Kids Pirate Costume Essentials

• The Pirate hat - Always best when designed to either have a skull and crossbones on it or adorned with ruffle feathers, gold, and red ribbons
• Vest or Jacket - A leather looking vest and jacket gives the classic rugged pirate costume its main appearance. Long sleeves with ruffled and large cuffs bring the costume into the age of the swashbucklers.
• Black boots – Every classic pirate costume has a pair of black or dark colored boots. Best if they go up to past the shins or near the knees.  Pirate boots should have a loose look to them and even be adorned with brass buttons around the top.
• Accessories – Pirate costume accessories are essential. These allow your little treacherous buccaneers to really be unique.  A sword is the most common item to carry for a little pirate, a over curved sword, while less realistic often is the typical sword that people recognize for a pirate with a gold colored handle. The classic pirate hook is another option, but don’t get a hook and a sword as then there is no way to carry a basket for all their Halloween loot.  Some pirate were known for wielding double guns and paired with a holster this can be a fun accessory.  Don’t forget a pirate parrot accessory can be fixed on the shoulder or a pirate gold tooth for that kid that loves to smile.
