Given the duration of humanity’s shared history with the devil, it really is not at all surprising that Devil outfits are among the most popular at Halloween.
The figure of the devil, otherwise best-known as Beelzebub and Lucifer, has been with us since the dawn of humanity, and it s intriguing to observe that entirely unrelated countries have acquired their very own representational form of the devil, in spite of their being no cross-links between these people, either geographically or culturally. In the words of Jung himself, it would appear that the devil is an intrinsic part of our collective human unconscious, and an embodiment of man s potential to do evil.
If you do choose to go down the ‘Devil’s path’ there are a whole host of associated outfits that you may buy, from the more conventional to the downright outrageous! So, please don’t feel that you have got to be at all predictable when it comes to dressing up, as there are ‘alternatives’ available!
As earlier mentioned, it’s not necessary to limit yourself to those more common devil outfits, as there are a whole plethora of devil outfits available, including some fairly extravagant ones! The most popular alternative devil outfit is made for women, and it is essentially the sexy devil kind of outfit. Generally they’re a deep red colour, have short sexy skirts, and also include a long devil tail and of course, a pair of deep red horns to be worn on the head. Generally customers that go for this style of costume tend not to paint their faces red, or wear red lenses, as the main purpose behind the outfit is to look sexy and naughty .
We have also seen many customers that go to Halloween parties as a couple decide to go as a pair of devils . We think this is a fab idea, and these customers have given us great feedback about it! Just picture the reaction you will receive when you rock up to that party dressed as a couple of devils!? If you do decide to go down this path, may we suggest that you both practise your very best devil laugh so you can bellow this out when you initially arrive at the Halloween Celebration.
If you do decide to wear a devil outfit this year, its usually a good idea, in my opinion, to personalise it a bit. This might be in a quite simple form, by using an accessory or two. Alternatively you might take this to the extreme, and also change the design of the costume itself- add some additional color or details, or make it a bit shorter. Just by applying some facepaint, you can really change the look of your costume. You ought to be capable of finding these on the internet for free by doing a simple search on your preferred search engine.
Hopefully you will have found this article useful. Sometimes it s fun to be a little evil!
