Steps

Part 1 of 4: Dress up like a mermaid

1. 

   Choose the color of the ocean. Costumes in the colors of the sea will help you evoke the image of a mermaid without violating the school dress code. Bright blue, green and all turquoise shades are associated with the sea. However, you don't have to just use the blues either. A hint of purple or orange gives you a tropical look. If you like minimalism then white and cream colors go well. If you are a strong girl who cannot live without black, feel free to wear black. Being a mermaid means showing off who you are. If you don't have the above colors in your wardrobe and can't afford to shop, make up for it with accessories and overall image.
   • See pictures of ocean life and try to simulate some of the colors and details in it.

   Wear shells or fish scales. The mermaid often uses two pieces of clams to cover her chest. True, you can't just wear two pieces of shell without wearing anything when you go to school, but you can find a shirt with this effect by printing a scallop image on a t-shirt. If you don't like seashells, you can also wear a coat with a shiny fish scale pattern. Another option is to wear ocean-themed tights or fish-patterned tops.

Combine your skirt with a scallop or fish scale top, and you'll have a complete outfit. If you don't have it or like it, just wear a soft fluffy dress. Just have the right color and style for your character in the ocean and you'll look like a mermaid!

   Try wearing fishtail tights. The mermaid image has grown in popularity in recent years, so it is easy to find mermaid-themed items. Look for a pair of fishtail pants or socks. These tights look like they are covered with iridescent fish scales. Match the tight pants with the blue shirt and you have a right outfit.
