Deciding your outfit is one of those problems only con goers will understand, because it's a particularly unique quandary. Of course you'll be concerned that you look good, especially when you're going to be immersed in your fellow fanboys for the weekend - this is definitely the place where your White Lantern t-shirt will get the recognition it deserves - but, really, that shouldn't be your highest priority. This isn't a night out. It's barely even a trip to the shops on a Sunday morning. This is Comic Con, and comfort is king. Seriously, you know we said back there you'll be walking all day? That wasn't an exaggeration. There aren't chairs at SDCC. They are like unicorns, except people will probably be cosplaying as unicorns. Cool though those Batman Converse are, what you actually want are some sturdy and comfortable walking boots, the sort that are broken in and aren't going to be rubbing or causing you blisters. It's also gonna be boiling hot, so go for the shorts and shirt (and maybe sure they're not colours that show up sweat). Even if you're cosplaying, make sure you've got decent shoes on, for the same reason. It's not like people care what Harley Quinn wears on her feet, do they? Don't answer that.
