Is it worth cosplaying characters that are not easily identifable?

Do they have any accesories that you could add to make them more recognizable? A prop that would make sense?

I've found that cosplays like that can really be taken that extra step since the outfit itself is so simple. Try to add your own touches to bring the character to life more.

What if they have no accessories? I think it'd just be easier to carry evidence that they exist, like a photo of them.

maybe if you tried dressing up as characters from your own species it'd be more recognizable

Or, better yet, tape the photo of them to your face

It depends if your motivation is to get attention, or to have fun.

No OP. I've done that before and felt like I wasted my time and money. The way I see it if people can't recognize your cosplay you might as well have gone in your regular clothes. Regardless cosplaying people in "plain" clothes is barely worth calling a cosplay. I mean since it sounds like they wear regular clothes might as well "cosplay" them anyways.

Only if the cosplay is simple and cheap, or extremely elaborate and amazing that people will like your cosplay even though they don't recognize it.

I think it's worth it if either if 1) you know other fans will recognize you, 2) you can get cool photos, or 3) people will think it looks cool regardless of whether they recognize it.
1 and 3 are less about plainclothes cosplay and more just about very very obscure cosplay, and 2 can be anything.
Short answer, not worth it if you want attention, maybe worth it if you want to meet people or get neat photo ops.

It really depends on whether or not you cosplay for the sole purpose of being recognized, or cosplay out of love for the character.

I do a lot of cosplays that are of background characters or from stuff that was never really popular or has been forgotten over time. Compared to the times I've done more well-known and easily recognizable characters it feels 200% better to be recognized by 1 person as a simple-designed character from some lesser known series because you know that person is a genuine fan instead of just someone who latched onto a passing craze like a majority of anime and game fans out there nowadays.

if you really like the character, sure. just don't get upset if people don't recognize you.

an easy way to make it more obvious you're cosplaying, though, is to do it in a group, especially if the normal-looking clothes are something like a uniform or suits.
