A step-by-step guide to a Henry Cavill costume from The Witcher?

First things first, Geralt of Rivia is most recognizable by his striking silver-blonde locks flowing down just below his shoulders. It would be prudent to get the color and the texture of the hair right. The hair should not be silky smooth but a little unruly. Also, one slight change in tone toward the yellow on the color wheel and people will think you are Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter

For clothes, Henry Cavill in The Witcher always sports a pair of black fitted leather pants, a relatively looser buttoned-up top, and a pair of black boots. The sleeves are rolled up to the elbow for ease of movement when wielding a sword. The signature Geralt sword is not the only prop you would need. The monster killer also dons a silver necklace with the order’s medallion featuring a wolf insignia within a circle.
