I’m sure you have seen your share of angel Halloween costumes over the years. What you don’t see is the look of heaven brought to a Halloween costume done in a very unique way. Most angel Halloween costumes these days are regurgitated versions of costumes we’ve seen one too many Halloweens. Why not take your golden halo to another level this year with an updated version of the angel costume?
Before you head out to the store looking for your set of feather wings, take some time to plan out the details of what could make this year’s angel Halloween costumes seem more unique than year’s past. What colors will you choose? Will your angel come directly out of the bible, or will it be something less serious and more playful? http://www.costumecauldron.com/Kids-50s-Poodleskirt-Costumes.html
Get those men together, throw a leather jacket over a white t-shirt and watch them show off their best John Travolta from “Grease” impersonation. You can even go all the way to the other side with it and dress the guys in pocket protectors and bowties. This ‘nerd’ look is just as much a representation of 1950s Halloween Costumes as those that are ‘cool’.
Ladies have similar options. There is the obligatory 1950s cutesy poodle skirt with a blouse and white socks. Consider making a matching purse or adding a ribbon to your hair to complete the look. If all that wholesome goodness is enough to make you ill, consider the alternative. Play the part of the bad girl instead with tight pants with your own Pink Ladies jacket.
Children can get in on the nostalgic fun of 50s Halloween costumes as well. Little girls can sport poodle skirts. For an extra dose of the sickeningly cute, mother, daughter and sister can wear identical skirts. Little boys could choose a pair of thick, fake nerd glasses or could go for the greaser look as well. There really is nothing that makes people smile more than a miniature Fonz. Eyyy!
To some, 1950s was all about conforming. That does not mean your costume has to be boring and bland. Use your favorite color or add embellishments to your poodle skirt. A cute leash or a few fabric-glued gems can create a dazzling effect.
If you want to get a friend involved, why not play the part of polar opposites for the evening. One of you could be the ‘good’ angel wearing all white (including feather wings) with a golden halo sitting atop a curly wig; the other could play the part of the ‘fallen’ angel. Take the role playing a step further with your adult Halloween costumes by role playing at functions you attend together to make it even more fun! http://www.costumecauldron.com
1950s Halloween costumes can be fun, and easy to make. Keep it as simple as you want to, or as elaborate as you like, complete with slang from the times. The best part is that this costume style is usually easily recognizable and comfortable to wear. There are a variety of styles to choose, ranging from the super nerdy to the ultra cool. Enjoy the nostalgia and appeal of this long gone decade with personalized 1950s Halloween costumes for the whole family! Edited by Hetsil Protage
