Posture - don't pull your shoulders forward. Wear a posture corrector under your costume. Watch feet and arm placement - body language that screams "I'm insecure" makes you look worse, so fake confident body language. Wear something to help your feet not hurt or rub in your shoes: shoe pads, insoles, or special socks with hidden features (double socks with shoe pads hidden in the outer one, etc) - walking when you feel uncomfortable will worsen your posture. If your eyes are bad use a cane, umbrella, sword etc like a blind man's cane so you aren't staring at the ground when you walk. If you normally wear glasses you can spring for prescription contact lenses, but in my case they cost $800 because my eyesight is so bad. Sometimes your whole face seems to change just by changing your eye color. Glasses - get glare proof & flash photo proof lenses.
Wrong shoes (heels or tennis shoes when the character has none, flip-flops instead of zori) - These days you can buy almost any type of shoe under the sun for $10-30 on Chinese sites like Temu, Aliexpress and Taobao, and get used traditional Japanese items for similar prices via sites like Mercari & FromJapan, so there is usually no excuse to not find shoes similar to the character. You can use colored shoe leather retouch paint to get a more realistic look for shoes, and make diy worbla (plastic pellets + flour) for harder shapes.
Wrinkles - the costume in this pic would look great if the gold parts weren't wrinkly and shiny.
It's psychologically proven that smiling increases attractiveness. Have you ever noticed how almost no one simply walks around on the street smiling to themselves? If you get accidentally photographed in the background of someone else's shot, you want to be smiling. And you don't want to be "not smiling" because you're worried about no muscles, BO, skin flakes, oily hair or something (diet, lemon juice + coconut oil shampooing, etc goes a long way in changing that).
