What is more fun than masquerading? Ok, maybe masquerading as a couple! Nevertheless, you need some new ideas because everyone wears the same old costumes every year and this year you want to turn heads and look fabulous. Therefore, a couple costume idea -Dress like a Greek God and Goddess! Remember how popular "300" and "Sparta" were? Nothing says elegance and romance than those amazing Greek outfits that look incredible on almost anybody! Ah, the descriptions from Homer's Odyssey of silver and gold threaded garments, the mythological tales of antiquity, the Muses, the God and Goddesses of Greece, Rome and Olympus! There is a reason why they are still so popular!
You can go online and search out the perfect pair of costumes that will compliment each other but let us look at a few tips and ideas first. Half the fun of Greek costuming is all the cool accessories that pull the basic outfit together. Greek and Roman Deities had not only special names assigned to them but also animals and sacred symbols as well, known as "attributes". For instance Hermes, the cunning God of trade, is often seen with winged sandals. Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love was assigned a Dove as her "animal attribute", so you can add all sorts of ultra cool extras to define exactly who your character is by putting "Greek Gods" into a search engine and then picking your favorite after reading a bit about each one.
In addition, each one had a spouse or significant other making them the perfect choice for couples. Moreover, they all had children, or a Muse, or a sidekick, so you can find any combination for two or more in your crowd that want to go as a related team. Have a look at Poseidon, the moody God of the sea; Apollo, the God of the Sun and of Music; Athena, Goddess of the arts; Hades, the malevolent God of the Underworld; and Artemis, the Goddess of the hunt, and that is to name but a few! If you play a musical instrument, check out the Gods and Goddesses of music and display your talents along with your costume.
Even better, Gods and Goddesses existed in all ages and sizes so no matter your years or your girth, you can find one who is your perfect doppelganger! Wigs, makeup, swords, shields, hair wreaths, crowns, and jewelry are also available to make your costume as authentic as possible and put you in award winning mode! Do not get the idea that all those Greeks wore was white either, that is just the color of the statutes! Those elegant gowns, togas, and soldier attire were colorful, comfortable and oh so attractive!
Now you know the key to being trendy, looking hot, feeling comfortable, and upstaging all your friends! Find your favorite ancient hero or heroine and start making memories!
Go out and have fun this year for Halloween. Shop online for greek costumes or spice it up with an greek goddess costume
