Halloween is an ancient Celtic festival celebrated on the night of the transition from October to November. According to ancient belief, at this time evil forces leave their underground chambers and roam the surface of the earth. Therefore, it became customary to dress up as various monsters on this night in order to deceive the evil spirits and prevent them from taking over the human soul. Over time, this custom grew into a fun celebration. And every person tries to come up with the most original outfit.
Halloween Costume Ideas
Since the holiday came to us from Western culture, traditional images were taken from American mystical stories. Many are based on traditional horror movie characters: witches, vampires, zombies and other monsters. But the Russian people also added several of their favorite villains: Koshchei the Immortal, Zmey Gorynych, Baba Yaga and Kikimora. The devil's outfit looks very fun and remarkable.The list of ideas for interesting clothing for this holiday can be endless, but we suggest considering several options that you can make with your own hands.
Women's suits
We invite lovely ladies to choose a witch outfit for this night. To implement it you will need:
- Black dress. Any option will do: from a mini that excites the male imagination, to a floor-length hem;
- Black pointed hat. You can make it from cardboard;
- A broom (sold in the store) or you can make it yourself from a stick and a bunch of branches.
To enhance the gloomy effect, apply appropriate dark makeup. It is advisable to tint your lips with black or dark lipstick. Whiten the face and draw circles under the eyes. This appearance can be combined with the appearance of a zombie.
Another wonderful and quickly created outfit is the appearance of the devil. To create it, follow these steps:
- Take a bright red jumpsuit or dress;
- Sew a tail with an arrow at the end on the lower back of the clothing, made in advance;
- Apply red make-up to your face;
- Decorate your loose hair with a headband with flirty small horns;
- For an accessory, build a small trident; you can use a large two-pronged meat fork.
Another simple and commonly used variation is nurse.
For him, it is enough to take a medical gown and stain it with artificial blood (splashes, drips or prints). To create imitation blood, mix syrup with red dye. You can complement the outfit with medical instruments, a cap and stockings.
Men's suits
For men, there are also quite a few interesting outfits that can be put together without much effort.
First, let's look at the mummy's outfit.To create it you will need:
- White suit (can be used medical);
- Wide bandages;
- Makeup.
Over your clothes, you wrap the entire figure with chaotic turns of bandages, leaving several open areas on the face. Attach several ribbons in such a way that they hang randomly. Whiten open areas of the face with makeup. Draw dark circles under the eyes.
For fans of scary costumes, you can recreate the look of a maniac.
To do this, just put on a torn shirt or sweater stained with bloody stains over your clothes. You can complete the look with tousled hair, pale makeup and a huge cleaver. You can also sew an imitation shirt yourself. You can use burlap or gauze for this.
Couple suits
For people going to the celebration together, you can use paired costumes. They can look like two identical costumes: crazy doctors, a couple of vampires or newlywed corpses. Or be independent characters that are connected to each other.
For spouses, we offer an Addams Family style option.
In this duet, the woman wears a dark floor-length dress, a black stole over her shoulders, and a brunette wig with straight, long hair on her head. The face needs to be whitened.
The man should put on a striped suit (you can sew light stripes onto an existing dark outfit) and glue on a thin mustache.
Another fashionable and spectacular costume will be made from the Suicide Squad characters Harley and Joker.
There are many more interesting variations when complementary decor is sewn or hung onto ordinary clothes: a socket and a plug; fork and spoon; lock and key; flash drive and USB connector.
Also, as an option, you can use makeup divided into two.
Regardless of whether you choose our offer or use your own imagination, happy Halloween to you!
