Halloween Costumes – This Years Trends, Starting Early

Everyone wants to look good on halloween, because after all – Halloween is the time that everyone can dress up, look good and be someone that they might not be able to be during the rest of the year. So of course it’s only normal that you would want to start shopping early for your Halloween costume, in order to find the most original halloween costume.

So in order to find the most original and breath taking wacky halloween costume, you need to know what the halloween costume trends are going to be for the upcoming halloween season. Have no fear (unless you’re trick or treating alone or going to a party alone, scary!) because you have right here the predictions for this year’s coolest and most sought-after halloween costumes:

-Batman costumes: Batman has always been a big hit with kids, but this year because of the Batman Begins movie, we’re going to see tons more Bat-men all over the parties and the streets on halloween. Don’t be afraid to dress up as a Batman or a Katie Holmes, because you’re going to fit right in. But if you want to stand out in the line-up on batman wanna-bes, go for something like a Robin costume, or even better go ahead of the times in anticipation for Joss Whedon’s upcoming Wonder Woman movie. (Oh, and if you’re a girl, you can dress up as a bat-girl and a female Robin, there’s nothing wrong with that!)

-Pirates! Pirates everywhere, arrg! With Pirates of the Caribbean there will be tons of mascara eyed pirates with wigs walking around. But if you want to stand out of the crowd, you could dress up as Kiera Knightley and be the damsel in distress. Of course pirates are cool, and with the choice between Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, you’re sure to find your match or be forced to walk the plank! Enjoy the fact that you can be anything you want for halloween and dress up as Captain Barbosa or any of the crew of the Black Pearl.

Now you’re saying to yourself, the two types of costumes just described are very typical halloween costumes… don’t people want to find original and different halloween costumes that don’t get seen every year? Well the truth is that once a few people find a cool new costume idea, it spreads like wildfire and stays afloat for awhile. But don’t feel bad, if you watch the trends you can spot which costumes won’t be as popular one year and then jump in that direction!

So how about a few other costume ideas based on what happened this past year? Think of dressing up as a character from Snakes On a Plane, as a couple dress up as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and carry a few kids with you, dress up as browncoat and be the captain of a firefly ship named Serenity. The sky is the limit, so although everyone wants to look cool and up to date on the latest news events, movies and celebrities, ultimately how much fun you have is going to be more important than the costume you pick… unless your costume is the exact same one as everyone else’s. Happy halloween costume hunting!
