Mayor of Whoville Costume Guide

How to dress like Augustus Maywho.

ABOUT AUGUSTUS MAYWHO:

Augustus Maywho is the mayor of Whoville and the primary antagonist of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Despite outwardly appearing as full of festive cheer as the other residents of Whoville, he is revealed to be a deeply materialistic individual whose primary focus is on the more commercial and superficial aspects of Christmas.

As a child, Maywho was also the ringleader of a group of bullies who shunned and rejected The Grinch based on his physical appearance.

How To Dress Like Augustus Maywho

1. ROBE – Mayor Augustus is a man who appreciates the power that comes from his position and this robe will have you feeling every bit like the King you are.

2. SUIT – Mayor Augustus wears a stylish charcoal two-piece suit with a light sheen and a polka dot pattern. 

3. WAISTCOAT – In keeping with the festivities of Whoville, we chose a red plaid waistcoat to wear under our suit.

4. SCARF – Wrap up warm with a red & black checkered scarf. We found this well-reviewed option from Ted & Jack was the closest match to the one worn by Mayor Augustus.

5. GLOVES – Add a warm pair of suede gloves in gray. Formal and practical, particularly for those chilly Christmas festivities.

6. SASH – As a decorated and respected politician, Augustus’s sash is decorated with the many medals and accolades he must have accumulated over the years.

7. MEDALS – Add some military medals and pins to your sash so that everyone can see at first glance what an impressive and important Whoville gentleman you surely are.

8. MICROPHONE – A retro microphone prop is an optional but fun accessory for this Whoville costume.

9. WIG – Round off your Mayor Augustus costume with his signature hairstyle and remarkably bushy eyebrows.
