Negan, Negan, Negan... You are easily the worst villain so far in the world of The Walking Dead, yet there is something almost charming about you.
Negan is the leader of the a group called the Saviors and he rules with an iron fist. Or, rather, he rules with a barbed wired bat. He is terrifying and brutal, yet he inspires deep loyalty in many who follow him.
He has proven to be the most challenging leader Rick Grimes and the rest of Rick's group have come across, and they have not come away from meetings with Negan unharmed.
Looking like Negan is pretty simple since he only has one look. From his black jacket, red scarf, white shirt, and jeans to his cartridge belt and Lucille, here is everything you need to dress up in a Negan costume!

Need a refresher on Negan's murderous swagger and style? This video will help, but be aware that it is graphic and not for kids.

Negan's Clothes
This is what actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan's version of Negan looks like.
Jacket
Second only to Lucille, the jacket is the most recognizable aspect of a Negan costume. Negan's jacket is black leather and zips up on the right side, but it doesn't matter what side your jacket zips up on. The jacket you see here is a replica if you want to be as authentic as possible.
Scarf
You'll also need a red scarf for your neck. I can't help but wonder if the scarf is blood red because of Negan's love of brutal violence.
Shirt
There is a white shirt underneath Negan's jacket but I'm unsure if it has long sleeves or short so go with whatever works best with your climate to stay warm or cool.
Jeans
Negan's pants look like denim jeans and are brown. Brown is probably a good color for the zombie apocalypse since it will help hide dirt, and we've seen on The Walking Dead that there's plenty of that!
Belt
If you want to wear a belt then choose a brown one. That's what color Negan's belt is, like the one seen below.
Glove
Gloves come in pairs but you'll only need one for your right hand. Why? Because Negan wears a black leather glove on his right hand only, which is visible when he swings around his bat. The bully in Of Mice And Men wore just one glove, too, so I'm left to wonder if Negan was a fan of author John Steinbeck.
Boots
The final item needed when you dress up as Negan is a pair of biker boots. The boots should be black but otherwise you can choose whichever style you prefer, such as one with buckles or chains.
Accessories
Replica Bat
When you think of Negan I'm willing to bet you see him with his bat. He almost always has a baseball bat that is wrapped in barbed wire and named Lucille. This would be a great weapon against walkers but that's not how Negan uses it. He prefers to use it on the living by bashing in peoples brains. You can buy a replica of Lucille with or without blood on it.
- Why Did Negan Name His Bat Lucille?
- Answer
If you want to know how Lucille got its name then click the "Answer" tab. If not, I've got it hidden so nothing will be spoiled for you. The answer has been given in the comics but, as of this writing, it has not been revealed in the TV series and given that I think Negan will be around for a while I'm sure it will eventually be written into the show.
Baseball Bat
Instead of buying a replica you can carry around a plain bat and you'll still be recognized as Negan. Or, you can add barbed wire (fake, of course, for safety), which is under this.
Barbed Wire
It is fairly easy to recreate Lucille by using a regular bat and adding fake barbed wire. Please, don't use real wire since that would be dangerous! When you click the links below for Amazon and eBay you'll find garlands of barbed wire and strands made of leather or some other soft material.
Bullet Cartridge Belt
If you look closely you'll see that Negan wears a brown bullet cartridge belt around his waist. One thing I've noticed is that there are never any bullets in it. I guess it's another form of intimidation, a way of telling those around him that he might also have a gun somewhere on him.
Mustache
The comic version of Negan does not have a mustache but the TV version does so you can add a mustache if you want.
