Anime Costume Ideas

Looking for a hip and stylish costume this Halloween season? Japanese anime is very popular with teens and tweens, and lends itself well to the Halloween season.  Celebrate Express is one outlet for anime costumes.

How about a DIY school-girl look, anime style! First, choose an Anime Pop Princess Costume. Don’t forget to pair this costume with heavy-ish boots, too.

A anime wig is always an important accessory for a girl’s anime costume! There are many choices, from a geisha wig to a short green bob wig. The most popular colors for this costume are baby blue, pink, and lavender.  And don’t be afraid to be creative here; a Lola wig for example (from Hannah Montana) would make a perfect anime costume wig.

For the boys, you can use most any Japanese anime character for inspiration, from Pokeman costumes to Goku, the main character in Dragonball Z. Use lots of hair gel and clothes with Japanese characters on them to create this look.

Of course, Speed Racer is going to be a popular costume theme. Don’t forget party ideas for this movie as well!

Lastly, a ninja costume is fitting, and can be used on its own or as a starting point to create a favorite anime or manga character.
