Every year halloween costume shops add new designs to their inventory just in time for Halloween and this season is no different. Consumers have numerous choices when shopping for a Halloween costume in 2011.
A Pirates of the Caribbean halloween costume
Captain Jack Sparrow is a popular character first introduced in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series in 2003. The fourth installment released this year introduced two new pirate characters that are sure to make the list of hot costumes this season.
Blackbeard wears the standard pirate uniform in all dark colors. He has a long pirate coat in heavy gray fabric with black leather lapels and cuffs. Black pants cropped at the knees are worn with high black boots with the tops folded down. His black shirt has a cascade of ruffles down the front. A full black beard, a black tricorn hat and a hook in place of one hand complete this look.
Angelica is Blackbeard’s sexy daughter. Her pirate costume features tight black leggings tucked into high heel black boots. Her white peasant blouse is pulled part way down the shoulder and worn underneath a black corset. She wears a long quilted jacket with tails and a black hat with a brim and a feather for decoration.
An Angry Birds halloween costume
Video games offer inspiration for a halloween costume and this year the Angry Birds are getting all the attention. A line of foam costumes licensed by the title’s developers, Rovio Mobile, feature various colored birds including the red and black characters from the game. The costumes cover the head and body with a cut out for the face to stick through and holes to accommodate the arms and legs. The King Pig costume shares a similar construction in bright green foam and features a crown.
Additional halloween costume ideas for this season include Thor, Conan the Barbarian, Lady Gaga and the characters from the television series Glee. With so many new designs out this year, the most difficult task will be choosing a favorite halloween costume.
