  2. Get the pants. EMT pants are either dark blue or various shades of grey. Real EMTs have pockets all down their leg, so the more pockets, the better. To go the extra mile, fill your pants with band aids, swabs, cotton balls, etc.Dress%20Like%20an%20EMT%20Step%202%20Version%202.jpg

  5. Choose some shoes. EMTs typically wear black shoes with nice thick soles for all the quick movement they do during the day. If you have a pair or black tennis or dress shoes, these should be fine; don't go invest in an expensive pair of shoes just for a one day costume.Dress%20Like%20an%20EMT%20Step%205%20Version%202.jpg
  6. Iron on some patches. There are a whole collection of EMT patches online available for purchase. For this costume, the EMT insignia and a name tag should do just fine. You can either sew or iron these onto the shirt.Dress%20Like%20an%20EMT%20Step%206%20Version%202.jpg
