Have a blast this Halloween with a Cap n Cut Throat Pirate Costume.

Ok. It’s been at least ten years now. Pirate costumes have taken over Halloween for ten years, it is time for them to stop. Pirate costumes overkill is fully in effect and it should end as soon as possible. Yes, there was a time where a good pirate costume or two would be a hit for the party. I remember seeing a pirate at a Halloween party several years ago and thinking, wow, what a cool costume. This past year, I saw at least two dozen different pirates and I thought, wow, what a lame costume. If you want to have the worst costume at your Halloween party, go with some pirate costumes.

Ok, maybe that is a little hard on pirate costumes. Maybe some of them can be really cool, especially the female pirate costumes. Still, if you want a good Halloween costume, you are better off picking something other than a pirate.

That said, if you are going to go for a pirate look, here are a couple of suggestions to make it slightly less obnoxious. First of all, putting on an eye patch and talking with an argh does not make you a pirate. If you want to dress up as a pirate, fine. Just put in some effort. That said, if you do want to dress up, make sure that you do not go over board either. One sign you might be over-committing to your costume is if you start growing out your facial hair months ahead to get an authentic-looking goatee, complete with beads. That is a little much.

At this point you might be thinking about what the next pirate costumes might be. In other words, if pirates are the old fad then what is the new one? Here are some possible costumes that will eclipse pirate costumes in popularity. For men, I have targeted a couple of different mens costumes ideas that could catch fire over the next few years.

First of all, I think the fighter pilot costume is a good one. It has a certain coolness to it and plenty of potential references to Top Gun. Another good possibility is Sherlock Holmes or other detective characters. Finally, consider nautical themes such as sailors or fishermen.

In conclusion, if you are going the pirate costume route, consider the things mentioned above. Pirate costumes should be neither trying too hard or trying too little. But most of all, you should avoid pirate costumes. They’re unoriginal and lame.

What a great way to dress this Halloween.

Choose from a huge range of Pirates Costumes including Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sexy Pirate Wench and many more.  Once you have decided on going as a pirate, you will be overwhelmed with the choice of different Pirates Costumes available.

Have a look at this video for some ideas.  Happy Halloween.

Jack Sparrow Costumes have become extremely popular as a result of the huge success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

BUY JACK SPARROW COSTUME

Johnny Depp played the fictional character of Captain Jack Sparrow in The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, Dead Man’s Chest in 2006, and At World’s End in 2007.  Most film critics praised Depp’s performance in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Captain Jack Sparrow was the Lord of the Caribbean, and uses wit and negotiation rather than weapons and force to avoid dangerous situations.   He will fight if necessary, but would rather flee.

The Jack Sparrow Costume starts with a patterned red bandana tied just below his hairline with his trademark dreadlocks flowing from it.  He has numerous items in his hair including beads, coins, and bones.

Over his V-neck white shirt is a blue vest, and then his knee length tweed frock coat.  Sparrow usually wore two belts over his olive grey colored pants.

Of course the feature of the Sparrow costume is the signature leather hat.  Other characters in the series could not wear leather hats, to ensure his hat was unique.

What do you think about a Sexy Pirate Wench Costume for Halloween?  Every pirate ship must have a sexy pirate wench.  It would not be a pirate ship without one.

What do you need for your costume?  Not very much.  Long hair is preferable, and long legs even better.  Fishnet stockings and boots are a must, but from there, less is better.

Make sure if you decide on dressing as a sexy pirate wench, that you have your weapon with you.  The best choice would be a large sword.  It will definitely enhance your costume, but more importantly, you can use it to drive away the budding Captain Jack Sparrow’s.

So you want to make a Pirates Costume for Halloween.

Pirates costumes are fairly easy to make and can be put together in a flash.  If you have a crowded wardrobe you may find you have the basics already.  If not, a quick trip to a second hand clothing shop will get you started.

