Ennui Costume Guide

Dress like Ennui from Inside Out 2 with a navy blue turtleneck and matching sweatpants.

ABOUT ENNUI:

Ennui, the personification of boredom from Inside Out, is the ultimate mood killer. With their perpetual deadpan expression and monotone voice, they’re the living embodiment of that feeling when you just can’t muster up any enthusiasm, no matter how hard you try. Ennui’s idea of a good time is watching paint dry or counting the number of ceiling tiles in a room. But don’t let their dull exterior fool you – they’ve got a wicked sense of humor, and they’re always ready to throw a little shade at the more excitable emotions. Ennui may be a buzzkill, but they’re the perfect antidote to too much excitement.

How To Dress Like Ennui

1. TURTLENECK – There is nothing quite so as dissatisfying as a turtleneck sweater. We always think it will look better than it actually does, the perfect starting place then for Ennui.

2. WIG – This purple wig with a straight fringe was made specifically for Ennui costumes such as ours.

3. PHONE CASE – Add a light purple phone case and commence the listless doom scrolling!

4. SWEATPANTS – If the feeling of ennui were to be embodied in any one piece of clothing, it would be the sweatpant.

5. SOCKS – Time to slip into a pair of your comfiest and holiest socks because we’re partying in style!

6. BODY PAINT – Finally, you will need a light pastel face and body paint to match Ennui’s cheery complexion.
