Article by Kirsty Philips

During Halloween both women and men are able to dress up as anyone they wish. However, during the past 10 years or so, increasingly more women and men are demanding completely unique and original Halloween fancy dress costumes, as opposed to the more conventional ones. The typical devils, witches and ghosts are now being replaced by the most recent Lady Gaga video costumes or Harry Potter costumes. It is the second largest holiday of the year, so people want to go all out. For many of us we turn all of our attention to organizing parties, buying spooky decorations and then finding ourselves the right outfit for the night. As Halloween draws near, the search for an extraordinary costume can get extremely stressful You need not worry anymore, below we have listed a variety of ideas that perfectly fit with the current time and should be considered before eventually getting your outfit for the night.

Halloween Costumes For Men – Men have plenty of great Halloween fancy dress to choose from, thanks to the many Fright Night monsters that exist. Popular options include Michael Myers, Jason from ‘Friday the 13th’, the ‘Scream’ mask, Leatherface, Jigsaw from ‘Saw’ and also the Ghostbusters or Michael Jackson‘s Thriller outfit. New outfits are based on characters from blockbuster movies including Conan the Barbarian, the Green Lantern, Voldemort, Dumbledore,Thor, Loki in addition to Captain America and the Red Skull. All these offer fresh alternatives to the tired old grim reaper and Uncle Fester outfits. If you truly want something unique you can go out as a Transformer!

Women’s Halloween Costumes – This year has been great to you ladies, thanks to lots of gorgeous women that have reinvented the music industry’s definition of a performer. Katy Perry, Rihanna as well as new queen of pop Lady Gaga have all contributed a cauldron full of clothing designs perfect for Halloween fancy dress. The recently deceased Amy Winehouse could also be a source of ideas, with her recognisable beehive, tattoos and heavy eyeliner. The most recent contributions from Hollywood movies include characters like Amy Peterson in Fright Night, Colombiana’s Cataleya, Mystique from X-Men: First Class, Bellatrix LeStrange from Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part 2 as well as Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood. With a bit of effort, commitment as well as an eye for detail, you’ll be able to imitate these amazing heroines and make an impact on your guests.

Kid‘s Halloween Costumes – One of the most important movies released in 2011 was the final chapter in the Harry Potter series and for this reason now is the right time for kids to dress up as one of the famous magicians: Harry, Ron or Hermione. For bigger groups there are numerous other Harry Potter characters to choose from, like Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood as well as Ginny Weasley. Adults have been dressing up as the Smurfs for many years, but now kids are also picking up the blue fever,which makes it an excellent option for Halloween fancy dress. With the release of Walt Disney’s fiftieth animated feature ‘Tangled’, kids will enjoy dressing up as the beautiful long-haired Rapunzel or the dashing Flynn Rider.

Should I make or purchase Halloween fancy dress?

Half the fun of the spooky October holiday is spending the time to make a one of a kind outfit that encapsulates you as an individual or enables you to pretend to be your favorite icon. The majority of the creative members in society that participate get the recognition they rightly deserve at major events when they show up in their most recent creation, which is often a concoction of smooth materials, glittering sequins and inventive accessories. For people who don’t feel confident enough to create their own costume, buying one online can save lots of stress and embarrassment.

Halloween costumes are about being creative and having a good time, which makes them the most fun costumes out there. However big or small your age, or your size, there’s a costume out there with your name on it. They’re the biggest element of the holiday because people enjoy the opportunity to get dressed up in something that they would never normally wear.

But of course, Halloween night would not truly be Halloween night without some terrifying Halloween costumes. Zombies, Grim Reapers, and monsters are classic creepy choices. For those grown-ups who value education, there are historical scary Halloween costumes or simply plain and simple some examples such as extravagant Marie Antoinette dresses, sharp colonial George Washington suits, seductive Cleopatra gowns, or honest Abe Lincoln ensembles. Whatever costume you end up with, don’t forget that sometimes it’s an accessory that will pull your entire outfit together and separate it from everyone else’s. Hats, wigs, swords, belts, capes, boots, scarves, and accessories will all take your Halloween costume to a whole new level.

One such company offering scary Halloween fancy dress costumes and accessories is http://www.novelties4parties.co.uk/department/Scary-Halloween-Party/ who have developed their business in supplying scary Halloween costumes and accessories to the UK consumer market.

Homemade costumes are great because they are truly one-of-a-kind, they’re as much fun to make as they are to wear, and they’ll perfectly express your unique personality. Lots people decide to use homemade costumes to save cash, but then they proceed to go out and buy all their materials, rather than using things that are lying around their house. As a result, after all the materials are bought, some home-stitched costumes end up costing even more than the store-bought ones. Don’t make that mistake.

