Top 7 Costume Accessories

Costume accessories can make or break a Halloween costume, or any outfit for that matter. Here are seven of the top costume accessories that will make you the hit of any party!

Wigs: Possibly the most important of all costume accessories, wigs can take any costume from drab to fab! Whether you are dressing as Elvis or an Egyptian, wigs add character and can make your Halloween get-up a real hit! When purchasing Halloween wigs, try to choose one that can be used more than once. For example, the long tangled locks of a pirate wench could be reused next year as the tattered tresses of a wicked witch!

Shoes and boots: Some people simply forget about footwear when putting together their Halloween costumes. But the truth is, what you wear on your feet can really make a difference. Costume rental stores will often carry a variety of boots, socks, and shoes to complete an outfit. There are also many retailers online that carry more affordable options such as boot covers for those dressing as a pirate, pioneer, or famous playwright!

Jewelry: Visit you local dollar store for some great bargains on costume jewelry! These costume accessories are definitely the easiest to find, and can actually be fun to wear even after Halloween has past. Costumes such as a Gypsy Fortune teller, geisha, Rock star or even a Queen can all be made that much more believable by adding some glamorous gems!

Ears: Spock, Hobbits, Gremlins, Elves, even animal costumes can all be improved by purchasing a set of costume ears! Most ear accessories will come with skin glue that will help to keep the ears in place, but it is also gentle enough for children to use!

Teeth: One of the oldest and most readily available costume accessories, Halloween teeth have been around for decades. These spooky specialties are actually so popular that some families give packaged sets out in place of candy on Halloween night!

Weapon: Jason, Michael, Freddie Krueger, and the Texas Chainsaw killer are all just a jumpsuit and mask without their weapons of choice! Many costume retailers will carry a selection of fake weapons near Halloween, a must-have if you are planning to prowl the streets dressed as one of these movie screen monsters.

Hat: Whether they are tall, pointy, low, floppy or bright and cheerful hats have always been the favorite of all Halloween accessories and are an important part of trick or treating fun.
