Before anything else, you should track down a burgundy red jacket or robe to wear over the rest of your clothing. This is because it is the most iconic and recognizable piece that he wears. The red satin robe is worn atop a pair of black satin pajama bottoms to match, giving the ensemble an increasingly sophisticated look. 

He wears black loafer shoes that you likely already have at home. He could almost always be seen wearing a sailor hat on his head to finish off his look. In his hand, you are likely to find him holding a pipe. Once all of these pieces have been put together, you can step out of the house as the iconic Hugh Hefner.
