Dressing Up as a Pirate

Captain Hook, Sinbad the Sailor, Yellowbeard, and of course, Jack Sparrow. Popular names, popular pirates. They are also the reason why many people today are so into pirate costumes – even the women. Pirate style is usually popular when the Halloween season is just around. If you plan to be one of these people, you can always dress up in a woman pirate costume.
What makes your woman pirate costume different from Captain Hook and Jack Sparrow’s is that it does not look too worn out or old. In fact, you can even choose to be an elegant and sophisticated female pirate. You do not have to look as dirty as Jack Sparrow; you can be a glamorous female pirate.

The traditional woman pirate costume is usually composed of black skirt or pants and a ruffled blouse. Footwear is normally folded boots. Sexy pirate costumes normally have really short skirts or tight fit pants. However, what makes pirate costumes more interesting are the accessories that go with it.

The most popular woman pirate costume accessory is the sword. Adding a sword into your pirate outfit is something that can speak a lot about the type of pirate that you are. Another interesting accessory or addition to your costume is the hook (like Captain Hook’s). However, women pirates do not have to have a hook on their hand. The sword will do.

Wearing eye patches is something that can also be interesting. It will make you look more different that the other pirates in the party. Just make sure that you practice using the eye patch way before you will actually start wearing it. In this manner, the eye patch can serve as fashion statement.
Aside from the eye patch and the sword, another interesting woman pirate costume accessory is the fake teeth. If you base it on Jack Sparrow’s character, the fake teeth will be quite yellowish (suggesting that it hasn’t been cleaned for months – or even years. Well, the good thing is that you don’t have to really follow Jack Sparrows’ teeth. You can choose your own set of fake teeth. If you want fake teeth that is clean and good, you can have one. It really depends on you! You create your own pirate costume – and in the most creative and fun way that you can.
If you want to follow the traditional pirate costume, however, you will have to stick with the basics: black pants or skirt that falls on the knees, bandana or hat, sword, and folded boots.

The type of woman pirate costume that you want to wear is all up to you. Nobody can tell you how you should look. Well, of course, you will need to have the basic clothing needs and the accessories, like the white ruffled blouse and sword.
