What's Hot in Costumes for 2011

If I were asked what the top 2 Costumes will be for Halloween 2011, I would have to say Steampunk & Zombies, for sure! They made a prominent appearance at Halloween Trade Shows this year and there are many options to choose from.

Steampunk is Victorian Industrial & Science Fiction. Think monocles, gears, bell toppers, aviator goggles, etc. This growing movement brings fans together for conventions and has even made its way into crime scene show episodes. The great thing about Steampunk costumes is the accessories! You can take your own piece and mix and match and add accessories to have several different looks.

Steampunk Adult Duster Coat
Steampunk Sally Adult Costume

Featured above are a Steampunk Duster Coat and Steampunk Sally Costume. These are just 2 examples of the many Steampunk Costumes that will be available for purchase later in the year. There will also be many leather and gear themed chokers, bracelets, necklaces, and rings out there. With all the ways to dress up your Steampunk Costume, the possibilities are endless!

Zombie School Boy Adult Costume

Zombies were a hit last year, and I feel will be an even bigger hit this year. With Zombies, you can pretty much create your own outfit by picking out something (that you hopefully don't want to wear anymore), shred it and add some Stage Blood and Texas Dirt and some Zombie makeup and you are good to go!

If you don't have any clothes that you can ruin to create a costume, there are plenty out there to choose from! For the men there are the Zombie Headmaster, Football Player, Clown, Pirate, and more! For the women there are the Zombie Cheerleader, Nurse, and School Girl, etc.

Another popular costume accessory for Zombie Costumes are White Contacts. You can check your local optometrist to get fitted for contacts. You are supposed to be required to have an eye exam to purchase any kind of contacts, even non-prescription.
