Mens Medieval Warrior Costume

Okay fellows, lean in, have I got something to tell you: women like a little bit of an edge on their men. They just love a bad boy. Not all of the time, mind you, but every now and then, they want to cast aside their sweet and sensitive, modern guy and find a rough and ready beastie. Want to show her how you stack up on the beastie scale? Opt for medieval warrior costumes for men at your next costumed event or maybe just next Thursday for a little bit of a twist.

Medieval warrior costumes are perfect because they work for every man of every size- from the meek and mild accounting who longs to beat his chest and say “Kiss me, wench” to the big old biker who is really just a teddy bear in disguise and every guy in between. No one is going to question that you are a bad, bad beastie and you may actually get to use that line before the end of the night. (Tomorrow you can wash the dishes and buy roses, tonight you are a warrior, dammit.)

Starting with the basics of the medieval warrior costume for men: most feature a leather and chain mail looking tunic, however if you shop the higher end shops and online boutiques, you might find that the tunics do actually have some real metal involved in them for authenticity. The trousers are typically brown and are meant to look like leather as well, however there are versions that have black pants instead and still others that are actually tights (how tough do you have to be to wear tights, I ask you?)  Whatever you do, do not slip on your favorite jeans or not only have you ruined a perfectly good costume but you will look like a dink as well. (The Queen of Halloween will laugh you right out of the party, I can promise you this.) Boots or plain black shoes are your best footwear choice here, not sneakers. If you grab your white kicks, you might as well be wearing bunny slippers.

Accessories are very important with this costume and can include a helmet- look for options online, however make sure that you will be comfortable wearing your weaponry. Look for realistic, (but not too realistic, please) weapons that fit the time period. You know there is always some history buff that wants to point out your anachronisms to the rest of the party. If this does happen, do not feel compelled to go medieval on him and beat him over the head with your mace or whatever you are packing- just let it go. Medieval costumes for men are supposed to be the right choice for releasing your inner beastie, not getting you sent to jail!

Cat Costume

If you say “cat costumes” to a group of people, the chances are that you will have a wide variety of thoughts that come to mind. To some, cat costumes are cute and funny, maybe a little playful. To some, the costume is nothing but sexy, skin tight and maybe a little leather, edgy and dangerous. To others, cat costumes are furry, as close to the real deal as possible. To me, the Queen of Halloween, cat costumes can be any and all of these, and I have got to admit, I have worn each of the varieties a time or two in my day. But, for those who did not know there was a difference in the variety of cat costumes, here are some pointers to help you out.

The Cheap and Easy Way Out

Not really a full costume by any stretch of the imagination, some people will pull on a black tee shirt, some black leggings and then add a little set of kitty cat ears and possibly a tail and call it a cat costume. These people are sad. If you do not have the time to find a real costume however, then this will suffice, in a pinch. Know that if you are spotted by the Queen of Halloween or any of my most devoted followers, you will be giggled at. A lot.

Cute, Cuddly and Very Easy to Pull Together

Cat costumes do not have to be over the top in terms of glamour or expense. With just a few additions, the “cheap” costume described above becomes a perfectly nice choice. Instead of the black tee, use a leotard or other fitted top (Unless you are actually a pregnant kitty) and make sure that you add the right face makeup, namely a cute nose and little whiskers to complete the look. Still easy, still relatively inexpensive, only now you are not being laughed at.

Sexy, Sassy and Beyond

Cat costumes have evolved over the years and what worked before may not work now. Thanks to Halle Berry’s rocking body in her cat costume, the look has gone to new levels of sex appeal. From Eartha Kitt, to Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer and finally, Halle Berry, the role of Cat Woman has given women something to aspire to and to try to recreate for their own costume. Skin tight, leather and always dangerous in black, the costumes tend to be sexy enough and tight enough to be worn best by the very bold, the very brave and the very buff. Keep in mind that the tighter the costume will be, the tighter the body going into that costume should be as well.

Over the Top

And finally, there is the literal take on the cat costume- the actual cat costume. Furry, fuzzy and adorable, the person who opts for this should have a great feline affection, a great sense of balance and of course, a fan because those furry costumes can get very hot.

Sorcerer Costume

Try to understand; try to understand…he’s a magic man. Ah, Ann and Nancy Wilson, you know what gets a girl, don’t you? Okay, so the Queen of Halloween is spouting the lyrics of Heart, a personal fave, thank you very much, and thinking of what to encourage her new fellow to wear, costume wise. Then it struck her, there is nothing more magical than a magic man; magic- sorcerer, it’s perfect and brilliant. It’s perfectly brilliant!

