Many people become exceedingly frustrated when they are pressed to find an appropriate costume for a seasonal costume ball. Often resorting to old and stale standbys such as a "witch" or "vampire" because of their relative ease, creatively-challenged costume party goers always come up short when trying to impress friends and acquaintances by having trouble thinking "outside the box". Picking the perfect costume can be a challenge, but the fun feeling that comes from finding "the one" is irreplaceable. Many different aspects can make a costume desirable or attractive to a particular individual with, as always, creativity coming in to play.
A costume that is timely or in keeping with current events can always be a winner. Taking a page out of the headlines while giving it a comic twist is often a hit, especially in a politically minded crowd. Of course taste can come into play when mirroring current events. It may be inadvisable to wear a costume having to do with a recent tragic happening or at least having the readiness to accept and deal with negative fallout such a costume may inspire. Yet, one that is held in the collective consciousness as funny (a certain vice-president's hunting excursion comes to mind) just might become a surefire crowd pleaser.
Having a partner or mate that is also attending a costume party can really help to broaden horizons and increase creativity. Brainstorming with a friend or mate for couple-themed costumes can be a blast and shopping with a cohort can help raise the creativity and fun to higher levels. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, Ziegfried and Roy, Marilyn and Jack Kennedy, are but a few that come quickly to mind. Celebrity costume pairings are in abundance at local shops and can exponentially up the wow factor at any costume ball.
Shopping for that perfect costume can be as simple as visiting the local hobby store if feeling crafty, or as complex as visiting the local costume shop. Not only do many costume shops have a wide selection of purchasable outfits and accessories, some offer a back stock of more extravagant and expertly made specialty costumes that are available for rental for the evening or weekend. Often, employees at a costume shop can be an excellent resource as well for ideas. Also, displays and in stock items at a local store could provide the necessary inspiration to motivate the perfect costume for an upcoming event. Whether purchased, rented, or homemade, a thought-inspired and thought-provoking costume is attainable; it only requires a little time and energy to find the perfect fit!
