ABOUT JONATHAN LOUGHRAN:
Jonathan “Johnny” Loughran, voiced by Andy Samberg, is the first human to enter Hotel Transylvania. Initially lost and unaware of the hotel’s true nature, he is mistaken for a monster and humorously disguised as “Johnnystein.” Johnny is carefree, adventurous, and embodies a free spirit, quickly forming a romantic bond with Mavis Dracula. His easygoing nature contrasts with Count Dracula’s overprotectiveness, leading to comedic conflicts.
1. T-SHIRT – We begin with a gold and green jersey for this colorful Jonathan cosplay.
2. UNDERSHIRT – Next, you will need a loose-fitting orange undershirt, to be layered under your tee.
3. SHORTS – And a pair of loose-fitting khaki cargo shorts.
4. SHOES – Get yourself some bright trainers like this blue pair of running shoes with a green sole.
5. SOCKS – A simple pair of white socks with striped detailing are perfect for this look.
6. WIG – Finish with a bright orange, messy wig, like this one designed specifically for a Jonny the Human cosplay.
Hotel Transylvania is a place where you can find all manner of mythical beasts and fictional beings but, perhaps the most peculiar of all, is the awkward and goofy but loveable Jonathan Loughran.
His fashion sense might leave a lot to be desired but it sure does make for an excellent cosplay! It also has the potential to be an adorable couples costume when paired with our Mavis guide.
Find that, and all of our Hotel Transylvania costume ideas, in the complete collection below!

Start with a yellow-and-green sports jersey layered over an orange shirt, then add khaki cargo shorts and striped white socks. Bright sneakers and messy orange hair complete Jonathan’s relaxed backpacker look. Keep the orange sleeves visible beneath the jersey so the layered colors match the outfit featured in this guide.
Yes. Johnny’s outfit uses everyday sportswear, so a yellow jersey, orange undershirt and cargo shorts make a convincing starting point. Reuse colorful trainers and striped socks if you have them. A messy orange wig supplies a strong character cue when the individual clothing pieces are only approximate matches.
Jonathan, often called Johnny, is the human visitor who is disguised as Johnnystein inside the hotel. This guide recreates his colorful casual outfit rather than a detailed monster disguise. Keep the jersey, cargo shorts and orange hair as the foundation, adding disguise details only if you want that particular scene.
Pair Jonathan’s bright jersey and cargo shorts with Mavis in a black dress and striped tights. Their contrasting colors make the couple easy to recognize without matching outfits. Count Dracula can join for a family group, while Wanda Werewolf adds another colorful character for a larger Hotel Transylvania party.
Aim for tousled orange hair with an uneven, slightly spiky shape. A short character wig is convenient, but you can also style your own hair for a looser interpretation. Keep it messy rather than sleek, since that casual shape complements Johnny’s layered sportswear and distinguishes him from the hotel’s formal residents.
Prioritize the yellow-and-green jersey, orange layer and khaki shorts before buying extra accessories. A simple Jonathan costume can cost around $35–$75, particularly when you reuse trainers and socks. The orange hairstyle is the next useful detail; an exact shoe brand or perfectly matched stripe pattern is less important.
