Welcome to the Macrodata Refinement team! If you are looking to bring the fiercely loyal and slightly chaotic energy of Lumon Industries to your next convention, you are in the right place.
Stepping into the world of Severance means embracing a very specific, carefully controlled aesthetic. The corporate look is deceptively simple but incredibly distinct.
Dylan George is a standout character with a sharp, slightly retro office style that makes for a fantastic and comfortable cosplay.
Whether you are attending a con or just want to feel the thrill of hitting quota, this Dylan George costume guide has everything you need.
Complete Costume Breakdown
Clothing & Core Pieces
The foundation of any Lumon employee’s wardrobe is the classic corporate suit. For Dylan, you have a couple of solid options depending on which episode you want to channel.
A well-fitting Blue Suit is a great starting point. It gives off that perfect, slightly dated middle-management vibe that the show nails so well.
Alternatively, you can opt for a Brown Suit. This earthy tone also fits perfectly within the drab, controlled color palette of the severed floor.
Underneath the jacket, you will need a crisp White Dress Shirt. Make sure it is ironed and tucked in neatly to maintain that strict corporate dress code.
To finish off the core outfit, slip into a pair of comfortable Brown Dress Shoes. You will be on your feet a lot, whether navigating the maze-like hallways or walking the convention floor.
Accessories & Details
Accessories are where this costume really comes to life and becomes recognizable. The devil is in the details at Lumon.
Dylan’s eyewear is iconic. Grab a pair of Gold Clear Lense Glasses. They add that necessary touch of retro intellectualism to his look.
Next, let’s talk neckwear. If you went with the blue suit, pair it with a classic Bluel Striped Tie. It ties the whole outfit together.
If you prefer the brown suit route, the Burgundy and White Striped Tie is an excellent choice to break up the monochromatic look.
Keep your trousers secure with a simple, functional Brown Woven Belt. It is a subtle detail that adds to the everyday office worker realism.
Finally, no severed employee is complete without their ID. You absolutely need a Blue Card Holder Lanyard to proudly display your Lumon credentials.
Cosplay Tips
Comfort is key when cosplaying a corporate character. Make sure your suit actually fits well so you can move around easily all day.
Pay attention to your grooming. Dylan keeps a relatively neat appearance, so styling your hair to look sharp and professional is a must.
If you want to take it to the next level, create a custom Lumon ID card to slide into your lanyard. There are plenty of templates available online.
Practice your best Dylan expressions. A mix of smug confidence and mild existential dread will really sell the character in photos.
Character Vibe & Styling Notes
Dylan is the office rebel who still fundamentally buys into the system, at least initially. He loves his perks and takes his work very seriously.
When wearing this cosplay, channel his intense focus and slightly abrasive charm. You are the top refiner, and you know it.
The clothing should look lived-in but strictly adherent to the rules. No wrinkled shirts or loose ties on the severed floor.
Carry yourself with the swagger of someone who just earned a coveted waffle party. It is all about the attitude.
Final Thoughts
Cosplaying Dylan George is a subtle yet brilliant choice for fans of Severance. It is comfortable, recognizable to fellow fans, and a lot of fun.
It is the perfect excuse to act slightly unhinged while wearing a perfectly sensible suit. Plus, you get to carry around cool props like finger traps.
Gather your fellow severed coworkers for a group cosplay and prepare to praise Kier together. Have fun refining those macrodatas!
