A NEW form of cosplay encourages millennials to dress up as homeowners.

Across the UK young couples are getting together to wear Gant chinos or a Boden blouse while walking around with the confident gait of someone who bought at the right time.

Event organiser Tom Logan said: “Some couples bring Dulux colour charts, so they can role-play being allowed to decorate their house as they wish, while others bring plans for an oak-framed extension or a catalogue from Smallbone of Devizes.”

Cosplayer Helen Archer said: “We know it’s a fetish, but for a few hours we just love pretending to own property.

“I just run around shouting, ‘look at my credit rating, bitches!’”
