Sixty Five - Cool Halloween Costumes From The 50s Era

September 1st, 2010
by Susan West

Embrace the nostalgia this October with 1950s Halloween costumes for the whole family. Gather up all the greaser wigs for the boys, poodle skirts for the girls, and jump in your hot rod cars headed for a 50s inspired Halloween. Seriously, there may not be any hot rods, but you definitely could get outfitted in the attire of day. A whole family in 1950s Halloween costumes is sure to be a hit this Halloween.

Before you head out to the store looking for your set of feather wings, take some time to plan out the details of what could make this year’s angel Halloween costumes seem more unique than year’s past. What colors will you choose? Will your angel come directly out of the bible, or will it be something less serious and more playful?

Different cultures across the globe have various depictions of the angel. Because of this, it may be a good idea to start out by doing some research on the history of angels from across the world. This will help you in coming up with ideas of angel Halloween costumes that may fit your personality best. Also, doing a little research on the residents of heaven can also turn out to be very educational.

Ladies have similar options. There is the obligatory 1950s cutesy poodle skirt with a blouse and white socks. Consider making a matching purse or adding a ribbon to your hair to complete the look. If all that wholesome goodness is enough to make you ill, consider the alternative. Play the part of the bad girl instead with tight pants with your own Pink Ladies jacket.

The point is simple: angel Halloween costumes don’t have to be executed in the same old ways of the past. The golden halo doesn’t have to be golden, you can try a different color; heck, you could even replace the halo with a wreath of flowers if you wanted. Get creative, look around your local craft store for inexpensive alternatives. As for the wings, feather wings are the standard choice; but you can make your own wings (and they don’t have to be white).

So what if you think the 1950s were only about conforming; now is your chance to take the bland out of the decade. Jazz up your family’s costumes this Halloween. Add extra studs and gems to all the 1950s Halloween costumes for a more impressive display.

If you want to get a friend involved, why not play the part of polar opposites for the evening. One of you could be the ‘good’ angel wearing all white (including feather wings) with a golden halo sitting atop a curly wig; the other could play the part of the ‘fallen’ angel. Take the role playing a step further with your adult Halloween costumes by role playing at functions you attend together to make it even more fun!

So a lot of people may feel like the angel Halloween costumes are overdone. I say, this doesn’t have to be the case if the costume is infused with a little extra creativity. Add things that make the costume your own and people are sure to take notice. It doesn’t matter whether you like your angel Halloween costumes to be the nice version or the not so nice version; either way you can have fun designing it and making it your own.

by Susan West

When you were young, which costumes do you remember as the best Halloween costumes? There was always that one parent or one childhood friend who had the neatest, coolest, or craziest look that drew ooh’s and ahh’s from the holiday crowds. With a little bit of time and effort, you can sport a look to rival last year’s life of the party costume, and often for relatively little money. The best Halloween costumes are usually the most clever not the most expensive.

Are you going to buy an outfit off the store rack or will you be making your own? There are a myriad of options available whichever way you decide to go. If time is a factor then you may decide that the best Halloween costumes for you are in the store; but keep in mind, you can still add your own personal touches along the way to help yourself stand out.

Modification is one certain way of taking an average outfit for the holiday and turning it into one of the best Halloween costumes anybody has seen. Keep a stash of craft glue on hand just in case you have to make any adjustments and you’ll be fine.

How the outfit appears when worn is another consideration you’ll need to make. Whether you go out trick or treating doesn’t matter, anyplace you show up with a problematic costume can cause more drama than it’s worth. For this reason, it may be a wise choice to stay clear of huge costumes that may end up being annoying to you and those you’re around. The best Halloween costumes are the ones that are appropriate for the occasion, remember that!

The actual width and length of your costume may vary, so keep this in mind as you decide what to wear. If you only plan to trick or treat, and wear your costume outdoors, a larger or wider size may not matter as much. If you plan to mingle at Halloween parties, which may involve hanging out in someone’s home with confined floor space and 50 people around you, keep it small and slim.

Memorable doesn’t always mean large when it comes to the best Halloween costumes. Pulling off a Halloween look that is appealing usually doesn’t involve it also looking as if it is a chore to wear. Getting a mens costume (or womens costume) that requires a forklift to move around may not be a sound decision. No one wants to be around you when parts of your costume are always in their way.

The best Halloween costumes are the ones that illicit unique reactions. If you have made something truly special, prepare to get recognized! Everyone has an opinion, but costumes that are really good are the ones that get the most attention, and comments.

Great Halloween Costume Ideas For 2010

August 29th, 2010
by Rand Fortescue

With Halloween just round the corner, folks begin to think about celebrating the special night in a way that will stay with them until the next time the holiday rolls around. A way to make the night unforgettable is to dress in a unique costume. For adults this means making a big impression at the party or for kids to amaze or scare their mates when they go trick or treating. Subsequently with this in mind, here’s a few top Halloween costume ideas for 2010.

Most unforgettable Halloween costumes are in general topical and trendy. They’re regularly prompted by popular culture or some special or significant occurrence.

As an example , there are certain to be folks going to parties in BP overhauls with grease and oil over their clothes and face. Possibly they may possess a ruined monkey wrench as a prop to boot. Whilst this is probably not in the best taste, given the huge environmental plus financial damage that has been precipitated on account of the oil spewing into the ocean, I would say a party is about being somewhat risque or tawdry. It gets folks in the mood and allows them to get rid of their inhibitions - which are generally the hallmark of a good bash (and probably quite therapeutic too).

Other top Halloween ideas for 2010 may be inspired by popular culture, notably films that have just come out or classic movies that have fixed in the public consciousness over the years.

In terms of current films, you cannot go past Avatar, Ironman 2 and Clash of the Titans.

The avatar outfits are exceptionally distinctive, given that you’ll be dressing as an alien being. The aquamarine blue color of the skin will probably be an immediate give away about who you are. You can almost certainly do this by using skin friendly paint or better still purchase an Avatar outfit. The costume will contain a mask to make you look just right.

An additional film which has spawned one or two costume ideas this year is “The Clash of the Titans”. This tale is based on Olden Greek myths - legendary heroes, hideous creatures and all commanding Gods. And folks go for this type of thing.

The outfits stimulated by the motion picture take in Medusa the snake headed being. The being is frequently portrayed as an attractive looking woman in prevailing interpretations. It’s the right mixture of looking elegant but in addition vaguely scary.

Other costumes stimulated by Greek legends take in gods and goddesses like Zeus, Aphrodite, Hades, Poseidon and Athena. You can also get Greek heroes. The key hero in clash of the Titans is Perseus. From the new film he has quite a current appearance (as played by Sam Worthington) nevertheless that does not suggest you must go like that.

Most ancient Greek costumes include a tunic or toga - more often than not white. You can add trimmings like arm and leg gauntlets, even an armored breastplate. You could also obtain a helmet if you are a hero or even a crown or elaborate headpiece if you’re a god or supernatural being.
