You may not have a dark soul year around, but on all Hallows Eve you can treat yourself to a night of darkness. You may become the part so well you will creep out friends and party go'ers! Come join the unmerry as they make their way to the next Halloween costume party in a gothic costumes. Gothic costumes reflect this turbulent cosmos and speak their own special message about all those creepy things that used to live only in our nightmares. There are things to consider when making gothic costumes in order to make them effective.
Here are a few tips to achieve the perfect gothic look. Whether you build or buy your costume, these are essential elements:
• Think black, black, black
Color is a no-no. You must drench yourself in black. Check your closet for capes, gloves, shoes, sweaters, hats, socks shawls; anything that might work. Black make-up is a must as well, both for men and women. Buy some cheap eyeliner and the darkest, dreariest lipstick you can find. If you want a contrast color, it is possible if kept at a minimum. The only color we recommend is contrasting with a deep burgundy.
• Pick a specific character
In order for gothic costumes to be most effective, the end result should look like something recognizable. Popular gothic costumes are characters from books and movies. It doesn’t always have to be a well-known person per se, but maybe a specific profession or idea such as: a Gothic nurse, witch, French maid, priest, stripper (you get the picture). Imagine wildly and then search for clothing that will fit that image.
• Get and organize your gothic clothing and make-up
For women, a black dress will serve as an effective base for the costume and for men, any black suit or black pants and a black shirt will do as the foundation for gothic costumes. Many women already have a black dress. If you don't think you'll wear it again, take a razor blade to it and tear it up to give it a darker look--The same goes for men's suits.
• Paint your face and get dressed (not necessarily in that order)
Think big eyes and dark lips and you got it. If you want some extra color, add deep purple or very dark blue. You can go for black lips but be warned that other partygoers may try to resuscitate you (or let you die depending on the party). Slick down your hair with baby oil.
• Going with a date?
Goth styles make for great couples costume ideas! All your date have to do is slip into black from head to toe and follow the dark side of your personalities to really give your costumes a boost!
If you would rather buy your costume online, consider some of these cool numbers:
• Gothic Victorian Queen
• Vampire Bat Costume
• Ghouldilocks Gothic Halloween Costume (a gothic goldilock costume)
• Sexy Elvira Costume
• The Grave Reaper
Have fun, but not too much as you wouldn't want to smile in your gothic diggs!The author commonly writes about costumes and costume accessories for SummitFashions.

Couples Costumes: Two for Tea And Other Things
The ancient Celts believed that on Samhain (the holiday from which Halloween evolved) disguising oneself as a harmful spirit via a costume or mask was the only way to ward off the evil influences of the phantoms that passed between the thin borders of this world and the realm of the supernatural. Down through the years, costumes have become more sophisticated and their original purpose long forgotten. (Or have they?) You don't have to spend a ton on costume ideas either, we'll show you how to use items you already have for a unique and original look.
Perfect couples costumes is the one that will embody the best of both partners. If the costume you have in mind is a hobby that you have that your partner many not have, you should probably keep brainstorming. You both want to have fun, right? Does everyone at the party know you and your date are completely alike? Play on that! Couples costume ideas can be handmade or store bought it all depends on how much time or money you have in mind to spend. Couples costume ideas are easy to develop as all you have to do is think of a pair you admire and imagine what type of clothing they might be wearing.
If you don't have too much money to spend, you can still look good. If you are going to a costume party that is a little more liberal, use items you already have in your closet like lingerie and a pair of heels. There is always room for a sexy woman and her ...John. Or perhaps you are headed to work party. Stay conservative, but remain creative. Be creative, without spending a lot of time piecing together items. Bonnie and Clyde need guns, Adam and Eve at least one apple and four fig leaves,The Lone Ranger and Tonto need masks, silver bullets and horses of some kind (and rear-ends of horses). Just open your closet and look inside.
If you don't have too much time to spend piecing items together, no worries. You can shop online any time of year to find the perfect couples costume ideas. Select from movie characters, famous or infamous duos, or go political--go as Barack and Michelle!.
The choices are endless. But don’t spend too much time deciding.The author commonly writes about costumes and costume accessories for SummitFashions.
