To start off this scientist’s costume, you will, of course, need a white lab coat. Under the coat, you can wear a simple tee.
Pair the lab coat with black straight-fit work pants, and add some class and style by stepping into a pair of pointed-toe dress boots.
Dexter adds some color to his ensemble by wearing purple gloves that rise past his wrists. He also wears a pair of thick-rimmed black glasses that help him see as he works.
Unlike his sister, Dee Dee, who is blonde, Dexter has natural orange hair. Use orange hair wax to your hair to complete the whole look.
