15 Hunger Games Clothes And Accessories Only True Fans Will Love

Tributes, get ready: The final Hunger Games movie (Mockingjay – Part 2) will be out before we know it. For those of us who read the books, we know this is where all of your feelings get thrown into a blender. For those of you who don’t know what’s coming – brace yourselves.

I couldn’t be more excited about this movie. When the first movie came out, I finally felt like what my friends who read Harry Potter must have felt like when those movies came out. It’s a hard feeling to describe, but it was so amazing to be able to see one of my favorite stories come to life in a movie that was better than I could have ever dreamed. Since then, I’ve looked forward to every Thanksgiving season because that usually means a new Hunger Games movie.

But, if I’m being real, fan culture can be a little overwhelming. There is so much THG merch out there that it can be hard to shift through it and find what you really want to buy. So, I did it for you guys. Whether you want to try out some cosplay, dress as one of the characters for Halloween, or just show your love for this series on a regular basis, here are 15 Hunger Games clothes and accessories every true fan needs.

Three Finger Salute

Katniss describes the 3 finger salute as: "...an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means goodbye to someone you love." Remember that time she saluted, directly into camera and started the sparks that lead to a revolution? How badass/how gentle and compassionate.

Hunger Is No Game Lunch Bag

It's a book joke, it's very real politics, and it's the best way to bring your lunch anywhere. I know this isn't an accessory (because you throw it out when you're done) or apparel, but I'm counting it as a bag. Hunger is no game. Remember how families got extra rations when their kids put their names into the reaping more than once and the government used that system to exploit the poor? Yup. Thought so. Dystopian YA for the win!

Mockingjay Fingerless Gloves

So cozy! Fall is on it's way out and winter's coming up. You're gonna want to keep cozy while you wait in line for your Hunger Games tickets (and free up your fingers to check your phone, duh) so this is pretty much perfect.

Hungry Games T-Shirt

Pizza is delicious. And the mockingjay is carrying off a slice in it's beak? Perfection.

Real/Not Real Necklace

Rip my feelings out, why don't ya? One side says 'real' the other side says 'not real.' Like we don't know what's coming in this next movie. Oh, Peeta... what has the Capitol done to you? I'm not normally so moved by books, but the way that Katniss and Peeta help each other through recovering from the damage done to them by President Snow and the games? Ooph. Pass me a tissue.

Book Page Pendant

Carry a piece of the book with you around your neck. There's a variety of characters and phrases to choose from, but the pendant looks dainty enough to not be such a statement piece. This one's for those of you who are in love with the way Suzanne Collins strings phrases together and want to rock some words close to your heart.

Mockingjay Bracelet

I love that this looks like something Katniss would actually wear. The leather and suede straps remind me of the jacket she wears during the first movie. She's a hunter and not too flashy. The mockingjay is a nice statement piece, though and adds some femininity to it, but I like the typically 'masculine' size of it.

Hanging Tree Necklace

Katniss's morbid lullaby her dad used to sing to her was the inspiration for this piece. The arrows pointing down and the bird flying up toward the tree remind you that while we only hear Katniss sing the song in the third movie, that this song has been haunting her throughout the whole series. Before she gets tortured by the games, she's haunted by her dad's death. Ouch.

Grumpy Katniss Shirt

The Internet had to, OK? Who doesn't love Grumpy Cat?

Buy this from Redbubble for $24.50

Pearl Pendant Necklace

Peeta, you precious cinnamon bun. You are too good for this world. Peeta gives Katniss a pearl during the quarter quell and can we talk about the hidden heart detail on the locket itself containing the pearl? One of the more tender, sometimes overlooked, moments of the Hunger Games books.

Buy this from Etsy for $20

Rue's Song Shirt

It's the 4 note whistle Katniss and Rue used to communicate with each other during their first round in the games. Then, it became an emblem of Rue and Katniss's friendship and then it spread like wildfire with the revolution. And it all started with 2 teenage girls and a whistle. So cool.

Buy this from Redbubble for $24.80

Quiver and Arrow Earcuff

(Let's all take a moment to giggle about how the thing you carry your arrows in is called a 'quiver'... ok, so moving on.) This works as a non-fan accessory, too, and I love it! You can even rock it if you don't have pierced ears. Just slide it along to where it fits on your ear cartilage and squeeze to tighten. Bam! Instant Katniss vibes.

Buy this from Etsy for $39

District 12 Necklace

The arrow is for Katniss, the 12 is for her home-district. Very simple and classic as far as accessories go. This will pretty much go with anything and is definitely one of those "it's cool, but it's even cooler if you get it" pieces.

District 13 Long Sleeve

I'm not usually a fan of long sleeve shirts, but this one rocks. It looks like something you'd get after some covert Capitol-spy program. I'd definitely wear this to work out and just pretend that I'm in training to overthrow President Snow and feel like a badass.

Parachute Necklace

Donations from sponsors would come in via these parachutes and this necklace can even come apart so you can put goodies in it, like you're carrying around sponsorship treats. Definitely wear this to the movie premiere, even if you're just gonna carry around some gum. Such an excellent conversation starter.
