Stranger Things My Fav
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a 52-year-old *Stranger Things* fan, I recently got the Max Mayfield jacket and headphones set for Halloween, and it turned out to be a blast! Here’s my review on how the pieces worked for me. ### The Jacket The jacket is the highlight of the Max costume, and it really brings out that authentic, laid-back 80s vibe. The design is bright and sporty, with Max’s signature red and blue colors. It’s a lightweight, comfortable fit—perfect for October weather without being overly warm. The fabric quality was decent, especially for a costume piece, and it didn’t feel cheap, which I appreciated. The best part? The jacket has just the right amount of retro charm without feeling too costume-y, so I didn’t feel awkward wearing it at all. Even outside of Halloween, it could totally work as a fun jacket for casual outings or other retro-themed events. ### The Headphones The headphones were another fun touch. They have that old-school, chunky design that really completes Max’s look from the show. While these weren’t high-quality audio headphones (more of a prop), they’re still comfortable to wear around the neck and add an extra layer of authenticity. I didn’t expect them to work for actual listening, but if you’re aiming for more realism, you could pair them with a vintage Walkman or plug in a set of actual headphones with a similar look for the night. ### Putting It All Together With just the jacket and headphones, the look is instantly recognizable to *Stranger Things* fans without needing much else. I paired it with high-waisted jeans and a striped t-shirt, and the look was spot-on! Several people at the Halloween party knew right away who I was supposed to be, which made the night fun and full of nostalgia. Plus, it was easy to move around in, and I didn’t feel overdressed or uncomfortable. ### Final Thoughts As someone who remembers the 80s well, this costume took me back in time while also letting me connect with a modern show that I love. The jacket and headphones were affordable, easy to wear, and gave off just the right amount of “cool kid” energy without feeling out of place for my age. If you’re a *Stranger Things* fan who wants something recognizable but not overly elaborate, this costume combo is a winner!
