Jake Peralta: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
Jake's style is casual yet put-together, with a touch of geekiness. Think of him as the cool kid who also loves comic books and sci-fi movies. To nail Jake's look, you'll need:
- A classic Jake Peralta t-shirt. You can either DIY this or find one online. Jake's shirts often feature pop culture references, so have fun with it!
- Dark jeans or chinos. Jake usually wears these with his t-shirts and a belt.
- Brown shoes. Jake's footwear of choice is usually a pair of brown shoes or boots.
- A leather jacket. This is Jake's signature outerwear. It adds a touch of coolness to his otherwise casual look.
- Jake's hair is a crucial part of his look. If you've got the length, style it like Jake's - swept to the side with a slight wave. If not, a wig might be your best bet.
Don't forget the accessories! Jake's got a few signature pieces that can elevate your costume. A fake mustache (for those who can't grow one), a Jake Peralta name tag, and a toy lightsaber or laser pointer can add that extra touch of Jake-ness.

Amy Santiago: The Serious, Yet Stylish Sergeant
Amy's style is professional yet feminine, with a hint of quirkiness. She's often seen in tailored suits and dresses, but she also knows how to rock a casual look. Here's what you'll need to channel your inner Amy:
- A tailored suit or dress. Amy's go-to is a power suit, but you can also opt for a dress if you prefer. The key is to keep it professional yet stylish.
- Blouses and button-downs. Amy often wears these under her suits or dresses. You can find some great options in solid colors or subtle patterns.
- Heels or dress shoes. Amy's footwear of choice is usually a pair of heels or dress shoes. They add a touch of elegance to her outfits.
- Amp up the accessories. Amy loves her statement necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Don't be afraid to layer them on!
- Amy's hair is another crucial part of her look. If you've got the length, style it like Amy's - straight and sleek. If not, a wig might be your best bet.
Don't forget the badge! Amy's a sergeant, after all. You can DIY this or find one online. And if you really want to commit, you can even carry around a fake walkie-talkie or handcuffs.

Jake and Amy: The Dynamic Duo
