 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 pirate costumes. I use the term
“costume” loosely as I have no doubt that there are others out there, much
like myself, who prefer pirate costumes 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 costumes, 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 costumes, 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
costumes of any kind are easily recognizable, flashy and stylish. Most
pirate costumes 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 type of pirate costumes to a
party now a-days and you’re practically guaranteed to be in the spotlight
for sheer noticeability alone. On top of that, the flowy nature of pirate
costumes allow for comfortability 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 costumes. 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 one of your
pirate costumes down at the local whatever it is you do on Friday nights.
Thirdly, pirate costumes are noticeable, it’s a good conversation piece.
Twenty bucks says someone’s going to say something
about it and it is a positive and interesting way to meet people. And of
course, like all fashion, pirate costumes make 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 costumes and go
plunder some booty!
