Unique Viking Costumes Ideas For Halloween
People are always looking for new costume ideas each time that Halloween rolls around. I guess variety is the spice of life and what better way to have a spicy Halloween party than come in a truly unique costume. One such unique idea is the Viking costume.
Vikings stand out from many of the other peoples of that time because they traveled and colonized large parts of Europe and places like Iceland and Greenland. There are even theories that they may have settled on the North American continent. Often they would use force to colonize new lands, such as Britain and Ireland.

Consequently they were perceived as warrior like and fierce. But they also had a complex society and elaborate spiritual component to their lives. For instance, many of the legends and creatures that inhabit the Lord of the Rings books, like Elves, Dwarfs and Trolls take their cue from Norse mythology. Gandalf is uncannily similar to pictorial representations of Odin, the king of Norse gods. They had many gods and complex theology.
Viking fancy dress is a really fun and original way to dress up for the upcoming Halloween party. Just as those viking raiding parties got the locals attention all those years ago, so will you if you turn up to the party in one of these awesome Nordic outfits.
Viking Halloween costumes come in many different forms, so much so that there are now even specialist viking fancy dress websites online that you can go to in order to find an outfit that is just right for you.
Nordic Viking Costume
$54.99 (Retail $59.99)
Adult Viking Costume ,comes with tunic w/detached faux fur collar, helmet, faux fur cuffs, & vinyl wrist guards.
But don't make the mistake of thinking that this costume is just exclusively available for guys because there are a lot of Viking costumes that would look just as great on any other woman. Women could wear the same look that guys wear or they could go for a sexier Viking look by wearing dresses and skirts that could make any guy fall on their feet.
More elaborate Viking costumes will have a few more elements, such as arm and leg guards. Maybe even a shield. You might also have a cape. The elaborate costume is a decent approximation of the authentic Viking costume (although many people dispute that Vikings ever wore cow horn helmets) but in terms of Halloween there are other things to consider.
Other popular Viking style costumes, include the Men's Viking Costume and the Nordic Viking Deluxe Costume. Both of these costumes, have their own individual designs. They provide an alternative spin on the traditional costumes made popular by this era. Any costume you choose, will provide the appearance you want to achieve through your Viking theme.
