Comic-Con Cosplay: Elhoffer Design Unveils Marvelous SDCC Exclusives

It's that time again - Comic-Con is here, even if it looks a little different this year. While we can't pile into the San Diego Convention Center like in years past to get those exclusive Hasbro figures, Funko Pops, or cosplay essentials, we can still shop for some cool Comic-Con exclusives from the comfort of our homes. In addition to IGN's Comic-Con@Home livestream, which is bringing you the con's best panels digitally, vendors like Elhoffer Design are offering new geek fashions and launching them on Preview Night, as if Comic-Con were happening in person. Will the experience be a little different? Definitely. But on the plus side, you won't to have get sweaty or fight the crowds to snag your swag. So, let's take a look at two of the new Marvel-inspired outfits Elhoffer Design is bringing to Comic-Con@Home this year.

Warrior King

First up are two pieces from Elhoffer's Warrior King collection. The homage to a certain King of Wakanda is clear in the design. While subtle enough to wear to work, an event, or even on camera during a video call, any Marvel fan would be able to spot which hero inspired this outfit.  According to founder Catherine Elhoffer, "The diamond art is flattering and sleek." Elhoffer also explains that "this crop top is custom knit and incredibly stretchy," while the skirt "is knit with lycra for an insane stretch." Both the pencil skirt and crop top will go on sale Wednesday, July 22, during Comic-Con@Home Preview Night. The Warrior King crop top is priced at $60.00 USD, and the Warrior King pencil skirt is priced at $90.00 USD.

Warrior Guard

This next outfit draws its inspiration from the powerful Dora Milaje, Wakanda's protectors. The vibrant yellows and oranges are bold colors to accompany anyone who "never freezes." These are companion pieces to Warrior King, featuring a crop top and pencil skirt. According to designer Elhoffer, you can "combine them, wear them separate, cross the tops," and that, "the style options with these looks may well be limitless." The Warrior Guard pencil skirt and crop top will go on sale Wednesday, July 22, during Comic-Con@Home Preview Night. The Warrior Guard crop top is priced at $60.00 USD, while the Warrior Guard pencil skirt is priced at $90.00 USD. This Warrior mini-collection is currently a Comic-Con 2020 exclusive and 10% of every purchase will also go to the NAACP.
