Our childhood costume ideas
Halloween is upon us, and it’s high time to think about the essential element of this evening: the disguise. Whether you are organizing an evening with friends, a party in family or you are preparing to accompany your children on their traditional candy hunt, a costume is essential. But this year, why not think outside the box and offer your guests an original theme: back to childhood ? Here are some costume ideas that will take you back to the colorful and fantastic world of your youth.
The heroes of our childhood
Childhood is a time bathed in dreams, games and stories. Each child has his hero, characters from cartoons, films or books that had an impact on him and that he liked to imitate. Why not bring these characters back to life for an evening?
A Scooby Doo costume, this timid but endearing dog who solved mysteries with his group of friends, will be a hit with those nostalgic for cartoons from the 70s and 80s. For fans of fairy tales, a Red Riding Hood costume, with its red cape and its garnished basket, will be perfect. THE Disney princesses, superheroes from comics and films, characters from Star Wars Or Harry Potter, are all possible costume ideas. Don’t forget the accessories which will complete your costume: magic wand, sword, crown…
Group disguises
If you are attending the evening as a couple, with family or friends, why not opt for a group costume ? It’s a great idea for building cohesion and team spirit, and it’s always more fun to dress up together.
You can choose a group of famous people from your childhood: the Ninja Turtles, the Flintstones family, the heroes of Toy Story or Minions, to name just a few. For couples, think of unforgettable duos like Tarzan and Jane, Fred and Wilma Flintstones, Mickey and Minnie.
Medieval disguises
THE Middle Ages is a period that fascinates children, with its knights, princesses, wizards and fantastic creatures. For a disguise original and nostalgic, why not take inspiration from this era?
You can disguise yourself as a knight, with a armor, a sword and a shield, as a princess with a long dress and a crown, or as a magician with a cape and a pointed hat. For the more daring, a dragon or unicorn costume will be a sensation.
Carnival costumes
Carnival is a traditional festival that evokes many childhood memories. THE disguises Carnival events are often colorful, extravagant and full of fantasy. This is an opportunity to give free rein to your imagination and creativity.
You can dress up as a harlequin, with his colorful costume and mischievous mask, as a clown with his red nose and big shoes, or as a Mardi Gras with his frilly dress and feathers. The carnival costumes of Venice, with their magnificent masks and elegant dresses, are also a great source of inspiration.
Whatever costume you choose, remember that the important thing is to have fun, share a good time and let the child in you express itself. So, ready to make a back to childhood for an evening? Happy Halloween everyone!
