A Vintage Shopper’s Guide to BC
From movie-inspired creations to timeless classics, this year's crop of Halloween costumes has something for every ghoul on the block
It’s not just kids who love dressing up for Halloween. Year after year kids and adults alike rack their brains to come up with funny, bizarre, scary or super creative costumes. But if you’re overwhelmed and not sure where to begin, check out a few of our favourites from some of BC’s popular costumes stores.
The costume specialists at Just Imagine…Fun Clothing predict hobbit costumes will be big this year, in advance of the release of The Hobbit movie this winter. And for those who love to show off their patriotic side, they suggest you grab the warm and cuddly beaver suit pictured above. It’ll do double-duty and keep you warm if you’re out trick-or-treating with the kids.
Boo La La costume store in North Vancouver predicts Snow White – both the original and the sexy version – will be popular this year, as well as anything showgirl-inspired. For the men they suggest the ever-popular vampire-themed costumes and wearwolves with their creepy and crazy contact lenses.
