Suki’s Fast and Furious Outfit
I think fashion goes in circles, which is why it is not a surprise a movie character’s outfit becomes popular again more than 20 years after the movie was launched. Yes, I’m talking about Suki’s Fast and Furious Outfit.
First Suki’s character appeared in the ‘2Fast2Furious’ movie and represents a strong and charismatic woman in a street racing world. Devon Aoki who played Suki has been wearing different outfits during this movie, but I’m sure that there is one that is stuck in the head of everyone who at least saw a trailer for this movie. Today we will go through each item of Suki’s Outfit.

Suki’s Outfit Step-by-Step
1. Tops
It must be the easiest part of Suki’s outfit, as it consists only of 2 parts which are pink and purple spaghetti strap crop tops.
2. Short Jean Shorts
Despite the common impression that Suki is wearing pink leather pants, she is wearing jean shorts with a wide pink leather belt and pink trouser-leg strapped to the belt.
3. Boots
Unfortunately in the movie, Suki’s shoes are often covered with long pink trouser-legs, so it’s hard to recognize which boots she is wearing. However, we can see her wearing massive platform boots, so knowing you will wear the same trouser-legs, you can take any massive size boots you have. Here I will add a link to Chelseas that will fit this outfit, so you can get Suki’s inspired boots.
4. Suki’s Pink Leather Pants DIY
Now we are getting to the hardest part of this outfit, as you cannot just buy the same pants online for a reasonable price, or the one that will fit you well. So we need to make them ourselves. Here is a step-by-step guide to making Suki’s leather pants.
1. Buying Cheap Pink Pants
I found the best option for handmade Suki’s pants. It is a cheap, pu leather pants with wide trouser-legs. They might not be the highest quality pants, but I don’t think you want to do the next steps with $100 leather pants, knowing that you will wear them only once.
2. Measure and cut
Now you should measure the necessary trouser-leg length that will fit your height. You should cut your pants as displayed on the picture, so the top side of your pants will become a belt/skirt, then you will have approx. 4-inch spacing, and then you have trouser legs.
3. Connecting belt with trouser-legs
The leftover pants material you have after step two, you can use as straps. Measure approximately 4 pieces of 4-inch straps. Then sew them to each trouser leg and the belt from the front and the back side, so the trouser legs can hold onto your belt/skirt.
4. Outer Side Stitching
As you can see on the original Suki pants there are cuts on the outer side of the trouser leg and a stitching.
However, on our version of pants, we can skip cutting part and just make stitching with leather cords. Each cord is 5m (5.47 Yards) in length, so consider taking 2 pcs.
I think that the material of our pants is too soft, and it will not look as good as the original after cutting the sides. Try it only at your own risk.
5. Paint Leather Design Pattern
Suki’s pants have an unusual design pattern, which makes them unique. So we cannot leave our pants pink, as it will not look authentic.
Use an acrylic leather paint kit that has all the necessary colors, preparer, and finisher, and try to recreate the pattern you see in the picture.
It shouldn’t be identical, but try to make it at least close to the original, so you can shine even on cosplay events with your Suki’s pants.
5. Leather Belt
Yes, you see it right, we need a leather belt on our leather belt. If you are left with some material, you can use it to make the same color belt, and add some cowgirl buckle, or just order one following the link below.
Conclusion
These are all the steps you need to make Suki’s Fast and Furious outfit by yourself. It will take some time for you, but it’s the costume you will be proud of as you make it yourself!
