Choosing an Unforgettable Nurse Costume
Choosing an Unforgettable Nurse Costume
The best Halloween costumes all have a few things in common. It isn’t hard to select the perfect costume when you understand what really goes into picking a winner. Here are three great pointers you can use to choose an absolutely unforgettable costume.
* Tip One: Remember where you’re going and what you’re doing. The best Halloween costumes work because they hold up all night long. Are you going trick or treating with the kids? Make sure you have something in which you can walk comfortably–and that won’t fall apart. Heading out for a Halloween party with a DJ? You better be able to do the monster mash without make up melting off of your face or risking suffocation under an unyielding plastic mask. You get the idea. Think about how long you’ll be wearing the costume and what you’ll be doing in it. Be certain that your costume will hold up under those conditions.
* Tip Two: Think about your “audience”. The best nurse costume succeed because they make a real impression on those who see it. You want to be well-received, so you need to think about who’s going to be seeing you. If you’re going to a children’s school party, you should probably leave that naughty nurse costume in the closet. If you’re hitting an adult party or going clubbing, on the other hand, being a sexy witch might be just what Dr. Frankenstein ordered. It’s not wise to show up as a hideously deformed, bloodied monster when toddlers are around. The concept is simple. Plan your nurse costume based on its “audience”. Don’t show up in something that won’t fit the mood or anything that might offend others a little too much.
* Tip Three: Don’t be too clever. You see it all the time. People show up to a gathering wearing a “costume” that no one really understands. Coming up with a unique idea is fine, but you want your costume to be easily recognized. There’s nothing worse than being forced to explain what should be an obvious visual message to people again and again.
