 There
are many things that make people think of pirates; be it a ship, a Jolly
Roger flag or the good old use of the word “ARRRRR!!” However, I don’t think
there’s anything more noticeable than the costume itself, pirate clothing. I
use the term “costume” loosely as I have no doubt that there are others out
there, much like myself, who prefer pirate clothing to their standard 9-5
attire.
After all, what’s not to like about a creature what gets to sail the seven
seas in pirate clothing, looking for loot, cutlass in one hand and a wench
on the other? Nothing, that’s what. Pirates have become so popular that
they’ve invaded most aspects of our pop culture; from movies and music to,
of course, pirate clothing, jewelry and other such awesome trinkets to adorn
oneself with.
It’s the first thing you see, unless you’re headed for a battle at sea, but
I’m assuming that you’re not. This brings me to my first point; pirate
clothing or garb of any kind is easily recognizable, flashy and stylish.
Most pirate clothing today consists of black, red and white. Those are
rather striking colors that go well with most anything and the cut is of an
almost gypsy-esque style for added flair. Wear any pirate clothing to a
party now a-days and you’re practically guaranteed to be in the spotlight
for sheer notice ability alone. On top of that, the flowy nature of pirate
clothing allows for comfort ability and ease of movement as well.
Secondly, it is a mix and match sort of style, which is rad if you only have
a few pieces of pirate clothing. You can easily make more than one pirate
outfit out of those, plus some other stuff that I’m sure is floating about
your closet. A scarf here, some jewelry there, and an extra belt just for
good measure and you’re ready for a night of plundering booty in pirate
clothing down at the local whatever it is you do on Friday nights.
Thirdly, pirate clothing is noticeable, it’s a good conversation piece.
Twenty bucks says someone’s going to say something
about it, it is a positive and interesting way to meet people. And of
course, like all fashion, pirate clothing makes a statement about you
whether you’re going all out with your pirate crew or just in a bikini to
the water park to loot the locker rooms for all the gold doubloons you can
find.
So what are you waiting for? Get yourself some pirate clothing and go
plunder some booty!
