Jen Masterson’s regular outfit from 6teen embodies mid-2000s Canadian mall culture, combining functional sportswear with relaxed casual basics. It is an accessible costume to assemble, though matching her specific color palette is essential to make the character immediately recognizable.
Her look relies on clean athletic separates: a loose hooded sweatshirt, a fitted top, a tennis skirt, and coordinated footwear. The overall silhouette is defined by the contrast between her oversized upper layer and the shorter pleated skirt, framed by her straight auburn hair.
Layering the Upper Half
The centerpiece of the costume is her light periwinkle zip-up hoodie, worn open over a plain white tank top. The color of the hoodie is distinctive; it leans toward a soft blue-violet rather than standard sky blue or gray. A mid-weight fleece or french terry sweatshirt with a split kangaroo pocket matches the relaxed fit from the series. Sizing up slightly gives the hoodie the slouchy drape seen on screen, while leaving the zipper undone shows off the clean white undershirt.
Underneath, a basic white scoop-neck tank top provides high contrast against the periwinkle fleece. Opt for a simple ribbed or smooth cotton fabric that sits flush against the torso. Tucking the tank lightly into the waistband keeps the waistline visible and prevents the hem from bunching beneath the unzipped jacket.
The Tennis Skirt and Footwear
For bottoms, Jen wears an all-white pleated tennis skirt that rests at the natural waist and falls around mid-thigh. A structured polyester or twill skirt with crisp knife pleats holds its shape during long hours of walking. Many modern athletic skirts include built-in compression shorts, which add welcome comfort and coverage for conventions or outdoor photoshoots.
Her legwear and footwear continue the cool-toned athletic theme. Jen sports light pastel blue crew socks pulled straight up to the lower calf, paired with two-tone white and blue slip-on sneakers. Simple canvas skate or tennis slip-ons with blue side accents mimic her animated shoe design without requiring custom paint work or complex shoe covers.
Hair Styling and Makeup
Jen’s hairstyle is defined by long, bone-straight auburn locks parted straight down the middle and falling well past the shoulders. A 28-to-30-inch synthetic wig with a natural reddish-brown tone works right out of the bag with minimal modification. Use a wide-tooth comb and a bit of wig conditioner to detangle the long strands, and set the center part using low heat from a handheld steamer if the wig parting needs flattening.
Her makeup is understated, drawing focus almost entirely to her distinct hot pink lips. A bold fuchsia or magenta lipstick with an opaque cream finish mirrors the cartoon aesthetic. You can keep eye makeup minimal with soft brown liner and mascara, allowing the bright lip color to anchor the face against the warm auburn hair.
