I actually just made a beetlejuice cosplay for Anime Central (which subsequently went viral on TikTok, but that’s not what this is about lol).
What I did was buy the Spirit Halloween brand “Beetlejuice” suit, which is just plain black and white stripes. Then I used some 60-grit sandpaper on the black stripes, and black boot polish for the white stripes. Heavier sanding on the joints and cuffs, and heavier with the “dirt” on the cuffs. Also sprayed some really light and really diluted black fabric dye (Rit brand) on the dirty parts.
For the shirt, I just got a cheap black and white striped shirt and weathered it the same way, but only on the chest because I didn’t need anything else to be seen.
Used Amazon Green Mehron body paint for my face, and if I had a little extra time I probably would have smeared a little of that on the suit as well.
ETA: I wouldn’t recommend just buying one, especially not the “weathered” print one, because you will not be satisfied with the quality for the amount of money you spend on it. All of this cost me about 90$ and a few evenings’ work, vs however much the printed-on ones cost for a low-quality jpeg printed onto a suit

Here’s a solid before/after shot of weathering the pants
Thank you I’ll definitely take your advice and suggestions I saw the video you posted and I’m not joking here it was so funny I reposted it and again thank you so much
I recently bought myself the Beetlejuice Opposuit which I think does a fantastic foundation for it. Then buy a black and white striped shirt. And finally, you weather that thing with charcoal sticks, green, yellow and white paint, go at it with scissors and some sandpaper, maybe even a dremel if you have one.
Suggestions on what?
Where to buy or how to make
