Pirate Costumes – A New Take On An Old Favorite
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.
