Customer Review: GreatGot a lot of compliments trick-or-treating with my daughter. Lots of people said they wished they had it for a costume party!
Since there were numerous superhero movies for the summer of 2008, this article could easily have been titled "Alternative to Plus Size Superhero Costumes for Men". If the past is an indication of the future, much like last year when Spiderman and Transformers ruled the cinema and, later on, the Halloween scenes, then this year there certainly will be a lot of Iron Man, Hulk, and Hellboy costumes. And for sure, there will be an overabundance of Batman and Heath Ledger's Joker costumes. Halloween parties for 2008 will be like going to a comic book convention.
But do you have to dress up like them? If you're answering no, then below are some adult Halloween costume suggestions for you to consider:
Pirate Costumes. I'm not necessarily referring to Jack Sparrow costumes which were popular last year. But pirate costumes have been popular even before the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. And adult pirate costumes are highly recommended for this year again as alternatives to super hero costumes. Besides the Jack Sparrow pirate costume, another good one is called the Cap'n Cutthroat Costume. They're similar because both are pirate captains.
Indian Costumes. Chief Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and other American Indians shall forever remain in the hearts of modern-day partiers. Adult Indian costumes are one of the more popular costumes, especially for plus size men because of the loose and comfortable fittings. Typically, plus size Indian costumes are made with long sleeves shirts and elastic pants along with the distinctive feathered headbands. Tomahawks are usually optional since everyone can recognize you already as an Indian. Warpaints are fun to put on.
Greek Toga Costumes. You can't wear a toga costume without anyone quoting Animal House. This costume can be easily made using a white blanket. So yeah, it's a do-it-yourself costume. You'll need a laurel leaf headband and sandals. Bashing a guitar against the wall (ala John Belushi) is an option.
Renaissance Knight Costume. This costume can be as elaborate as your imagination or as simple as buying a faux chainmail. If you have the resources and patience, go for the classic knight look in plate armor. But a fake chainmail armor will get you through an incredible party probably much easier and safer.
The above are just some suggestions as alternative to superhero costumes for Halloween. Depending on where you live, men's plus size pirate costumes [out] and other plus size costumes for that matter may not be available for traditional retail. But you can buy them online. Start with the biggies like Amazon and eBay. Also, social shopping sites, like http://www.Kaboodle.com where shoppers like you recommend adult plus size Halloween costumes and other products are good places to start.
