Will you be Saint or Sinner this Halloween?
Do you still think that wearing fancy dress costumes at Halloween is something to be enjoyed only children and the young? If you do; then read on and let us attempt to convince you that adults can get in on the fun as well. And if you already enjoy the fun of the day stay with us and we'll look at some tips so that you can get the best out of your own Halloween fancy dress costume.
Firstly, if you already have a Halloween costume party to attend, check with the host to see if there is a suggested theme. Although it will be Halloween and there is an almost endless choice of costumes for you to select from, it maybe that your party host has identified a more specific costume theme. It maybe that Halloween Movies is the theme in which case you will need to develop a costume based on a Halloween movie, something like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Friday the Thirteenth. There will be plenty of costumes to select from, but be sure that it is a fully licensed version if it's a trademarked character.
Assuming that you have an idea of the costume that you are going to get you, and if you have a partner you can find complimentary costumes, here are some useful tips for your Halloween costumes:
Top Halloween Costume Tips
1) Select something appropriate and avoid that Bridget Jones moment of turning up wearing something inappropriate.Remember that sexy little costume that works so well at home may cause you more than a little embarrassment if little Johnny is still up and about during the party, again it's always worth checking with the host as to what age groups are expected. Similarly, some of the scary costumes recently introduced can be just that and although an element of shock should be expected at Halloween, we're sure that you wouldn't really want to cause weeks of nightmares, would you?
2) Make sure that your costume is comfortable. Try your costume on and make any little adjustments required in before you get ready for the party. This trial run will also let you work out what accessories your costume comes with and will allow you time to get the rest. Remember, a comfortable Halloween costume will let you party on past the witching hour of midnight.
3) At the risk of repeating ourselves, accessorise, accessorise, accessorise. Your Halloween costume is just like any other outfit you choose to wear. It's all about the accessories that you choose. For example, if you are going to dress up as a sexy witch don't just stop at the costume, consider wearing a short lace petticoat which will give the skirt some extra flounce' and add some Halloween inspired spider jewellery and finish off with a themed handbag (this will be extremely useful).
And if you are now getting into the spirit (unintentional pun honest) of the event, why not finish of with a pair of gloves - the longer the sexier, plus some fishnet or patterned hosiery completed with a pair of witches shoes or boots. If you don't want to invest in themed shoes or boots, you can easily add some shoe buckles which are easily fitted and are available in a huge selection of styles.
4) Select a colourful or themed Halloween Wig. Costumes wigs are a fantastic addition to your fancy dress wardrobe and will really add to the overall effect of your costume. Costume wigs allow you to truly become your alter-ego for the night, and who knows for time beyond.
5) If the party is themed to only Halloween in general and you're at a loss for a costume idea, why not write yourself a short list of costume ideas which appeal to you? For example your list could include pop or rock star, pirates, Wild West, doctors and nurses, movie star etc. From this list you should be able to find a costume that you really want rather than simply buying the first costume you come across.
6) You and your partner could select a couples' costume. Again unless there is a specific theme, let your imagination go wild but only after you've discussed it with your partner. Again a shortlist of ideas helps to narrow it down. Your list could include; Playboy and Bunny, Pimp and Ho, cop and robber, Cleopatra and roman emperor, pharaoh and Egyptian queen, doctors and nurses. The list goes on but you should only include costume themes that you will both be comfortable with.
So whether you're a die-hard fancy dress aficionado or this will be the first Halloween that you will be considering wearing a fancy dress costume, we hop that we have given you some ideas.
