So Halloween’s coming up soon and you don’t know what to wear. Why don’t you try a Jack Sparrow costume for the coming event this time? It’ll be something different. And you’ll look so much better than those who chose to become a long nosed witch or a zombie with flailing brains and blackened teeth. Plus, it will even cost you less because Jack Sparrow doesn’t need any wings or fangs of any sort, so it’ll save you a trip to the costume store and help you keep your wallet in check.

The thing about wearing a Jack Sparrow costume is that it doesn’t require too much and it can be worn by people of any age, even your kid can dress up as a miniature version of Jack Sparrow on Halloween Night and he will be coming home with a bag filled to the brim with candies and chocolates of all sorts, because Jack Sparrow always gets away with what he wants most. Aye.

Becoming Jack sparrow is very easy. All you need to do is rummage through your closet for a white shirt, a vest and a pair of baggy pants and brown boots. Then you need to get yourself a wig of dreadlocks from the wig shop and hang some of your daughter’s colorful beads in it. You’ll need a goatee for your face, either you can buy one from the place where you get your props from or simply grow your own. Then you’ll need to borrow a few rings from your wife, and ask her to apply eyeliner to your face, loads of it. Once all of this is done, you’ll need to turn the edges of your favorite cowboy hat and turn it into Jack Sparrow’s signature brown hat because he just can’t live without it. Last of all, step outside and wow everyone in your neighborhood!

Jack Sparrow’s pirate costume consists of the basic pirate costume theme, except for a few major accessories that sets his costume apart from any others. Firstly, Sparrow has dreadlocks with a few beads hanging from them, along with a red bandana tied to his head, on top of which he wears his favorite brown hat. He wears a white long sleeved shirt, with a vest or a trench coat. Below he wears baggy black pants and brown leather boots. His face is also accessorized with a braided goatee and lots and lots of eyeliner.

The costume for Jack Sparrow was made by Penny Rose, an outstanding designer, who’s worked truly shined throughout all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Jack Sparrow’s costume was also influenced by Johnny
Depp’s own ideas. He gave the pirate a bit of a Rock n’ Roll touch and even added some accessories of his own to the Jack Sparrow costume for instance, his rings and the stories behind them or the necklace made out of toes.

Depp’s additions imparted a great effect on Sparrow’s character. Johnny even altered the character of the witty pirate to his own, which later on resulted in Jack Sparrow’s worldwide success.The role of Captain Jack Sparrow was originally made for Hugh Jackman but when the director saw the amazing performance that Depp had put up, he was elected for the role and so the Jack Sparrow costume had to be altered slightly to the likings of Johnny Depp.

So consider this your lucky day, dear reader, because I am about to give you the simplest, cheapest, and the best way to make good Jack Sparrow costumes.

We’ll start with the hair. Jack Sparrow has some impressive dreadlocks. The dreadlocks are an important part of the Jack Sparrow costume so make sure you buy yourself a nice wig with long ones. Or you could just buy a normal wig with long hair and turn that wig into dreadlocks with the help of backward brushing and hairspray. Add some colorful beads to the wig and a red scarf should be tied around your head once the wig is in place. Plus a braided goatee is also advised.

Next, you can join together bits from your wardrobe to make the dress of Jack Sparrow. There’s no need to buy anything new when you can turn your old clothes into something new. For this you’ll have to look through your closet for:
• A white long sleeved shirt, topped with a black vest
• A long red scarf
• Black, loose pants
• Brown or Black pair of knee high boots,
• And the most important bit of all, any brown hat turned at the sides can be used.
Let’s not forget the last part. Yes, that’s right, eyeliner. Apply loads of it and put your costume on. Once you’ve got your costume on and your “jack Sparrow” spirit on, ye be ready to party all night, hard.

The personality of Jack Sparrow projected in the movie is quite confusing. I personally feel that the producer has created a marvelous character and amazing personality. Sometimes it seems that Jack Sparrow is a stupid guy and sometimes he gives the look of a very shrewd and intelligent person. But overall, the personality of Jack Sparrow is very adventurous and charming. Most of the people like him because he is not like other movie heroes who are always winners, never getting beaten and having a great sense of humor.

This particular Jack Sparrow is like a normal human being. While preparing a Jack Sparrow costume you should keep these personality traits in mind and watch all the movies of how he dresses. Note down some of the interesting sentences uttered by him in the movies and remember these to be used in parties. This will create a very good impact. Another method of creating more effect is to ask some of your friends to get dressed in the fancy costumes of some of the characters of the movies. They can wear costumes of Davy Jones or Elizabeth Swann.

• Make-up accessories especially for the eyes
• Loose old shirt; white coloured
• Black wig having long shabby hair
• Black belt with big metallic buckle
• Black colour shoes
• Red bandana
• A worn out pirate style brown jacket
• Half pant or an old pant cut roughly just below the knees
• Any other thing which you would like to add to make it as per your own requirement

The whole outfit is such that you do not need a sewing machine or special expertise to make the costume at home. By doing this, you will not only save money but at the same time you will enjoy the process. Involve all the family members and make your next costume party a memorable one.

The most fashionable stars known were the Bee Gees, the Beatles, ABBA, and many others including Pink Floyd, with their crazy sense of flair.
As the music industry grew, it helped the fashion industry grow as well. That might be one of the reasons why the 70’s are known as the most fashionable and artistic eras of our time. This shows that music played an important role in the history of fashion. It allowed bell bottom pants, miniskirts, tank tops and many other items to become part of fashion history, all because these styles were worn by famous performers of that time.

