Original or interpretive cosplay can be done casually or it can be done full out for contests and things (at conventions). Most of this type of cosplay comes from gender-bending, style-changing, or both. For this example, we are going to use the character Matt (from Death Note).
GENDER-BENDING
This would really just mean turning him into a girl. A way you could do that is by taking his black-and-white-striped shirt and turning it into a dress. Keep everything else pretty much the same (with the exception of turning his jeans into leggings or something) and then you are done.
(Note: I don't think that it should really be called this but it's what tons of people know it as.)
STYLE-CHANGING
This would be done by, for example, putting him in the 50s or making him emo. You'd change his style slightly to make him match general looks (just like making him a girl... but not).
BOTH
This would be like turning Matt into a girl and then making him lolita styled. With a cosplay like this, sometimes the suspension of beliefs will be pushed very far but I have seen it done well (so don't delete this idea from your head).
ALTERING
Another thing that you could do is, take something like Rei Ayanami's (Neon Genesis Evangelion) plug suit and turn it into a dress with almost or all of the same markings on it. (Just make it a dress instead of a full body plug suit.) This could probably go under style-changing but it's slightly different so I gave it this new section.
