Pirate Fancy Dress Costume Ideas

One of the most popular modern film character costumes is the Jack Sparrow costume; the famous character from the Pirates of the Caribbean films is played by Johnny Depp & is famous for his strange, slightly whimsical personality, usually relying on wit as he tries to flee most dangerous situations.

The key to this costume are the additional accessories to accompany the main costume. Starting from the top the hat, dreadlocks, moustache and whispy goatee. Also some additional make up around the eyes will get you looking like the ledgendary character.

The rest is quite simple a dark 3/4 length leather jacket, nothing expensive in fact the complete opposite to have the desired effect. A normal white shirt again the more faded and used the better underneath, less empahsis on this part as it will be hidden underneath the jacket. You will then need two belts one across the waist and another over a shoulder, then its trousers and boots.

For the trousers use something that is too big for you, Pirates will always have baggy trousers and the emphasis is again on bad quality, if they are ripped and dirty then thats perfect, leather 3/4 length boots will be fine with your trousers tucked into them will almost complete the costume.

Every Pirate will need a weapon the mian two weapons to yield is a pistol and a pirate sword with a holster for both.

This template can be applied for boys as well as girls as the character in the film played by Keira Knightly is a good alternative. All that is left to do is to drink some rum, steal some treasure and force your friends to walk the plank!
