Always a favourite in the fancy dress world, you can choose from a huge array of superheroes and villains, including Batman, Robin, Catwoman, Joker, Superman, Lois Lane, Lex Luther, Spiderman, and Lara Croft. So why not make yourself the hero or villain of the hour by hiring a superhero or super-villain costume.
Historical
Whether you want to be a king or queen for the day, fancy doing your bit for the war effort as a 1940s RAF pilot, or want to go back to ancient Rome, there are hundreds of historical fancy dress outfits to choose from. So, the question is, boys are you Henry VIII, Louis XVI, an RAF officer, one of the three musketeers, or a Roman emperor, and girls are you a WREN, an Egyptian lady, Ann Boleyn, Cleopatra, or Queen Elizabeth I?
Fairytale
Whether you’re thinking Panto Dame or bride-to-be Cinderella, there are hundreds of different fairytale characters to choose from, so you should be able to find a costume that no-one else will be wearing. Here are a few of the more popular costumes available at fancy dress shops around the UK: Cinders in rags, Cinderella in ball gown, Prince Charming, Dorothy, The Lion, Tinman, Alice in Wonderland, Little Bo Peep, Snow White, Tinkerbell, Sleeping Beauty, the seven dwarfs, Esmerelda, Fairy Godmother and the Evil Queen.
Horror
Halloween is always a great time for a fancy dress party so if you want to dress to kill on 31st October, then why not consider going to your horror themed fancy dress party as Dracula, Bat Lady, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, the Devil, a ghost, an executioner, a mummy, a headless ghost, or a skeleton.
Animals
Fun for young and old alike, there are many different animal costumes to choose from these days, including tiger, bear, chicken, bumblebee, cat, lion, dinosaur, elephant, fox, reindeer, rabbit, hedgehog, camel, monkey, crocodile and dog.
TV, Movies and Music
Dressing up as a legendary TV, movie or pop star is always a good option because actors, singers and characters are such well-known figures that you should be instantly recognisable to the rest of the partygoers. So now all you have to do is choose from Elvis, Shirley Temple, a T-Bird, a Pink Lady, Ali G, Abba, The Beatles, the Blues Brothers, James Bond, a Bond girl, Bob the Builder, Dame Edna, The Darkness, Darth Vader, JR Ewing, and Vera Duckworth – to name but a few!
If you’re still not sure after reading all these ideas why not just opt for an angel fancy dress costume or a devil fancy dress costume, or go retro with 60s, 70s or 80s gear!
