Items:
- Face masks are an easy one {
HERE} is the store where we picked up ours
- Collars, often have other connotations but add to a Look
- Fingerless gloves to go with the claw rings others have mentioned.
- Dropcrotch pants may help to give the illusion of haunches and/or shorter legs. Bunching up baggy pants at the knees or halfway on the calves then wearing thinner boots to give the digi look can work too
- Heels but stylized with fake hooves
- Shoes but the treads have animal footprints on them so you leave prints behind. These can be diy-ed on cheap shoes/sandals with shoe glue and rubber/foam cutouts but there are some sold like that already out there
- pawprint socks
-Aforementioned claw rings and scarecrow fangs. Will strongly second scarecrow fangs, as they are relatively cheap but work very very well. You shouldnt eat in them and you should sterilize often but they are fantastic if your teeth structure can take it.
- Wearing clothes in the colors of the pelt/hide/scales/feathers/etc of your kintype
- Wearing fur/leather/hide/feather(faux or otherwise) clothes. Ruffs on the collar, coats and capes, gloves, etc. Diy of this can be a glove that goes to the elbow having leather 'scales' sown onto the top of it along the length of the arm.
- Wearing clothes that evoke the limbs of the thing, such as a cape or jacket with wings embroidered or printed on them, or a pair of pants painted to have a tail winding down one leg
- There are hoodies with ears and tails on them, some are cheap and some are not cheap. We used to see a lot of them in furry con videos, specifically the kind make with minky fur on the ears and tail so you can wash it.
Anthrowear I think used to make them but they certainly dont anymore. They do have a wide vareity of mass-produced-esque tails. We have a cat one we got about ~9-10 years ago but the tail was too stiff for us and we had to remove the wire and clip to use it. No idea what their product improvements are like now, but you cant put the tail through the wash which makes it not a super great everyday wear deal.
-It is also possible to do lightrigs for those who glow and miss that. Either with glow in the dark/uv paint or by making a set of LEDs/fiberoptics/rope lights and setting them to a rig under your clothes or using cosplay adhesive and fake latex skin to stick them on you. Youd want some measure of knowing how to do electronics before making it yourself(especially if you want the lights to pulse or something which requires a little computer) but there are probably cosplay/fursuit people to ask about making one as it would have to be very custom.
- Colored contacts
- You can also tie a long scarf around your neck, put the 'tail' behind you under a coat, and let it drape down to look like a tail, or do a sash belt the same way?
- Many cosplay and furry creators make custom ears tails and horns or have premades to buy. Too many to list for these, really.
Saftey:
Hi! We go out in public all the time with visible nonhuman wear and have for quite a few years. There are safety concerns with doing this.
1- Cleanliness. As a general rule, if you dont know how to safely sterilize/wash it without wrecking it, dont wear it for anything other than special occasions. If you cant pop it in a washing machine or scrub it with dish soap in the sink, think twice before choosing it because things Dont Get Cleaned when they are hard to clean, and then it becomes a problem.
2- Utility. Also as a general rule, if you cant do daily tasks with it on easily/safely or without wrecking the gear, maybe dont. If you need to be OSHA compliant, you need to make sure your gear is OSHA compliant. If you are going to be doing things a long tail can get caught in and cause injury(such as operating tractors or getting in and out of cars a bunch or doing up and down a lot of escalators), maybe dont. If you are making pottery dont wear claw rings, if you work as a trash collector maybe dont wear paw gloves to work. If you are squeezing into tight spaces, dont wear huge horns. if it will make you overheat, dont wear it all the time in the hot sun.
3- People. If you are going to be around people be aware people can be curious, mean, and/or thieves. Especially teenagers and drunk people or people who read you as a minority who are bigots. You have to be prepared for tail tugging. Its just going to happen if you are around kids and/or drunk people. If you cant handle questioning with grace or people being rude with grace or your stuff is easily breakable if people pull tails and grab headbands, maybe dont.
A lot of people are great. We get a curious comment or two or a compliment and go on our way. But ESPECIALLY if you are in highschool, people can be rude and terrible and you have to be able to deal with that. We have had tail pulling, people nicking headbands and us having to chase to get it back, we have had really inept trolling via literal catcalling(meowing and pspspsing), etc. All of this was only from teens when we were a teen, and after a few weeks it died down, though.
If you cant deal with the inevitable hazing like this- and most places will haze you a little or at least question you when you first start doing it, then your safety comes first. If you are in a place where the atmosphere is that where you could get seriously hurt by someone hazing you for being 'weird' in public(esp if you are a minority), then your safety comes first.
