Halloween Accessories to Add To Halloween Costumes

With Halloween costumes, accessories can completely change the look. From the makeup to spooky eyes to using a mask to a complete Halloween costume. One little thing can change everything. If you are on an extremely tight budget, buy a cheap costume. Then, look around the house. Create accessories to add and enhance your costume. Here is how.

A pirate costume is a universal Halloween costume. You are a Goth person and have a lot of Goth jewelry.  A studded bracelet, a studded neck collar, black Goth boots, black trench coat, and even black nail polish and lipstick.

First, put on the white flowing shirt and black pants of the costume. Tuck the pant legs inside your boots.  Take your neck collar and snap it around one of your ankles for an effect. If you have more than one, use them on both ankles and around your neck. Keep the styles together to match the ankles. Wear only one bracelet on your wrist. You can use black wedged or chunky shoes if you do not have boots.

If your Halloween costume came with a vest, use those colors to heighten it by using accessories that will coordinate and blend.  If it was solid red, then use spooky red eyes that look scary and menacing wearing only black lipstick with hints of red mixed in. Make patterns on your nails using black nail polish as the base. After it dries, use red nail polish for the designs or use press on designs to accent the costume. The same goes if the vest was green with a pattern. Add some flair to make things look awesome.

You can use your black trench coat if it is a chilly night.  Wrap a color coordinated scarf around your head and waist. Your Halloween costume usually comes with one. If not, match it with your vest so nothing clashes. Use one pirate earring or use a set of gold or silver hoops with pirate symbols. You can glue things onto a cheap pair of earrings to make the accessory accent everything.

You can take this Halloween accessory look one step further and become a living dead pirate. Nasty, rotten teeth, skin coming off the bone with awesome face makeup. Change the eyes up to completely white for a dead effect. Use skeleton skin gloves or bony fingers to make the boney effect in the hands. Create a hook on one hand. Limp and drag your foot or create a peg leg.

There are several different styles of Halloween Costumes to choose from. The accessories used for these costumes are limitless. Just because some are included with the costume, you are your own person, free style and change things up to being unique, bold, and daring. The costume can take on a life of its own with a completely different meaning or added twist from good to evil and evil to semi bad.
