If you’re dressing up as a monster, an animal, an alien or some other character that would have wild eyes, special contact lenses will put the finishing touch on the costume.
These contacts can transform your eyes with all kinds of patterns, such as animals, unnatural colors or unique shapes. You can get them with either your normal prescription if you wear contacts or glasses, or with no prescription if you don’t normally wear them.
Some of the more common wild contacts include zebra, jaguar and cat eyes. Or you can choose from more out-of-this-world styles like aliens, totally white, wildfire, ice or totally black.
You can even get contacts with the logo for your favorite sport team!
If you’re going to a costume party this Halloween and want to stand out from the crowd, these wild contacts are sure to make an impression.
And you can even wear them after Halloween if you really want to surprise people…

Renaissance costumes are a popular item, and not just at Halloween. Renaissance weddings have become quite popular, so there are lots of costumes available to suit the period.
If you do some searching online you’ll find tons of medieval stores that specialize in these costumes from the Renaissance period. You’ll be able to get quite specific if you want – choosing from Old English, Scottish, Celtic, Irish, Pirates and lots more.
eBay is another great place to look for these costumes. There are lots of small businesses that specialize in making Renaissance clothes that sell through eBay. You can even find good used clothing that suits the style, often for next to nothing.
Another place you can find clothes that would be a good fit for a Renaissance Halloween party is in the newspaper classifieds.
People who have costumes from past Halloweens may not want to wear the same thing again. They might be selling them through the classifieds, or you could place a wanted ad looking for anyone with costumes to sell.
There are even Renaissance newsletters that are sent on a regular basis – both on the internet and in print – where you might be able to find information on tracking these costumes down.
A pirate has long been a favorite costume at Halloween. It’s easy to put together, and everyone recognizes it. Kids or adults can both have fun dressing up like a pirate.
With the recent popularity of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, a pirate is more popular than ever. If you’re thinking about dressing up as Captain Jack Sparrow this year, here are a few tips…
First, a big part of Captain Jack’s appeal is the way he acts. According to Johnny Depp, he took a bit of Keith Richards and a bit of Pepe Le Pue and put it together to make Jack Sparrow.
If you’re going to truly become Captain Jack, you need to get the attitude and mannerisms as well as the costume.
- Act like you are always in complete control, even if you have no idea where you are.
- Think of yourself as every woman’s dream.
- Walk like you were raised at sea and can’t walk straight on land.
With the popularity of the movie this summer, Jack Sparrow is going to be a popular costume this Halloween.
If you’re thinking about renting it, make sure you book it well in advance to be sure they’re not all gone. If you’re going to make your own costume, now’s the time to start scouring your local thrift shop or eBay for clothes you can use.
Medieval themed weddings and parties are becoming very popular, and this is especially true at Halloween. Many people are throwing medieval-themed Halloween parties, where everyone is supposed to wear a medieval theme costume.
Because the theme is so popular, there are lots of costumes available to suit medieval times.
If you’re looking for a costume, there are lots of places to find them. You might have a costume rental shop nearby where you can find almost anything – from a suit of armor to an elegant wedding gown.
There are also plenty of websites that sell these costumes. Medieval role-playing is a popular activity for a lot of people all year round, so the costumes are quite widely available.
If you plan to rent your costume, you should reserve it as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Buying it doesn’t need quite as much lead-time, but keep in mind that even the stores could sell out. You also need to allow enough time for the costume to ship to you in time for Halloween.
You can also put your own costume together. Thrift stores and second-hand stores are a great source of clothes that could be transformed into a great medieval outfit.
eBay is another great place to look for costume items. There are lots of listing for old clothes and accessories that you could use for your costume, often for next to nothing.
Halloween is a fun time for kids – not only do they get a bunch of candy and treats, they also get to dress up like their favorite characters.
There’s no shortage of ideas when it comes to kids costumes – just look to their favorite TV shows or movies for inspiration.
Cartoon characters, superheros, animals – there are tons of ideas right there.
They can also go with something more traditional, like a vampire or a witch.
They might even want to dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. A rock star, a fireman, a hockey player – the choices are endless.
When planning your kids costumes, there are few things you should keep in mind…
If they’re going out trick-or-treating, be mindful of the weather. If you live somewhere that is likely to be cold or rainy, plan their costume accordingly.
Dressing up in a costume that has more to it is going to keep them a lot warmer. After all, who want to wear a jacket and cover up that great costume?
Try to keep the costume as low maintenance as possible. Kids will be kids, and they can be pretty hard on their costume. This is especially true if they get to wear it to school for Halloween, or some other event where they’ll be active in it.
Make sure the costume is easy for them to get in and out of (bathroom breaks will come, after all) and won’t fall apart if they play in it.
