Halloween is just around the corner. Before you know it, you will have to start thinking about costumes so better be prepared!
Shopping malls will be filled with hundreds of costumes that might confuse you as to what you really want to wear for trick-or-treating or for the numerous parties you will be attending.
You might also be toying with the idea of finally bagging the best in costume prize. However, have you considered if it would be more fun if you will be spooking and partying the night away with your whole family or with all of your friends?
Why not plan to wear costumes in groups having one theme ?
To help you out on this endeavor, here are some costume ideas for groups inspired by the unique clothing and accessories collections on Realm Collections and elsewhere:
Fellowship of the Ring – everyone can pick out their favorite character, whether they want to dress up as hobbits, elves or dwarves.
King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table, Robin Hood & his Merrymen, Peter Pan & the Lost Boys – these are popular groups that you might want to consider; medieval clothing and tights are the best way to go.
James & Younger Gang (Jesse & Frank James; Cole, Jim, John & Bob Younger; Clell Miller, Arthur McCoy, Charlie Pitts, John Jarrette and Bill Chadwell a.k.a. Bill Stiles), Texas Rangers – the Wild West will never lose its power to fascinate most people; cowboy hats, boots, jeans and badges should do the trick.
League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen (Allan Quatermain, Tom Sawyer, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker, Rodney Skinner, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Dorian Gray), Mystery, Inc. (Shaggy, Fred, Scooby-Do, Velma & Daphne) – wearing fictional costumes are always fun.
Other ideas include:
Harlem Globe Trotters or other sports team – you have several options on which sports team uniform you can wear.
CSI – whether you choose to be the gang from Las Vegas, Miami or New York, just don’t forget to wear overalls with “CSI” printed at the back, latex gloves, investigation kits and body bags (dead bodies optional).
