Do you want to avoid the overcrowded costume shops this year? Or maybe you would like to use more time to choose a costume and not just to rush into whatever the sales person is trying to sell you?
Then, buying your Halloween costume online is a good option. As long as you know which websites to use. Here is a review of some sites where you can buy costumes for Halloween. Follow the guide...
Amazon.com
Amazon is the most natural choice (
click here to access directly the Halloween costume page). It sells a bit of everything, has a good reputation and everyone knows it.
I am not always satisfied with their choice of Halloween costumes (if I was, I would not write an article featuring 3 websites, I would just mention Amazon). Also some costumes sold at Amazon are quite bad, so you should check the reviews left by other customers.
Here are some costumes I like and that got positive reviews:
- for men:
Price (last checked August 2013): $58.12
A good and simple costume (just a robe) which will satisfy the fans of Star Wars (we are many of them aren't we?).
Price for L-size (last checked August 2013): $31.11
Not the best quality costume but good for the price and with many possibilities for extras (sword, shield, headband, ...).
Price for L-size (last checked August 2013): $29.95
A new and original costume. Comes in several colors. For mortal kombat fans, this can remind of Noob.
- for women:
Price for M-size (last checked August 2013): $31.28
Fits perfectly with the Halloween theme.
Price for M-size (last checked August 2013): $24.49
For fans of Pirates of the Caribbean.
HalloweenMart
HalloweenMart is more focused on Halloween costumes and accessories, so I like it better for this particular kind of products. The choice is wider and they cannot afford to feature a bad quality costume as it would hurt their reputation.
Here are a few examples but believe me, they have many more costumes to choose from:
Price (last checked August 2013): $34.99
A very nice costume to an affordable price. Totally fits with Halloween.
Price (last checked August 2013): $69.99
A bit more expensive but includes the vest, the cloak, the hat and the jabot (neckwear). Not only fits with Halloween but also with Sherlock Holmes (the movies, the game, etc...).
Price (last checked August 2013): $49.99
Sorry, as a guy, I just had to feature this costume. We are many to find this part of Star Wars sexy and this costume is rendering it very well. If you want some attention during the Halloween party, this is for you.
Price (last checked August 2013): $59.99
Another version of this character. If you want something less revealing.
This costume is on sale now for $20.00
Perfect for Halloween, it is scarier than the Glamour Witch costume featured above.
Frank Bee Costume Center
Finally, the
Frank Bee Costume Center is a great place to get any kind of costumes. It is not specific to Halloween but you can find some costumes that will fit with this theme.
Here are 2 examples:
Price (last checked August 2013): $39.99
Perfect for the fans of the movie Man of Steel.
Price (last checked August 2013): $47.95
A classic, perfect for a party (especially if you have the Lady Gaga attitude).
Conclusion
With these 3 websites, you will have already quite a lot of choice for your Halloween costume. I hope you will find a great one and wish you a happy Halloween!
