Ninety Six - Halloween Costumes: Trick Or Treat Party Fun For Kids Once A Year

By Samuel Adam


Halloween is one time of the year we get to be something different. Forget the norm and try something bizarre, terrifying, or exotic! This is the one holiday that should be nothing but pure fun! Children and adults alike prepare for grotesque quantities of goodies, Halloween costumes, and clever tricks. Only a single day long, it can be easy to put off your holiday planning until the last minute. This can cause major problems when you run to the store, searching picked over Halloween costumes. Remember, if you choose the wrong Halloween costume, you may find your dark holiday turns into a terrifying event.

There's only one time of year that men and women alike can wear something outrageous, skimpy, and scary without being talked about or looking crazy. Do your best to select a Halloween costume you'll love wearing this year. This is the time to let your personality shine through. You can play dress up as if you were still a kid. Become your favorite celebrity for the day. This is the day, take off those street clothes and become something different, let your alter ego out if you want!

Before you commit to a certain costume, consider where you plan to wear your new one night only persona. Certain costumes may not be appropriate for certain situations. For example, do you plan to wear that terribly revealing belly dancer outfit to the office? You would be better off to forgo the exotic performer for something more conservative.

Halloween costumes don't have to show a lot of skin to be revealing either. If there is something that you really want to wear that you don't think will be inappropriate consider adding something to make it appear less so. This way you can have the best of both worlds. Halloween is for fun, but you still want to have something that works for where you are.

You'll find that many Halloween costumes speak a language of their own. Take a moment to consider what message you may be sending with your outfit. Thinking about this will help you in choosing a costume that fits the occasion. There will be certain costumes you may not want to wear around children. Older guests will also be more easily influenced by certain outfits. So while you want to have fun playing dress up this Halloween, remember to remain proper where possible.

Some Halloween costumes are positively immoveable. Sure, it looks amazing, that elaborate recreation of the Death Star from Star Wars. The one that encompasses you from neck to knees. However, are you going to be able to safely maneuver your fully operational battle station as you go for another glass of spiked punch? Rather than risk a spill, choose something less immense. A compromise to consider would be designing an outfit that folds down, or that you can remove and stow the cumbersome pieces after the ooh's and ahh's have quieted from your triumphant entrance.

The durability of your Halloween costume can make or break your frustration levels. If the hair piece keeps sliding down your head into your face, or pieces keep popping off at the worst times, say when you're trying to chat up that cousin of your friend you have had your eye on, you may regret your outfit decisions. Always perform a test run at home.

Wearing Halloween costumes that are interesting make for interesting conversations at parties. With just a little bit of effort you can make a huge difference. And while some outfits are seen perennially, other new one's are born each year. Make you self stand out, be the one that is remembered next year for what you wore last year. You don't want to end up as an overdone version of the French Maid or a bad impersonation of Cher - especially if you're a guy!

Halloween is supposed to be a fun time, where you can cut loose and dress in any Halloween costumes you want! So take full advantage of this once a year opportunity. Adding a little thought and effort to your Halloween costumes can transform you from the mundane into the life of the party! Poor planning could cause you to wind up in a very awkward social situation. Edited by Svetchey Sanorols
