Luigi is very similar to his older brother in appearance, although Luigi is slimmer and taller. His face is noticeably thinner, and his hair is the same style as Mario's, but more of an auburn or dark maroon. Luigi's mustache is dark brown, sometimes black, and smooth, unlike Mario's mustache.

Luigi also wears clothes similar to Mario, but his shirt is green instead of red. Layered over the shirt is blue overalls, darker than Mario's. He also has brown work shoes, again darker than Mario's, with tan bottoms that reach above his ankles. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Luigi's shoes have Velcro on them, which is not present in any other game. [[Luigi's Cap]] is similar to [[Mario's Cap]], being green instead of red and having an "L" replace Mario's signature "M." Artwork for the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]] has consistently depicted Luigi as wearing red and white striped socks; this trait is not present in any other games.

[[Luigi's Cap]] is similar to [[Mario's Cap]], being green instead of red and having an "L" replace Mario's signature "M." The "L" was in italic from ''Mario Kart 64'' to ''Luigi's Mansion'' for a few years. Artwork for the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]] has consistently depicted Luigi as wearing red and white striped socks; this trait is not present in any other games.


Mario and Luigi's color preferences are reflected throughout the land in the form of various enemies, such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Cheep-Cheep]]s, who also come in red and green varieties. These foes even reflect the brothers' personalities, with red ones being more aggressive and green ones acting cautious. In fact, Mario and Luigi are not the only known red and green brothers, with similarly color-coded siblings including [[Cork and Cask]], the [[Red (Super Paper Mario)|Red]] and [[Green (Super Paper Mario)|Green]] bridge guards, the [[Armored Harriers]], Massif Bros., [[Elder Shrooboid | Elder]] & [[Junior Shrooboid]] and [[Jellyfish Sisters|Gigi]] and [[Jellyfish Sisters|Merri]]. When [[Tattle|tattling]] the younger of the Armored Harriers, [[Goombella]] theorizes that it may be some sort of rule that younger brothers must wear green, offering a possible explanation for Luigi's trademark green shirt and hat.
