Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Embrace the nostalgia this October with 1950s Halloween costumes for the whole family. Gather up all the greaser wigs for the boys, poodle skirts for the girls, and jump in your hot rod cars headed for a 50s inspired Halloween. Seriously, there may not be any hot rods, but you definitely could get outfitted in the attire of day. A whole family in 1950s Halloween costumes is sure to be a hit this Halloween.
As long as you remember a few simple rules, you can make your 1950s Halloween costumes as unique as you want. And don't let the social divisions of the day stall your efforts in choosing a design style to follow. The 50s have long gone; go with costumes that you will feel most comfortable with.
Men can pull on the greaser wig, leather jacket and attitude to play the John Travolta-wannabe. If you are looking for something on the other end of the spectrum, grab yourself a bowtie and pocket protector. Yank those plaid pants high and in no time, you will find yourself looking at a genuine 50s nerd in the mirror!
Ladies, you have two choices before you go as well. You can do the 50s inspired poodle skirt; pair it with a white shirt and matching white socks, and you've got a classic representation of 1950s Halloween costumes for women (or girls). But this 'wholesome' girl is not the only one we've seen from the 1950s; there is also the 'bad' girl. This girl would, no doubt, be wearing skin tight pants on bottom while her top was covered in a 'Pink Ladies' type jacket (again, think "Grease").
The point is simple: angel Halloween costumes don't have to be executed in the same old ways of the past. The golden halo doesn't have to be golden, you can try a different color; heck, you could even replace the halo with a wreath of flowers if you wanted. Get creative, look around your local craft store for inexpensive alternatives. As for the wings, feather wings are the standard choice; but you can make your own wings (and they don't have to be white).
So what if you think the 1950s were only about conforming; now is your chance to take the bland out of the decade. Jazz up your family's costumes this Halloween. Add extra studs and gems to all the 1950s Halloween costumes for a more impressive display.
Really live the part and learn the language of the times! Watch an old film, or browse the internet for websites devoted to the 1950s. If you are not sure what words were popular in everyday speech, the resources are out there, or pop in your Happy Days DVD or VHS. Make all who see you think they have been transported back in time!
So a lot of people may feel like the angel Halloween costumes are overdone. I say, this doesn't have to be the case if the costume is infused with a little extra creativity. Add things that make the costume your own and people are sure to take notice. It doesn't matter whether you like your angel Halloween costumes to be the nice version or the not so nice version; either way you can have fun designing it and making it your own.
