Gru's dark outerwear and striped scarf set the direction for this Despicable Me costume. The character is a bald, long-nosed super-villain turned loving dad and boss of the Minions. The supplied outfit focuses on his clothing, leaving you to choose your own additions for his bald head, long nose and footwear.
The Zip Jacket and the Black and Grey Stripes
The dark grey zip jacket and black and grey striped scarf give this version its clearest visual cues. For a portrait focused on those pieces, try a front-facing pose that keeps both visible. A closer crop could give the scarf's pattern more attention, while a wider composition could include the pants as well.
The Gru Full Set uses polyester for its jacket, pants and striped scarf. The scarf-detail photograph offers a reference for the striped accessory when deciding how to arrange it for your portrayal.
Three Pieces Under the Gru Full Set Name
The style name Gru Full Set refers to the following pieces:
- Dark grey zip jacket
- Pants
- Black and grey striped scarf
Men's sizes are available for the Gru Full Set. Its chart lists the jacket waist and pants waist separately.
Give the jacket waist and pants waist equal attention when selecting this Gru outfit. Both garments belong to the same set, so consider their separate chart entries together before choosing a men's size.
Adding Gru's Bald Head and Long Nose
A bald cap and black boots are suggested additions for this Gru outfit; neither comes with the jacket, pants and scarf. A fake nose is also separate, should you want to refer to his long-nosed appearance. Choose a bald cap, a nose accessory or both according to which of Gru's features you want to emphasise.
For a portrait featuring the bald cap or nose accessory, try framing Gru from the head down to the scarf. A full-length photograph can also show your chosen black boots alongside the supplied clothing.
Using the Gru Set's Front, Angled and Rear References
The front photograph gives you a reference for the jacket, pants and scarf together. For a turned Gru portrait, compare the two angled photographs and choose a pose you would like to try. You might keep the scarf facing the camera or turn further to make the jacket the focus.
The rear photograph is useful when planning a shot of Gru turning away from his Minion companions. Pair that pose with a front-facing group photograph to give the dark grey jacket and striped scarf different roles in the sequence.
Let Gru Direct the Minion Group
Minions make a natural group choice beside their boss. For a Halloween photograph, ask your Minion companions to look toward Gru as though waiting for instructions. Hold a stern expression for one frame, then let the group interrupt your attempt at authority. That small exchange gives the dark grey jacket and striped scarf a playful setting. It also leaves room for the loving dad behind the super-villain: Gru can look serious without every photograph becoming a villain pose.
When the Minions gather close to Gru, ask them to leave his striped scarf visible. This lets the jacket and black and grey pattern remain readable in a tighter group portrait.