Halloween, as we know it, originated from the pagan Celtic holiday of Samhain (the eve of All Saints Day). The day allows anyone to step outside of their normal (boring?) self and be someone or something entirely different for the evening. Usually restrained people let loose and get spooky, wild, or wicked without fear of peer judgment. That’s why it’s a favourite holiday of so many: they love the merriment, amusement, and creativity, as well as the chance to publicly show off their alter egos.

The Themes and Varieties of Sexy Costumes


Sexy Costumes are growing in popularity for a number for a number of reasons and one of those reasons is that there are now so many different themes of sexy costumes available. Not only that, but the variations within the costume themes themselves provide increased variety. For example, if you want to dress as a sexy devil, there are not just one or two sexy devil costumes available online or in bricks and mortar stores, but if you look around, there are hundreds!


Some years ago, costumes, sexy or otherwise, were quite sparse with one or two of a theme to choose from. That is no longer the case and, as the industry develops, more and more costumes will be available.


Costumes used to be very cheap looking, something that could be thrown together in an hour or so at home by a poor machinist. Those are still available if you want them, but most people now appreciate the attention to detail, and overall quality that you can buy online these last few years.


So let’s consider a few themes of sexy costumes in a little detail.


Pirate Costumes.


The popularity of pirate style costumes has grown probably more than any other theme. I would suggest that that is at least in part due to the successful film series “Pirates of the Caribbean” staring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Interestingly he claimed to have based his depiction of a pirate on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and even managed to persuade the guitarist to take a small role in one of the later films. It has been suggested that Mr Richards didn’t need much help with his pirate outfit or his make up!


Pirates were usually men in history, but that’s not important when it comes to dressing up. That are plenty of costumes for would-be lady pirates and what a great theme it is to express yourself within. Ladies can add all sorts of accessories here and turn a basic pirate costume idea into something completely original. It may even be possible to create a design without buying anything but by piecing together articles from different outfits the lady already owns.


Sexy Nurse Costumes.


Usually a popular costume idea with the guys. Possibly something maternal, or caring for the man’s needs is involved in the psychology but we needn’t delve too much into mycology here. It’s enough to say that the nurse idea is sexy, fun and popular. Degrees of sexyness may vary, as with all costumes, but the costume theme is sexy by nature.


A more exposing costume may be more appropriate for home role play fun or gently teasing and nursing a “man flu victim” to better health. A slightly less revealing nurse costume may suit a girly party night or charity fund raising event.


Sexy Cop Costumes and Outfits.


This is another theme the guys like. There may be some dominance/submissive psychology going on with this one but either way if a guy is going to be arrested, he would prefer a sexy lady cop to give him a good frisking and slap the handcuffs on than another man taking away his freedom any day of the week. “Are you going to come quietly sir?”


French Maid Costumes.


Variable in the amount of cleavage the lady cares to show and the length of the skirt too, but the skirt should always be short enough to show some hosiery. A romantic and enticing costume as is the French reputation, but also naughty as it may suggest something which should technically be out of reach. The maid is there to tidy the rooms not romance the inhabitants. At home less housework may be accomplished than was never intended anyway.


Halloween Costumes.


Not necessarily sexy at all but included here because they can be, and that is more apparent these last few years. By nature, Halloween is a scary time of the year when the witches and the “undead” may make an appearance but modern society has increased the fun element of the event by making it more sexy than scary, in respect of costumes anyway. We have all kinds of sexy devils, vampires and witches available to buy these days if we search around the Internet. More so, perhaps, than scary equivalent costumes.


Sexy Sporty Costumes.


Ladies are known for complaining that their man takes too much interest in sport and not enough in her. Here she can get double the attention as some sporty costumes are quite sexy but are designed very accurately to the particular sport. Be it a football, soccer, baseball or general cheerleader costume that is chosen. But it is also a fun costume idea for a girls‘ night out and worthy of note here are the sexy cheerleader costumes which are always popular for birthday celebrations or pre-wedding hen nights.


If you can think of an idea for a sexy costume, there is probably something already available that is similar. So use your imagination, enter the words, including costume, into a search engine and see what comes back! Also bare in mind you usually get what you pay for with sexy costumes.

Tidders is the MD of Femme Fatale Online Ltd specialising in the online sale of erotic and sexy lingerie including sexy leather lingerie, clothes and sexy costumes.

Though fancy dress halloween costume design is a matter of personal preference there are some that Continue to be hugely popular every year. Here are the hottest designs that have beaten the test of time.

Whether it’s the Joker due to a latest Batman film or the latest TV show, superheroes and the villains they conquer are always near the apex of any list.
