Finding the right boys’ Halloween costumes can be challenging for parents as their sons’ interest constantly change. They might be into superheroes one day, only to move on to Harry Potter® the next.
According to a recently published article in USA Today, the top trending costumes for 2017 are superheroes and action heroes. Tied for the number-two spot were princesses and Batman®.
Coming in number three were animal-inspired costumes.1
Cool parents know it is important to get the right costume for their sons, so we offer the following tips:
1. Let your son pick out the costume. While you may want your little guy to dress up like a Sesame Street® character, they may have outgrown this and moved on to pirates or StarWars®.
2. If you are dressing up, plan your costume around your son’s. Kids like it when their parents choose costumes with the same theme. For instance, if your son wants to dress up as a superhero, you could dress up as an opposing super-villain.
3. Talk to other parents to find out what their kids will be dressing up as. Seeing a parade of kids dressed in Spiderman® costumes might seem funny to adults, but some boys will want to make sure they stand out. If they know how other kids are dressing up like them, they may change their mind and select something else.
4. Put your own finishing touches on the costumes you buy. When you purchase a costume, it might not come with everything needed. You will want to make sure to get other accessories and items to make it truly unique and authentic.
