ABOUT VELMA DINKLEY:

Velma Dinkley is a central character in the Scooby-Doo franchise, recognized for her intelligence and analytical skills. Often seen wearing a baggy orange turtleneck, a short red skirt, and black glasses, she is the “brains” of Mystery Inc., frequently solving mysteries with her vast knowledge. A running gag involves her glasses falling off, leading her to exclaim, “My glasses! I can’t see without my glasses!”

How To Dress Like Velma

1. TOP – Our sexy Velma costume begins with a tie crop top in the same orange tone as the original cartoon.

2. SKIRT – Velma wears a pleated red mini-skirt, just like the one featured here.

3. SOCKS – Next, you will need a pair of orange tube socks to match your top.

4. SHOES – Velma favors a cute pair of Mary Jane flats which are a great option for this look but, as we are going for more of a steamy look, we opted for a pair of sexy stiletto heels instead.

5. ACCESSORIES – No need to look anywhere else, this wig and glasses set are the best accessories we could find!

6. MAGNIFYING GLASS – Finally, any Mystery-Inc. detective worth her salt would never be caught dead without her trusty magnifying glass.

Velma Costume: FAQ

How do you make a Velma costume?

Pair an orange top with a red pleated skirt, orange knee-high socks and red shoes. Add thick black glasses and a short brown bob wig to finish the look. Our version uses an orange tie crop top and red stiletto heels for a sexy Velma costume.

What does Velma wear in Scooby-Doo?

Velma’s classic outfit includes a loose orange turtleneck sweater, a red pleated skirt, orange knee-high socks and red Mary Jane shoes. Her square black glasses and chin-length brown bob are the finishing touches.

Can you make a Velma costume with normal clothes?

Yes! An orange sweater or top and a red skirt are enough to get started. Use clothes you already own, then add orange socks and black costume glasses. The orange-and-red color combination makes this an easy last-minute Halloween outfit.

What glasses and wig do you need for a Velma costume?

Choose thick, square black frames and a short brown bob wig with straight bangs. If your hair is already a similar length and color, style it into a bob and skip the wig. Costume glasses with clear, non-prescription lenses work well.

What shoes should you wear with a Velma costume?

Red Mary Janes are the closest match to Velma’s classic cartoon look. Red flats are a comfortable alternative, while the red stiletto heels featured in this guide suit a dressier version. Pair them with orange knee-high socks.

Who can you pair with Velma for a group costume?

Daphne makes a fun costume partner for Velma. For a full Mystery Inc. group, add Fred, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. A magnifying glass is an easy optional prop for mystery-solving photos together.
