ABOUT SHREK:

Shrek is the protagonist of the Shrek film franchise. He is a large, green-skinned ogre with a Scottish accent who initially lives alone in his swamp, preferring solitude and being left alone. Despite his gruff and cynical exterior, Shrek has a kind heart and becomes the reluctant hero who embarks on a journey to rescue Princess Fiona, eventually falling in love with her. Shrek defies the traditional heroic archetype, being physically unattractive and out of shape, but his character arc demonstrates that true heroism comes from within.

How To Dress Like Shrek

1. LEGGINGS – Our sexy Shrek costume starts with a cute pair of plaid, brown leggings.

2. BODICE – Next, a brown bodice is perfect for recreating that swamp-core look without having to sacrifice looking your best!

3. SHIRT –  To keep that medieval theme going, we landed on a super cute vintage-inspired top with ruffled sleeves and chest. 

4. EARS –  There are countless Shrek ears available out there. We just chose one of the highest-rated pairs online.

5. SHOES – We didn’t want to go full hog with whatever peasant shoes Shrek is wearing. Instead, we went for a cute pair of brown Margot loafers that are still very much in keeping with the spirit of the outfit.

6. BODY PAINT – Finally, you will need a good amount of ogre-green face and body paint.
