Classic Halloween Costumes Ideas

Family Classic Costumes

If you want to buy top quality Halloween costumes, then it’s a wise move to go with the classics that will stay popular year in and year out regardless of the latest trends and fashions. Good Halloween costumes can be brought out every year and become part of your family traditions that are as much a part of the celebrations as pumpkin lanterns and candy apples.

There’s a number of themes for Halloween costumes that are always winners and are bound to be popular with kids and adults alike and can be used for other fancy dress parties and events even when it’s not Halloween, such as the school drama or the ballet recital, or even as a costume if you’re into amateur theatricals.

Fairies: Fairy outfits with their sparkly skirts, wings and wands are always cute on little girls. However, many women have a secret fondness for fairy outfits and indulge themselves once a year at the Halloween party. Yes, you can get fairy outfits for grown up women (and men with a sense of humor) in a range of sizes.

Vampires: As well as being classic costumes, vampire Halloween costumes are hot thanks to the Twilight series. You can’t beat a long swirling black cloak for sheer drama, especially combined with Edwardian (referring to the period in history, not the Twilight character) waistcoats for the guys or a low-cut gown for the ladies. Don’t forget a velvet choker at the neck to cover up those bite marks...

Monsters: Create your own monster from the depths of your imagination plus some inspiration, or go for the classic Frankenstein or Quasimodo.

Skeletons: Go for an outfit with “dem bones” in the right places on the shirt and pants, plus a skull mask or face paint. Glow-in-the-dark skeleton outfits look great down the street or in a room when the lights are low.

Witch and Wizard: Go for the classic spiderwebs for witches and moon-and-star outfits to make traditional Halloween costumes, or put a modern twist on witches and wizards with Harry Potter accessories such as the glasses, a Hogwarts tie or blazer, or Hermione’s school dress.

Princesses: More Halloween costumes that are popular with little girls and grown up girls. A crown is a must-have accessory for all princesses, along with the royal robes.

Animals: If you’re shy, then animal Halloween costumes are the best for you because nobody’s going to know who you are when you’re wearing an all-over gorilla or bear costume. However, you don’t have to be shy to wear an animal costume – maybe an animal costume will give you the chance to unleash the beast within.

Native American: A good choice for those who like non-scary Halloween costumes.

Scarecrow: Scarecrows tend to be good choices for guys and girls who want something comfortable, fun and non-scary.
