Fourty One - Retro Cat, Halloween Costumes From The 50s Era

By Alexis Williams


Remember the so-called "good old days" this year by putting together 1950s Halloween costumes for yourself and for your family. If you do not already own a greaser wig, poodle skirts, or any hot rod cars, do not worry. It is easy to start from scratch. Well, we can' really help you with the hot rod, but we can help you with the garments! Add a little personal touch, and consider making it a family affair. Your family's 1950s Halloween costumes will surely turn heads



As long as you remember a few simple rules, you can make your 1950s Halloween costumes as unique as you want. And don't let the social divisions of the day stall your efforts in choosing a design style to follow. The 50s have long gone; go with costumes that you will feel most comfortable with.

Get those men together, throw a leather jacket over a white t-shirt and watch them show off their best John Travolta from "Grease" impersonation. You can even go all the way to the other side with it and dress the guys in pocket protectors and bow ties. This 'nerd' look is just as much a representation of 1950s Halloween Costumes as those that are 'cool'.

Ladies have similar options. There is the obligatory 1950s cutesy poodle skirt with a blouse and white socks. Consider making a matching purse or adding a ribbon to your hair to complete the look. If all that wholesome goodness is enough to make you ill, consider the alternative. Play the part of the bad girl instead with tight pants with your own Pink Ladies jacket.

Children can get in on the nostalgic fun of 50s Halloween costumes as well. Little girls can sport poodle skirts. For an extra dose of the sickeningly cute, mother, daughter and sister can wear identical skirts. Little boys could choose a pair of thick, fake nerd glasses or could go for the greaser look as well. There really is nothing that makes people smile more than a miniature Fonz. Eyyy!

So what if you think the 1950s were only about conforming; now is your chance to take the bland out of the decade. Jazz up your family's costumes this Halloween. Add extra studs and gems to all the 1950s Halloween costumes for a more impressive display.

If you really want to impress them this year, why not try speaking the language of the 50s. It wouldn't take long to get online and pick up some hints on catch phrases of the day. Finding out patterns in the speech of the time can add an extra dimension to your 1950s Halloween costumes. Folks will see you and feel like they've stepped into another time if done right.

1950s Halloween costumes are a great idea for a fun way to dress the whole family. They can be simple or have high degree of difficulty. Choose costumes that represent the era well and work on speaking the verbiage of the day; do this and your family will have a ball embracing the nostalgia of wearing 1950s Halloween costumes.