What you are going to need is –

• Old jeans or trousers – preferably black – and remember, the older the better
• Boots – these will also work better if they are well aged
• Shirt – either a horizontal striped T-shirt or a baggy white or cream button up shirt – again, an old shirt will work best
• A wide black or brown belt with a big buckle
• Bandana – red is best
• Cardboard
• Paint
• Elastic

To make a start you need to make a mess of the jeans.  They should be cut off below the knee.  Don’t cut them straight – make it a messy jagged cut.  Make a few tears at the bottom, and a rip or two in the leg will look good.  When you have done that throw them in the wash to get the tears to fray a bit.

The shirt can be used as is, or roughed up a bit.  If you are using a button up shirt, the collar can be torn off.  The cuffs could also be cut off and some elastic used.

If you can’t find the right belt, the bandana can be used around your waist.  It looks good if it is tied around the waist and one end hangs down to the knees.

Make an eye patch out of some thin cardboard.  Paint it black and use the elastic to tie it on.
Cardboard from a packing box can be used to make a cutlass.  A bit of thought and a touch of paint should result in classy looking weapon.  Try some aluminium foil wrapped around the cardboard for the blade.

Some gold or silver jewellery will look good.  Neck chains and hooped earrings are the choice of most pirates.

To finish the costume off you should consider a tattoo on the forearm.  Also some brown and grey face paints to the arms and face will give you that sun and wind burned look.

Remember that pirates never worried too much about their appearance, and washing their clothes was not high on their priority list.

Pirates costumes have been around for centuries, but they remain a great costume for Halloween or any other special event.

If you need some inspiration, just have a look at the movies. There have been over 300 pirate movies produced, so what better way to gain some inspiration than the movies.

Some of the famous movies include, Pirates of the Caribbean, Captain Blood, The Pirate Movie, Yellowbeard and Treasure Island. Did you know that there were more than twelve movies produced with the title Treasure Island.

Those movies provide us with some great ideas and variety to create a unique pirates costume.

The pirates costume is definitely a fun thing to do, and can be as elaborate or as simple as you choose. In putting one together there are a few things that may be worth remembering.

Pirates Costume for Women

Women have a great choice when it comes to the type of Pirates Costume they want to wear. Body shape will definitely influence the chosen style.

If you don’t mind showing off your body there are plenty of skimpy, sexy ideas. Short skirts with lace stockings and high-heeled boots, together with a low cut lacy top look great. Throw on some big hoop earrings, a hat, and mess up your hair.

For those women who want to cover up a little, there are also many options available. For the bottom you can wear a full or three quarter length skirt with an uneven hem. Three quarter length baggy pants also look great. The bottom should be a dark colour and will look best with boots. Leggings can also be incorporated for great effect.

There are also a number of choices for the top. A long sleeved, horizontal striped shirt works well. It needs to be tight fitting, with wide stripes. A peasant style, long or short-sleeved blouse is also good. Vests and belts will definitely add the finishing touch.

If you can’t find the right hat, a red scarf or bandana will set the costume off. And don’t forget the jewellery.

Pirates Costume for Men

The men’s costume can also be an elaborate or simple job. Dark pants, tucked into a great pair of boots is a good start. An alternative could be vertical striped pants.

A white or cream long sleeved blouse shirt is always good for the top. The top can be unbuttoned to the waist if you have something to show off, or button it up and leave the neck open. You can then add a big buckled belt or bandana to the waist. There are a number of different styles of vests or jackets that can be included in your costume if you wish.

The finishing touches can include a hat, or longhaired wig, or both. Bandanas and scarves can be used to great effect, and there is always the eye patch to make you look like the real deal.

Of course many male pirates wear large silver earrings, and a tattoo on the forearm could also add a unique touch.

Other Accessories

There are many accessories that can be worn by both men and women. Some of these include your weapon of choice. Most pirates can be seen with a pistol or sword in their hand, so decide what will best suit your costume.

A parrot on your shoulder will certainly create some interest, but a live one might be a little difficult. That is unless you already have a well-trained parrot at home.

Wigs and beards will always add to the effect, but you should also consider a wooden crutch, wooden leg, or a hook on your arm.

Whatever you decide on for your costume, there are many choices available. Most important is to have fun while you are sailing the high seas as a pirate.
