Halloween Fancy Dress Costume Ideas
Here are some of our top ideas for Halloween Fancy Dress Costumes and co-ordinates for this Halloween.
First decide what sort of event you are going to:
- Kids Parties - leading kids events.
- This could be mums & dads at their kids party, teachers or kids event organizers. Don't just slope around in old jeans and make lame excuses about how busy you were! You'll need something practical, exciting for kids but presentable for parents and one that matches the age group though. Witches and wizards are best here - use the jewelry props and brooms, but with younger kids steer clear of scary makeup if you don't want inconsolable little ones afraid of you all evening.
- Planning by yourself.
- Going to a party in someones home or flat or a costume event at a club or venue? Something exciting and well accessorized that matches the inner you - anything from a werewolf to a sexy witch could do. Make sure your do the detail well too - make up, jewelry, boots, gloves - make a real impact. Cover up with a cape on the way and "unveil" as you enter!
- As a couple.
- Again whether its a a party in someones home or flat or going out to a costume event at a club or venue make sure that you have a great matching theme. Witch and wizard themes or vampire and vampiress themes are particularly good and you can match in style and pull the look together with matching colour schemes for makeup. This also works for matching families!
- In a group of friends planning together.
- Going out to a costume event at a club or venue - all going in the same outfits is great fun. A row of Grim Reapers, Screamers or Werewolves is a great laugh.
- A party in someones home or flat you may want a bit more individuality so have about a group that makes a story together but each part works by itself?
- As an event or venue organizer or staff - go for a structured group -
- say the pub landlord goes for the Vampire count look while the bar staff are a range of undead from the crypt -
- or maybe Satan himself and a court of minor devils in attendance.
Check What you need:
- Costumes (these sell out quickly around Halloween in the UK - order early).
- Makeup (men and women) - pale face paint - black or red (vamp) lipstick - eye makeup (think Jack Sparrow).
- Props - blood capsules, fangs, nails, tridents, scythes
- Jewery and trimmings - belts, crosses etc
