Sports Costumes: Go Specific or General

Halloween is just around the corner (well, sort of), and it’s never too early to think ahead about what your halloween costume will be for the next costume party. You may need the time anyway, as if you are into athlete costumes, dressing up as a specific star will require accessories that mark that particular personality and these might not lie at your fingertips or stashed away in your bedroom closet. For example, athlete costumes that relate to consummate golfer, Tiger Woods, will surely need his trademark cap and fore-iron. You may need to rent the other accessories, as he will also need a girl on each arm, leg and who knows where else. Sports costumes are a fun and easy way to utilize items in your house without breaking the bank for a costume party. Here are a few more excellent athlete costume ideas:

Babe Ruth was a star like few others but in order to even think of even vaguely shining anywhere near his image you will need a cap and at least one bat. Pair with long white socks, a pair of sweats and cleats Perhaps when you put together the makeshift uniform, you can print the words, The Babe, somewhere across it. That will help considerably, unless of course someone mistakes you for that cute pig of the same name from that movie of a few years ago.

Are you a women who is looking for a feminine spors costume? An usual costume to choose would be an ice skater. Your costume would include a skimpy, glittery outfit, ice skates, a lightweight iron pipe and a perpetual hands-on-hips pose and forced smile. Though, we recommend switching to roller skates instead of ice skates as the party is probably not outdoors. If you end up having a few too many drinks, we also recommend that you take the skates off!

If specific personalities for athlete costumes are not your bag, go general and online. There are many athlete costumes already put together that might suit you better. You can consider some of the following: Football Player Girl, Men’s Cheerleader, Womens Sexy Referee Costume, Halloween Boxer Girl or the Coach Kit. Athlete costumes require some ingenuity and planning if you are making them on your own. If you don't have a friend (or yourself!) who has had failed sports attempts, you may not have extra sports items laying around. So why not go the easy way and pick out one online?

The experience could turn out to be a home run, foul ball, slip on the ice or…well…you know.The author commonly writes about costumes and costume accessories for SummitFashions.
