Get Retro with Fifties Halloween Costumes!
Halloween is not just for children. Nowadays, even adults enjoy this time of the year to party and to show off those unique costumes. Each Halloween, we need to have unique ideas for costumes.
Are you out of good ideas? Well, you can try making fifties Halloween costumes. You can wear Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe or other famous personalities to have the fifties Halloween costumes.
One of the many themes for fifties Halloween costumes is from the popular fifties musical, Grease. Are you familiar with Sandy and Danny of Rydell High School? They feel in love in summer but Danny has a reputation to take care of so he did not tell anybody. He treats Sandy as nobody, as if he had never met her. But Danny can no longer pretend that he is in love with Sandy and their love story begins at the Rydell High School Fair.
Grease is the most popular musical that was brought to the movie screen in 1978. It took the world by storm and had a huge effect on teenagers. Everybody loved Grease. Everybody sought after to dress like Danny, Sandy, Marty, Rizzo, Fonzy and Keneckie. You are definitely familiar with the songs ‘Summer Nights’, ‘You’re The One That I Want’, and ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’ if you were a teenager back in the 1970s.
Dressing up like Danny and Sandy may be out of style these days but Halloween gives us the chance to bring back time and relive our dreams by wearing fifties Halloween costumes. If you are exhausted with witch costumes, you can choose to experience the Grease generation again with fifties Halloween costumes.
You can have a wide selection of Grease characters to create your own for your fifties Halloween costumes. One pick is the character of Sandy, portrayed by Olivia Newton-John. Sandy had a blonde hair and has a naive personality. Her attire consists of a white short-sleeve blouse, a long flared yellow skirt, yellow waistcoat, white socks, and blonde wig with ponytail style, pale pink lipstick and mascara. You can also create a Sandy at the Rydell Fair look with black fit t-shirt, black leather trousers, red high-heeled shoes, blonde curly wig. Complete that fifties look with mascara, eyeliner, grey eye shadow and red lipstick.
Danny is the male lead played by John Travolta who fell in love with Sandy and the leader of the T-Birds. T-Birds are the called rebels of Rydell High. You can achieve that Danny look with black t-shirt, black leather jacket, black pants, black shoes and white socks. Black sunglasses and 1950s black wig will definitely complete the look.
You can also create fifties Halloween costumes by becoming one of the T-Birds or the Pink Ladies. For T-Birds, you can wear black jacket with white t-shirt, blue jeans and black wig with 1950s style. For the Pink Ladies, short-sleeve white blouse, colored scarf around the neck, pink jacket with ‘Pink Ladies’ logo at the back, black shoes, black Capri pants or narrow black skirt. Enhance the look with mascara, eyeliner, dark green eye shadow and red lipstick.
Other fifties Halloween costumes are available anywhere, from the malls and specialty stores, to the internet.
