How bold do you feel this Halloween? This season you’ll find a ton of sexy costumes for adult women to choose from cats to bunnies to the standard princess. But, with the popularity of the Avatar movie by James Cameron booming, none are going to be more desired than the Neytiri Halloween costumes.

Blue all over

Now, you might not be timid and the idea of using paints to make your body blue all over is an option (be careful not to break any laws) but most girls are not willing to go this far.

The blue outfit

With the great selection of Neytiri Halloween costumes, your worries are over. You can have that sexy look of Neytiri by wearing a skin tight costume and putting body paint only on your face for effect. A bit less risque but the heads will turn when this exciting female shows up at the party.

Are you a flapper or a gangster? These are just a couple of the best 1920s costumes and outfits pegged for Halloween this season.

Period outfits

Halloween is upon us yet again, and so is the challenge of finding a truly great costume. Some people like scary costumes, some people like funny costumes, and some (mostly the ladies) like sexy costumes. Personally, I like clever costumes that are original; those are my favorite kind of costumes.

Therefore, I like looking for period costumes – the kind of costumes people don’t think of right away. This year in particular, I’m looking for costumes from the 1920s. Here are some of my ideas for the best 1920s costumes.

This decade was hot!

The 1920s were called the “Roaring Twenties” for good reason. This was the time of the speakeasy, the flapper, and the birthdate of jazz. People were excited to have a good time, and the best 1920′s costumes reflect the spirit of the age.

Gangster clothing and the flapper dress

The most popular (and some might say best) 1920′s costumes are the flapper and the gangster. These costumes have been around forever; the glittery sequined A-line dress for women, with feather-y headbands and (for the thorough) a bob-cut wig. For the gentlemen, over-sized, pinstriped, double-breasted suits with fedoras (and, for those that love props, a tommy gun).

These are usually the first costumes one thinks of when they think of the best 1920′s costumes, and so, are easy to find, whether online or in a store. However, because of their immense popularity, they lack a certain originality that I look for in the best 1920′s costumes. Here are some other ideas.

Earn celebrity status

I like thinking back to famous celebrities or movies at the particular period I’m looking at. In that sense, I think one of the most popular 20′s costume looks is to go as Charlie Chaplin. His is an iconic look that is easily and instantly identifiable. Plus, the costume itself is easy to put together.

However, one of my very favorite 1920′s costumes is simply the period clothes. I think that shooting for an everyday 1920′s look will create the best 1920′s costumes.

20s Movie themes for Halloween

I like to watch movies set in that period, such as The Great Gatsby, for ideas on how the men and women dressed. This is especially great, because it allows you to create your own distinctive, period-inspired look, rather than an expensive store-bought costume.

Regardless of your strategy, the best 1920′s costumes are sure to be a favorite to whatever masquerade or Halloween party you attend. Just try to think a little edgy, and you will come up with your own unique twist and ideas for the best 1920′s costumes. Remember, not too short on the dress!

This Halloween you are looking for something new to wear aren’t you? Well, you might consider dressing up in something old like a 1970s costume this year. You will certainly get attention at the party with these retro clothes.

There are many directions to go when choosing 1970′s costumes to wear to a 2009 halloween party. The 1970s were themselves a time of social, cultural and sartorial upheaval, a time when people of subculture began to push more into the mainstream.

As a result they began to bring their subcultural modes of not only thought and political activism to the fore, but also their manner of dressing.

Why the 70s outfit is so popular

In a way, 1970′s costumes were an outlet for people of similar backgrounds, political ideas and desires to identify with others of the same notions. We identify each other, in other words, by the way we look and dress and act.

Typs of costumes from the 1970 era

Some examples of this in terms of 1970′s costumes are swingers, disco dress, and “pimps” in the Superfly mold. Swingers of course, are defined thusly by wikipedia:

Swinging, sometimes referred to as the swinging lifestyle, is “non-monogamous sexual activity, treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple.”[1] The phenomenon of swinging (or at least its wider discussion and practice) may be seen as part of the sexual revolution of recent decades, which occurred after the upsurge in sexual activity made possible by the prevalence of safer couples practices during the same period.

So choosing a swinger outfit as the best of the 1970′s costumes makes some sense. Same with a disco outfit – just look at “Saturday Night Fever” for inspiration, since that is the definitive disco film and provides the best ideas for 1970′s costumes of that mold.

And as I mentioned before, Superfly is another great idea. For those not familiar, Superfly is the story of an inner-city drug dealer who turns against his mafia bosses and goes on a killing spree.

Sure, you need a full-length fur coat to pull the costume off, but a creative halloween costume buyer can come up with that with a bit of effort. Add some gold rings, a cane, sunglasses and fancy hat, and you’re ready to rock with the best of 1970′s costumes.

So, now you have the rest of the story. At any rate, have some fun this year and swing around to your party or event wearing your retro clothing in the form of 1970s costumes for full effect of the period. Hey, this could even be a Halloween party theme this season!
