Guys with a Big Body

For those with a more robust physique, characters like Kyoya Ootori from Ouran Host Club or Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler can be excellent choices. These characters often wear suits or formal attire, which can be tailored to fit and flatter a bigger body type. Additionally, their poised and composed demeanors add an extra layer of charisma to the cosplay.

Guys with a Skinny Body

If you have a slender frame, characters such as L from Death Note or Rei Ryugazaki from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club might be more up your alley. These characters have a lean build, and their costumes are usually simple and comfortable, ensuring ease of movement and a natural fit.

Guys with a Small Body

For those on the shorter or smaller side, characters like Deku/Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia (school boy edition) or Luffy from One Piece can be great options. Their youthful energy and determination are perfect for cosplayers with a smaller stature, and their costumes are often simple and easy to put together. Crossdressing is also not a bad idea if your body frame is not wide. Hey, as long as it looks good, why not? :)

Girls looking to cosplay as male characters have a plethora of options as well. Characters such as Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop or Android 17 from Dragon Ball Z offer a cool and edgy vibe, while still being straightforward to cosplay. The key is to focus on the character's attitude and mannerisms, bringing them to life through your performance. Anyhow, no matter who you want to cosplay as, the most important thing is that you enjoy the process!
