Best Fancy Dress Costume Ideas For Your Next Party

By Sally Stylles

It's that time of year again and your next big bash is just around the corner. In the past you've been somewhat oblivious to the themes, but this year you plan on going all out. It's going to be fun and we're going to help you pick out the best fancy dress costume for you.

Understanding the Event

Listen, it doesn't have to be Halloween for you to want to play along with a party. There are several out there today that are geared for specific themes, which is obviously why you are here. Fancy dress costumes are as popular as ever, and if we can figure out what you need for this event, everyone will be talking about you throughout the evening.

Just keep in mind to figure out what the party theme is before you go. Obviously this will keep you from wearing the wrong fancy dress costumes, but it will also narrow down your selection, which is always helpful. Seriously, you don't want to end up at a Western styled theme in Criss-Cross clothes. You get the idea, but if you need a few more examples, here are a few of them below:

Be Sure to Accessorize

No costume can turn heads if not matched with the right accessories. What good is your western cowboy outfit if you don't have the kerchief and the cowboy hat? What is the use of your Cleopatra outfit if you don't cover up with bling and have your face made-up with the exotic look?

Fancy dress costumes accessories from wigs, bags, shoes, jewelry, and face paint are available in various designs and make you look glamorous not plain. Savage, queen, pirate, doctor, or vampire, you can get the look you want to impress your friends and have fun acting out the role.

Feeling nostalgic? Don a mini and ape Twiggy's heavily-lined eyes and short hair for the 60s look or if you are Beatle fan, ease yourself into a suit and top your head with moptop wig but don't forget to bring that vintage guitar. For the 70s, a punk blond wig must match your disco outfit. The 80s? Grab those old Madonna photos and heat up the scene with legwarmers, heavy metal studs, sequins, boyfriend jackets and power shoulders.

The Best Places to Find Fancy Dress Costumes

It used to be that we could only find these things in our local area, which kind of downplayed our outfits a bit. However, today you can just hop on the Internet and find every little piece to making a magnificent puzzle. Fancy dress costumes and accessories are all over, so if you can't find it online, you won't be able to find it at all.

When it's time to head out for your next big birthday party, call everyone and let them know the theme. Whether it's Greek Philosophers, the Roman Empire, Spartans, Cowboys, Teletubbies, SpongeBob Square pants, sports players, or anything else, make sure they play along. You can even help them find their fancy dress costumes if you want to, which we recommend.

In the end, don't forget to add all the table settings, props, music, and lighting effects to the party. You will definitely want to have some mood setters to get everyone going, which is why these are important. This is all it takes for you to be a hit at the next big bash. Good Luck!
