/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

as someone who has lurked here and seen how merciless seagulls can be, I appreciate you setting up this thread for casuals like me.

So I want to put together a Super Sentai style costume. Not looking for accuracy, just fun. I was wondering if one of these red skin suits (pic related) would be a good base to start with?

My idea is to add accessories (belt, gloves, sports arm/shin pads) to complete the look, as well as some kind of tabard piece so I'm not directly flaunting my manly potato-shaped torso.

Any tips or cautions from the pros?
