Army Halloween Costume Ideas
Army Halloween Costume Ideas
For a costume that stays close to your everyday style, army costumes may be the ideal option. Not only are these uniforms fun, but they're also highly patriotic.
Military Halloween costumes come in an array of styles.
Some are inspired by actual military uniforms, while others feature more modern
looks that are both stylish and sultry.
Green Army Cap
The Green Army Cap is the perfect way to add some style and panache to your military costume. Crafted from heavy washed cotton, this cap has a pre-curved peak, adjustable fabric strap with metal buckle and grommet, plus an expansive front brim for extra ventilation.
Not only is this
cap perfect for Halloween costumes, but also beach days or other outdoor
activities as it keeps you cool while showing off those best feet! This
must-have item makes an excellent gift too - all it takes is some patience
getting the size right; however, taking only minutes can make all the
difference!
The original WW2 Army uniform consisted of a dark olive-drab gabardine wool service coat with light-shaded drab trousers and cloth belt.
This belt replaced the leather Sam Browne belt as an integral part
of the uniform; it served to show rank proudly! Additionally, laborers and
prisoners-of-war camps often donned this same uniform; however, due to losses
during WWII many soldiers switched over to more conservative dress green
uniforms instead.
Green Army Man
Green Army Men are an iconic costume choice for Halloween that has been around since the 1950s. Dress them up like one of these timeless icons!
This DIY costume is super-easy to make and guaranteed
to please your kids! Not only is it inexpensive, but can be finished within 20
minutes!
Start with elastic waist pants, a button up shirt and
some rain boots. All other items can be made from fabrics found at home.
There are kits that do not come with traditional combat gear, but
it does include a faux flak jacket that will look awesome as you stand guard
over your friends. Plus, its dog tags add an authentic commando touch!
For years, the US army has been testing out pixelated
camo patterns. While some of these designs have been widely adopted, others
have not fared so well.
Combat Boots
Combat boots are an indispensable element of any
military uniform and fashionista's wardrobe.
Your army Halloween costume can be completed with these boots and other items to look like it was plucked straight from a military field. The combat boots themselves are made of sturdy, tan-colored leather that's suitable for any type of weather conditions.
Combat boots are incredibly versatile and can be paired
with anything from jeans to dresses. If you're wearing a dress, try fastening
your combat boots onto the waist with a belt; this will keep your pants from
bunching up too tightly.
