Superheroes in Everyday Life

I’m the type of person who loves to showcase whatever types of fandoms I’m in.

A couple years ago, a girl named Leslie Kay came up with idea of “Disney bounding” for fans of Disney.

“Disney bounding” is when someone creates inspired outfits by certain characters based off of color schemes or style of the characters.

Most of these outfits can easily be made from items in your closet.

I thought a fun task would be to see what superheroes I could come up with from items in my closet.

Outfit inspired by Spider-Man

Spider-Man:Everyone’s favorite web-slinger follows along the lines of a red and blue color scheme. I channelled my inner Peter Parker and decided to follow my outfit and the same fashion as his suit. I wore a blue flannel with a red cami as an accent for the top. On the bottom, I wore navy blue pants that match his suit with red converse that matches his shoes. I added my glasses as a little extra to match the nerdy side of Spider-Man.

Outfit inspired by Nightwing

Nightwing: Inspired by dink Grayson, Nightwing’s outfit has a very simple blue and black color scheme. I personally own quite a bit of blue so finding the right shade of blue was the real challenge. I decided to wear black leggings, converse and cardigan to match the black of his suit. I added a blue cami and scrunchie as accents to match the blue bird on his chest. 

Outfit inspired by Winter Soldier

Winter Soldier: Making a comeback from serving in World War 2, Bucky Barnes finally got to experience what it’s like to be in modern society. Winter Soldier was such a fun outfit to create. I wore a grey sweater to match his signature arm along with black leggings and combat boots to show the historical background in the outfit. Special shoutout to two of my closest friends for the addition of the leather jacket. For the final touch, I wore a red scrunchie to accent the red star on his arm.

Outfit inspired by Batman

Batman: Straight from Gotham City, the next superhero I was inspired to find an outfit was based off of Batman. Similar to Nightwing, Batman also follows a very basic color scheme. This was the easiest outfit to make because I wore black leggings, converse and cardigan to match the black of his suit. I added a yellow t-shirt to match the symbol of his bat in the center of his suit.

Outfit inspired by Daredevil

Daredevil: Based off of one of my personal favorite superheroes, I did an outfit inspired by the “Man with no fear” or otherwise known as “The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.” The character of Daredevil has a strong red color scheme with some accents of black, so that was the main focus of the outfit. I wore a red and black flannel and red leggings to embody the suit. The black converse matched the same color as his shoes. The black cami underneath serves as more toward the accents of his suit. To top off the outfit, I added a red scrunchie and red sunglasses to represent his cowl.

Outfit inspired by Kid Flash

Kid Flash: To match “The Fastest Man Alive,” Wally West aka Kid Flash was one of the easiest outfits to create from my closet. His suit follows a simple yellow top and red bottom. I matched the same outfit as he did. I also decided to make this look a little more sporty than my other ones because Kid Flash is a runner. I personally don’t own any yellow shoes so I added the white converse as a neutral tone to bring the outfit together.

Outfit inspired by Wanda Maximoff

Wanda Maximoff: The outfit I inspired my look on is from the Scarlett Witch herself in her first MCU movie- “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” This look can follow along the lines of “disney bounding” but could also be used for cosplay. To bring Wanda to life, I simply used a black dress similarly to the one she is wearing in the movie. To represent the red jacket, I added a red cardigan to the dress. Finally, I brought the piece together by wearing some knee high boots very similar to the knee highs she also wears in the movie.
