So Halloween is coming and you’re thinking about the Top Halloween Costume Trends of 2013.
So, which costumes will be popular this year? Here are our predictions;
Princesses. These always top the “most popular” lists for young girls and for adults. This year will be no different especially with the Disney Princess craze. Girls love it and parents love seeing their little ones dress like a princess.
· Zombies . For the past 3 years, zombies have been a serious part of our pop culture. This is all thanks to Walking Dead, World War Z, and other zombie movies and literature. See my list of Top Zombie movies here. Zombie costumes are also fun and relatively easy to throw together making them a fun and VERY popular choice!
*Sexy Fruit costumes: These gained popularity last year and are still HOT this year with the party crowd! Watermelon, Banana, Strawberry, Pineapple
· Superheroes. Think about the popular characters from movies this year and they are all great bets – Iron Man, Wolverine, Superman, and the crew from “Kick Ass”. Old favorites, like Thor and Captain America will also be popular too. After all who doesn’t love a good comic superhero! The good guy always wins, right?
· Star Trek. Now that these movies are (sort of) cool again expect to see an increased demand in Star Trek costumes – particularly from the original series (these are the characters in the new movie series). This will trend more with adults than kids (so we predict) These Star Trek costumes run around the $30 mark – still pretty reasonably priced.
· Pirates. These costumes have been popular for some time. They’re still selling really well! They’re fun too. What not to like about talking like a pirate. They even have a day dedicated to talking like a pirate! Plus, Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean kept this costume popular and will for many years to come! And what’s not to like about this pirate costume priced at ONLY $9.97!!
· 2013 Movie Inspired. There are other movies that will inspire costumes from this year. For example, the Great Gatsby is always a fun character. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Mosters University are going to be HOT! Who doesn’t love Mike and Sully!!!! Oh and lets not forget Minions from Despicable Me costumes: One of my family’s favorite movies this year was Despicable Me 2. Those minions are the greatest!! Both thegirls minion costume and the boys minion costume makes it so kids can dress like Dave or other D2 minions this fall
· Fairy Costumes. People love dressing up as fairies and other fantasy creatures and have for some time. It’s fun to pretend, even for just a night that you are a magical fairy so that thought keeps this costume still popular.
· 80’s Resurgence. Those of us who have grown up in the 80’s may cringe – but this era is hip again – at least for Halloween. Lol! ☺
· Pop Culture Idols. Halloween costumes modeled after people like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, or Even Kim Kardashian are always popular choices during this time of year.
