What are the most popular costumes for dressing up in fancy dress year round?
If you want to buy a Halloween costume that will serve other purposes year round then you might consider the most popular 10 costumes from one of the bigger costume suppliers on the right.
Halloween parties and dressing up for trick or treating used to be limited to witches, ghosts, vampires and other assorted zombies and ghouls. These days the socially acceptable themes for costumes extend much further - in fact, anything goes! You don't need to feel restricted.
So why not be practical and economical for these recessionary times, and choose a costume you can use several times through the year?
Does it really matter if you show up at a Halloween party as the Easter Bunny, or as Uncle Sam?
You will see on the right there is the inevitable Santa Claus costume, usually the most popular costume at Christmas time. Variations of the Santa suit for children, and angels costumes, are also popular at Christmas.
From Easter there is the Easter Bunny costume. Apart from eggs and chickens, there isn't a lot else to choose from at Easter, I guess - unless you head off down the religious costume path, which is another option at Easter but perhaps not at Halloween.
Uncle Sam features, and is a year round favorite, especially around July 4 Independence Day celebrations.
For the ladies, acting out the Statue of Liberty is a similar theme to follow.
The Irish get a look in from Saint Patrick's Day celebrations, with a Lucky Charm outfit in green.
Thanksgiving follows not long after Halloween, and a Pilgrim or Colonial costume may serve both events.
Have you ever considered dressing up the whole family as Pilgrims or Colonials when celebrating Thanksgiving Dinner? That can be a fun idea, and educational for the family too.
The Mardi Gras theme is ever popular as a costume theme, and as an excuse for a costume party year round, not just at Mardi Gras time.
So what will it be?
A new costume especially for Halloween, or save by buying a costume that could be worn to several costume parties or events through the year?