Artists, like the Beatles or U2, were not only famous for their music but also for their fashion sense. This is another reason what made them incredibly famous. Their style attracted billions of fans and they were admired by everyone. This may be why people would try to imitate them and copy their styling, whether an afro look or bell bottom pants, people imitated their favourite artists. With the help of these performers, the fashion industry rocketed as people began to take more interest in fashion.

The pirate costumes are mostly the same. The costume is mostly recognized with a pair of leather boots, a shirt underneath and a leather jacket on top, an eye patch, a garter belt with a sword, some dark make up and of course a pirate is no pirate without his pirate hat that sometimes has a feather held in it or a bandana of your favourite colour, wrapped around the head. Because the pirate costume is so simple it is also very easy to build by yourself! You can build your own pirate costume with the help of an adult who can supervise you through the simple steps of the costume making. Or, if you do not have the material to make your own pirate costume, you can always buy it at a costume store near your house, at a very reasonable price and of a very good quality, at the same time!

Once you have your pirate costume at hand and all your pirate equipment is ready along with an excellent pirate vocabulary which will mostly consist of “Aye, Captain!” and “Arg!”, you can wow your friends at any occasion, whether it is at a costume party or at a scary night of Trick or Treating with your amazing costume. Enjoy and have fun with your friends.

I am a highly experienced event manager and people often ask me what theme to choose for their costume pirates and my favourite theme for such parties if Pirate and if the party is being arranged for the kids then I always suggest my friends go for pirate theme as children look great wearing kids pirate costumes.

I also get questions like what activities should be arranged for the children for pirate based theme party. Here are two suggestions which would make the whole event great.

Organize a Treasure Hunt: have you seen movies in which people go for treasure hunt? These movies have great suspense and keep the viewers glued to the screens for the complete duration of the movie. There are heroes, villains, pirates and many interesting characters and throughout the duration your mind is kept on suspense. It looks difficult to create a huge set up of treasure hunt at a small scale of costume party but it is not difficult. These days everyone has a computer, internet and a printer.

Get some old maps of treasure hunt stories from the internet and print those on big size charts. You can design your own map in which you can mark and make the area where you are going to hold the party. This will increase the interest amongst children as they would be more than ready to find the treasure in the area where they are playing and present. So, draw your own map, write the names of characters which are similar to the names of children attending the function. You will see that the children will associate the characters with themselves willingly and would like to act in the same manner as heroes or villains.
Get Pirate Accessories: you must prepare or buy from the market the accessories of kids pirate costumes. Special emphasis must be laid upon acquiring the weapons like plastic swords and smoke generating pistols. These are very cheap and are easily available in the market.

in my life and I have loved the idea of arranging a costume party based on pirates. These parties are well suited especially for the children who look great wearing kids pirate costumes.

In a fancy costume party if we include a treasure hunt event similar to those included the famous pirate movies, creates huge fun amongst every one. Not only children, but the elders also like to win treasures. This is natural as we all love to get treasures without any efforts and the stories associated with treasure hunt make us get involved this activity with full commitment. I have seen the treasure hunt event included in many pirate costume parties and I assure you that if planned and executed successfully, it will be a great success and your efforts will always be appreciated.

There are many event arrangement companies which plan the fancy costume parties. They have each and every thing related to the theme and you do not have to do anything. Just get involved through hiring any of these companies and you will be seeing that your party is a huge success. There are many benefits of hiring any of these companies:
• You will not have to worry about buying different stuff
• You will not be running around to buy or get the items on rent.
• If you arrange everything yourself, you will have to buy many things which will have no future utilization and your money and stuff will be wasted. Additionally you will require extra space to store that stuff and if you do not have that, then you will be throwing away those things.
• These companies know what to do and how to do; so, they will not waste your time, efforts, space or money. They will bring only those things which are essential and there will be no extra things lying here and there.
• They will cater for the number of people and kids involved and will bring only the require number of items.
• They know the games and activities and have the necessary stuff for these activities.
• They make arrangements according to the budget you set them.

Children are innovative and love to adopt new things. Unlike adults, who stick to the old in every sphere of their lives. children need change. They want to explore new things and learn new ways. This is the reason children like to wear fancy costumes. If you have planned a fancy costume event in the near future then the best choice for children would be to arrange kids pirate costumes for that event. I would go one step further and tell you to make the complete theme based on kids pirate costumes. This will save you hassle and will make your party arrangement very easy.

The reasons it will make things easy for you if you make the complete theme based on pirate costume.
• You will not have to run around for different things
• One thing will work out for every one
• You will spend less getting the items in bulk
• In case you go for different themes, you may not be able to get all the items related to that theme. In such case all your efforts and money will be wasted and you will be running around to make arrangements in a short time.

Another interesting thing in pirate costume themed parties is the planning of different games and events within the main party. As this character is very famous and lots of stories have been written, published, read and circulated through dramas and movies, we all know what games and activities we can drive out of this theme and subsequently plan the activities for the children. We all have watched the famous sequence pirates of the Caribbean and our heads are full of new ideas.

Just follow good advice and go for the pirate theme based event and your event will be a great success. Children would love to wear pirate costumes, play pirate games and behave like pirates. Your family, friends and neighbours will also remember the fun for the years to come.
