Mixing History And Fun With Native Indian Costumes

Every year, for Halloween, more and more women are choosing the Native American costumes, which have become available in an assortment of shapes, sizes and styles.The Native Indian costume is easily available in costume stores and also online due to its increasing popularity for Halloween. To get a complete and authentic look, other accessories should be used with the Native Indian costume, like Turquoise Jewelry, moccasins (Indian shoes) and some sort of feathered headdress. Mentioned below are some of the most important accessories that you will need to complete the look of your Native Indian costume.

Accessory #1: A long, black wig.

No Native Indian costume for a woman can ever be complete without a long black wig, unless you have natural long black hair, you can use a wig and style it in a single or double braid, or even let the hair fall loose.To make the look traditional, an authentic headband can also be added.

The second Accessory-Authentic looking jewelry.

Whether you visit a nearby Native American reservation or shop online, authentic looking Native American jewelry will really make your costume stand out. What looks best with your costume is natural looking jewelry with smooth stones and turquoise. A traditional looking choker or a long and flowing necklace, both would look good with your costume.To complete the look, use earrings with feathers, you can even use dream catchers.Instead of metal necklaces, ones made from rawhide or leather are preferred.

Accessory No. 3- Face Paint

Women shouldn’t go overboard with this, since it will detract from the attractiveness of their look, but a few bold red stripes across the cheekbones on either side will certainly make your Native Indian costume more striking. You can use a simple cream blush stick or rouge to accomplish this look, or you can opt for a tube of face paint from your local costume shop.

Accessory No. 4-Fake weaponry and props

Your local toy shop should be well stocked with Indian toy props like a tomahawk, peace pipe and small plastic knife, if you cannot find the accessories at home. While you’re there, consider picking up a fake bow and arrow set too. To complete your character’s look, foam-tipped arrows are a must have, and they can be great party favors too.

The fifth Accessory-Moccasins (Indian Shoes).

Leave the flip flops and sneakers at home and instead don a set of Indian Shoes, better known as moccasins. These are available at a lot of costume shops along with the Native Indian costume. If yours doesn’t, you can find them at a lot of shoe stores and definitely online.
