How does the National Retail Federation come up with their list of popular Halloween Costumes a month before Halloween happens? They take into consideration what is popular at the movies, on TV, in Music and world news. They always throw in a few of the perennial favorites that have been around for years - Princesses, Vampires, Witches, Fairies and Disney Characters.
Older kids and teen costumes tend to be scary Halloween costumes. Anything from cutesy stuff all the way to the bloodsuckers and zombies. The popular costumes usually feature black or darkness and range from vampires and witches to fallen angels and demons. Skulls are also common among Gothic fashion.
Baby Costumes are most often sweet and cute. Popular choices are Disney Characters and Animals. TV, Movies and Cartoons tend to influence the choices of young children. Their costumes range from Princesses/Fairies to Pirate/Star Wars/Power Rangers.
Adults tend to choose their costumes from their fantasies or what they see at the Movies. Some popular adult costumes are Sexy Nurse, French Maid, Seductive Vampire, Batman, or Robin Hood.
If you make your own costume you don't need sewing skills. It is helpful if you do, but it isn't necessary. Creativity is more essential. If you aren't creative, do research on the web to get ideas. Check out your closet, attic and basement for items to use as part of your costume.
If your children are going out in the neighborhood for trick-or-treating be sure that they are safe. Attach some reflective material to their costume and give them a loot bag that is reflective as well. If they are wearing a mask, ensure they can see properly with it on. As well, reinforce with them to wait until they return home before they eat their candy.
Dressing up our pet dog or cat is something fun that we like to do. Whether your pet goes with you as you trick or treat or it stays at home to greet the trick-or-treaters, they should be allowed to participate in the festivities. Halloween is meant to be a fun day for everyone.
How will you decide what costume to wear this year? Do some research online. If the costume is not for you, you will need to solicit ideas from the wearer. If you decide to purchase your costume, shop for the best deal. Some costumes include accessories and some don't. Be sure to read the descriptions of what is included. Purchase early so that you aren't disappointed and have to start the process all over again.
