Last-Minute Matrix Costume: What to Wear
Share
The three-piece Matrix costume
Running out of time? You can get a recognizable Matrix-inspired look together quickly with three essentials: a black coat, a black top and character sunglasses.
Start with the coat
A long black coat creates the strongest silhouette. If you already have one, you are halfway there.
Add a black base
Wear a black shirt or top with dark trousers and simple black footwear.
Finish with character sunglasses
Choose narrow Neo-inspired shades, sleek Trinity sunglasses or a Morpheus-style clip-on to make the character clear.

Order early when possible. We recommend ordering by October 15 for the best chance of receiving a costume before Halloween.
