Christmas Fancy Dress Costumes: From Santa Claus to Frosty

Of course, everyone knows that the most obvious choice for Christmas fancy dress costumes  is that of Santa Claus, but there are others that are just as festive and just as heartwarming as well. After all, the more common and popular a costume, the more likely there are to be some repeats. There has to be at least one Santa at every party, but there is probably going to be more than one, so make sure that you are just a little bit above the other options that show up.

Santa Claus

 There are two options for the Santa Claus costume: either buy it or rent it. Rental costumes are typically mid-grade and they are all basically the same. If you want to set yourself apart with a little better Christmas fancy dress costume, you need to step up to a little better than just the same old costume. If you can afford to do so, buy yourself a top of the line costume. You will get your wear out of it as year after year you pull the plush softness out of its storage and wear it once again. If you cannot afford to buy your Santa costume, you can set yourself apart by adding a little zing to your look. Try a sequined Santa hat or a flashing pin on your costume. Women can opt for the Mrs. Santa look in two varieties, the sexy look or the more demure, realistic Claus look.

 Reindeer and Penguins

Two of the favorite animals for Christmas fancy dress costumes are the reindeer and the penguins. If you need to set yourself apart as a reindeer at your party, add a flashing red nose and be Rudolph, the most famous reindeer of them all. To set yourself apart as a penguin, wear a hockey jersey with your black and white costume and tell everyone that you are a Pittsburgh Penguin.

Angels

Nothing is simpler when it comes to choosing a look for your Christmas fancy dress costumes than the angel. A simple white dress and a pair of gossamer wings, maybe  a golden or silver halo and you are ready to go. For a little extra flair, look for the white dress with feather or fur trim on the hemline or a little shot of sparkle throughout.

 Snowman

Frosty the Snowman is one of the most perfect Christmas fancy dress costumes because it is both a beloved character as well as an easy costume to accomplish. If budgeting is a problem, you can make your own by wearing white sweat pants, white sweat shirt and adding the perfect touches. Make sure that you have a black button nose and a black silk hat and you are ready to go.

 No matter what costume you choose to wear, make sure that you wear it with some flair and that you enjoy yourself for the entire evening.