So, the Queen looked around online and found several examples of perfectly good sorcerer costumes, with one standing out as her decided favorite. Come on, guys, this one is great because there is not a lot of stuff to put on, and it fits all body types perfectly well. It starts with a purple cloak, usually covered with silver symbols of magic and mystery. Most of these costumes do come with a pointed wizard cap. To really look like a wise wizard, add in a flowing white wig and long white beard and you are perfect.

If you would like to be a more demented or evil sorcerer, use a black cloak and make the hair stand out a little more- think static electricity rather than gently flowing energy. For both sorcerer costumes, you can choose the props that you would like to carry- suggestions include a spell book, a wand and various magic bits in your pockets. If you can find them, carry small, clean glass bottles with interesting labels such as “dragon’s fire”, “frog breath” and other ingredients. (For an adults only party you could use these to carry your “tonic” if you would like, just make sure that someone else will be doing the flying on the way home.

Finally, please guys, (and I mean mine too on this one) do not ruin the look of your sorcerer costume by forgetting about your shoes. Nothing ruins the magic moment of a magic man than grimy sneakers or worse, sandals with socks under your cloak of mystery. Show up looking like that and you might as well be wearing the cloak of misery because you won’t be showing up with any of the ladies!

Dr Evil Costume

Every international man of mystery has to have three things in his life: a shagedelic, groovy baby to work his mojo on, some far out catch phrases and a ultra-sinister arch nemesis to thwart as often as possible. (Or, at least for as many sequels as you can muster.) Of course, every super spy will come up against countless interesting villains, henchmen and cronies during his adventures, but all of those lead him back to the head honcho, the super mind behind the super plots, Dr. Evil. Hey, throw him a bone he did not spend six years in evil medical school to be called Mister, thank you very much.

Dr. Evil, the psychopathic, egomaniac that is hell-bent on world domination and the thorn in Austin Power’s side, is a great costume especially for those who need to let a little of their mad genius personality out for a night. (We all have it, some just hide it far better than others.) Dr. Evil is hopelessly behind in the times, has an oddball fascination with the concept of sharks with lasers mounted to their heads and couldn’t pull of any of his schemes to save his evil life, but, bless his black and devious little heart, he keeps on trying over and over and over again. It’s almost cute.

To get the right look for your Dr. Evil costume, start with a bland, gray suit, preferably one with a high collar. You can find countless versions of the Dr. Evil suit online, including those that are officially licensed, however, you can also pull your own together if you prefer. No matter what you wear, make sure that you add in flat black shoes and the more important accessories and mannerisms to pull of the look to your best evil advantage.

Start with a bald cap- Dr. Evil is completely bald and completely smooth so if you do not have that as your natural look, then make sure that you are using a good quality bald cap to achieve it. Second, there is a large and rather thick looking scar on Dr. Evil’s face which increases his sinister appearance. Using a make up kit is a great way to get the scar right- just make sure that you are reading all of the directions before you start. Remember, some of the adhesives that are available can be very strong. Finally, make sure that you are using Dr. Evil’s catch phrases and mannerisms to set the tone correctly. Keep your pinky near your mouth as you make your demands and always be just a little off, no matter what you are asking for.

Moulin Rouge Costumes

It’s time to get out your copy of the movie Moulin Rouge and your best Moulin Rouge costumes for a good party. There is nothing like a themed, costumed party to get the day going and this is one of the most fun themes of all. If you have never seen the movie with the beautiful Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, take a day out to watch it before the big day. After all, you want to get the details right in every way.

You have several looks to choose from, from the really vampy and slightly campy Love Bites Vampire costume to the really, really brave and the can can dancer girl costumes for those who want to be a little more flirty and a little less flashy. Consider your personality before you decide which is the best for you- after all, you might not be able to pull off the high kicking moves, but you should still be able to pull off the sexy, sassy, seductive attitude that Nicole brought to the role. She did have all of the men vying for her attention, after all!

Even if you do not want to watch the whole movie for Moulin costume ideas, you can watch the Lady Marmalade video with Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mya and Lil Kim. You could even get dressed while listening to the music so that you are inspired to your let your inner showgirl/courtesan out for the evening. Your hubby will be so thrilled!

No matter what Moulin costume you finally settle on, make sure that you choose the right accessories. If your costume did not have accessories included or suggested, then look at the pictures from the movie to get an idea of what is right. You cannot go wrong with fish net stockings and high heels, of course and your makeup should be a little heavier than you are used to. If you have longer hair, tease it and wear it in a little messy tousled cloud around your face, but if you have short hair, you can spike it up and make a stand. If you prefer, a great wig is always a fabulous choice.

Make sure that you add a dash of attitude in with whatever costume you choose to wear- and you will really be the center of the attraction for everyone.
