Step 2

Put on a black tie with the outfit.

Step 3

Cut two rectangles from a piece of cardboard that are about 2 inches wide by 3 inches long. Use markers to draw stripes on the pieces of cardboard so they look like epaulets. Attach the epaulets to the shoulders of your shirt using fabric tape.

Step 4

Purchase a pilot's hat from a local costume shop or online and wear it, along with a pair of aviator sunglasses, to complete the look.
