Spirit Bound

A form of subtle cosplay. When the street clothing you choose to wear is in the same vein of a beloved character. The goal is to capture the spirit or essence of the character with common ready to wear fashion. This can include color scheme, pattern, texture or identifying accessories. Only a true fan will identify your passion for a beloved character. This is used in instances when one does not feel comfortable in costume, where full cosplay is not socially acceptable or where there are restrictions on costume wearing; such as Disney. It is similar to Disney Bound and Disney Bounding but is opened to all Media Genre; including, movies, games, and anime.

Today I am spirit bound to Yoshi. I’m wearing orange sneakers, white pants and shirt, green jacket and a red hat.
