To recreate a costume for Jonathan “Johnny” Loughran from Hotel Transylvania, you’ll need to focus on a few key elements that define his quirky, youthful appearance. Here are the essential components:

1. Hair

Johnny’s most distinctive feature is his bright orange-red hair. You have a couple of options for this:

  • Wig: A wild, spiky, and messy orange wig is the most effective way to replicate his look. Many costume or cosplay stores sell wigs specifically for this character.
  • Hair Dye/Spray: If you have short, light-colored hair, you could use a temporary orange hair spray or dye to get the right color and style.

2. Clothing

His outfit is a combination of a brightly colored long-sleeved shirt and casual shorts.

  • The Shirt: The central part of his outfit is a long-sleeved shirt. It’s a baseball-style shirt with bright orange long sleeves. On top of the orange long sleeve shirt, wear a raglan t-shirt in yellow and frog green color. The key is to find a shirt with a similar color and design. It’s reminiscent of a vintage Brazilian soccer jersey.
  • The Shorts: He wears a pair of simple, light khaki or beige cargo shorts. The style is casual and a bit baggy.

3. Footwear

Johnny’s sneakers are a crucial part of his look.

  • Blue and Green Running Shoes: Look for a pair of blue sneakers with bright green accents on the sole. Brands like Asics, Reebok, Adidas or New Balance may have similar styles and would be a good starting point.

4. Accessories (Optional but Recommended)

  • Backpack: In the movie, Johnny carries a large oversized traveller’s backpack. You can use a small, worn-out backpack to complete his traveller look.
