Find brown pants. Shaggy, ever the simple dresser, wears plain everyday brown pants. Chances are, you've got a pair of suitable brown pants just lying around as part of your normal wardrobe. If not, a quick trip to a local retail store or thrift store will remedy the problem.

Think about facial hair. If you have Shaggy's classic goatee, then you can be very proud of yourself and skip this step. If not, consider visiting a costume or party supply store to find costume facial hair. It's an extra step, but will improve the overall look of your Shaggy costume.
