Costumes go hand in hand with accessories. In fact, there are some costumes that can’t be complete without the right accessories. Accessories complete the look and even make it easy for people in the group to know which character you’re playing. With so many accessory options available today, you need to make sure you get it right every time.
shoes and feet – Some costumes come complete with shoes and footwear, saving you the need to start looking for the right shoes and feet to work with the outfit. However, even when looking at what your costume has, you need to make sure that your feet and shoes are comfortable to wear during the party. The fact is, some may be too big or too tight, too hot or too tall for your liking. In case you are not comfortable with the shoes or do not feel flexible enough in your feet, consider the options of replacing them with one that is more comfortable for you. The fact is, it’s hard for a costume to break just because you made changes to the shoes or feet it originally came with.
masks – Some of the costumes won’t work without a mask. A good example is the Zorro themed fancy dress costume which can lose its impact without the trademark mask. When choosing masks, be sure to consider your visibility behind them. The best goggle should play its part, but still offer you good visibility. You also don’t want to keep taking your mask off every time you want to talk or eat. It is advisable to select masks that offer good coverage around the eyes, the nose and, of course, even the mouth. You also want to make sure it’s not too tight or too hot, especially if you’ll be wearing it throughout the day.
glitter and paint – They make amazing options for masks as they are easy to make and use. However, when choosing, make sure it is painted well to complete the look. You don’t want to end up looking like a dog when your intentions were to look like a cat, for example. It’s also important to choose paint and glitter that are safe to use on skin. Always ask about the ingredients they are made from and how safe they are for your skin.
wands and swords – These are some of the accessories that must be worn for most of the party. However, you should consider how possible it is to stack them when the need arises and then retract them to hold them. For example, it can be difficult to hold party treats or food with a wand or sword, and a costume with a section that you can safely insert the wand or sword into to give your hands flexibility can be a amazing choice. This feature is not only convenient, but also ensures that your items stay safe with you.
