The lion is the king of the jungle. His stately mane is a testament to this. But in the history of cinema, lions have been portrayed in many different ways. Probably the most popular cinematic leonine character was the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. Another popular lion is Simba from the Lion King. Let's talk about Lion Halloween Costumes.
Why dress up like a lion on All-Hallows-Eve? One reason is that it gives trick-or-treaters many choices. As we have seen, there are different kinds of lions. There are cowardly lions, fierce lions, cuddly lions, even sexy lions. You certainly couldn’t say that about an elephant or a shark.
Which should you choose? As you might expect, it all depends on your age and sex. For younger children and toddlers, the cuddly lion is the way to go. There are many different Simba costumes on the market that let kids dress up like their favorite Disney character.
One of the best things about the lion costume for children is that it is comfortable and impossible to lose. The reason for this is simple: there are usually no separate accessories. The standard costume for infants, toddlers and kids includes a single snap-close jumpsuit, attached mittens and a snap-on hood. And if you would like to add a few whiskers to your child’s cheeks, simply use some black eyeliner.
Believe it or not, the lion costume for adults is just as simple and as easy to assemble. Often made of polyester, the lion jumpsuit zips up from the middle. The only accessory is the matching headpiece and ears. The mittens are often attached to the jumpsuit. Like the kids, adults often enjoy a bit of lion makeup to complete the look. A few whiskers, maybe even some brown makeup is often more than enough. Again, the lion is a distinctive-looking animal and there is little chance someone will mistake you for another jungle creature.
As we mentioned earlier, another advantage of the lion costume is that it can be worn by both sexes. And while the cowardly lion was male, the sexy versions of the costume are almost always worn by females. These costumes are a favorite of young women who want to sport a sultry and original outfit. After all, the ever popular French maid and devil outfits have been done to death. But the lion is an original risqué choice for single party-goers.
What does the costume include? Unlike the other lion outfits, the sexy adult variety does not come with a jumpsuit, but rather a dress. There are also furry mittens, leg covers and a headpiece to compete the costume. A pair of brown high heels and some whiskers are also recommended.
In the end, Lion Halloween Costumes are an excellent choice for people of any age. There are outfits for babies, kids, teens, and adults of either sex. There are even some very sexy getups for women who want to set themselves apart from the pack, or pride.
