Tish Katsufrakis Costume Guide

Tish Katsufrakis wears an understated, distinctly late-nineties ensemble built around muted purples, clean layers, and bookish accessories. While the other kids in Bahia Bay lean into sporty casuals or skate-inspired streetwear, Tish’s wardrobe reflects her artistic, intellectual personality with a sensible cardigan, midi skirt, and slip-on clogs.

Recreating her appearance comes down to balancing two different shades of purple with the right silhouette. The outfit is comfortable to wear and relies on everyday garments, though getting the hair shape and round wire-rimmed frames right keeps it from looking like random thrifted loungewear.

Cardigan and Base Layer

The core of Tish’s upper half is a pale lavender cardigan buttoned loosely over a white camisole. In the cartoon, the cardigan has a relaxed fit with full-length sleeves and a simple round or shallow V-neckline. You want a knit lightweight enough that it drapes softly without adding bulky seams along the shoulders. Leaving the top button or two undone allows the white neckline of the camisole to show clearly underneath, establishing the contrast seen in her character model.

A basic cotton or modal White Camisole works well underneath because it lays flat and keeps you cool under convention lighting. For the sweater, the Long Sleeve Lavender Cardigan offers the soft pastel tone required to contrast against her darker skirt. Push the cardigan sleeves up slightly toward the wrists or let them hang naturally; either way, keep the fit modest and relaxed rather than form-fitting.

Midi Skirt and Slip-On Shoes

Tish wears a solid purple skirt that sits at the natural waist and falls well below the knees, hitting roughly mid-calf. The shade is a deeper, richer violet than the pastel cardigan, which creates an intentional two-tone purple gradient across the entire outfit. An A-line cut or a simple straight stretch jersey skirt mimics the clean, uncluttered animation lines of the show. The Midi Purple Skirt provides that exact lower-leg coverage while maintaining plenty of walking ease.

Her shoes are distinctly casual and backless—simple brown slip-on mules with a flat sole or low heel. Because her skirt stops at mid-calf, your feet and ankles are fully visible, making the shoe silhouette noticeable. The Brown Backless Slip On Shoes match the flat, clog-adjacent shape drawn in the series. Since you will be walking without back straps, test your fit beforehand so you can move comfortably without sliding out of them.

Hairstyle, Barrettes, and Glasses

Tish’s hair is one of her most defining visual traits. She has straight, shoulder-length auburn hair with a neat center part and blunt ends that curve ever so slightly inward. If you are styling a synthetic wig like the Straight Auburn Wig, use low indirect steam or a wide-tooth comb to smooth out any shipping bends, keeping the texture flat and sleek rather than voluminous.

Two rectangular lilac hair clips sit prominently on either side of her head, pinning back the front sections just above her ears. The Light Purple Barettes clip directly into the wig fibers at temple height. Positioning them symmetrically is worth taking an extra minute in front of a mirror, as they immediately anchor the specific character design.

Her round, wire-frame Glasses complete the face. In animation, her lenses are drawn as large circles that frame her eyes without thick plastic borders. The supplied Glasses provide that thin, rounded profile. If you already wear prescription glasses, you can either swap them for daily contacts beneath clear costume frames or find a similar wire frame suited to your vision needs.

Optional Character Accoutrements

Because Tish’s clothing consists entirely of streetwear separates, carrying a small prop helps establish the character in crowded settings. A vintage recorder, a leather-bound sketchbook, or a collection of classic literature fits her personality seamlessly without burdening your hands throughout the day. If you want to include an authentic touch from the show, Greek pastries or a notepad for Tish’s editorial critiques make fun, lightweight conversation starters.
