Day of the Dead Costumes
The common perception is that Day of the Dead skeletons are all gross and decayed, but that couldn't be more false. In fact, the departed on Day of the Dead are more likely to be decked out in their very best spirit world fashions than they ever were while living. That's why dressing up in a dapper Day of the Dead costume is so much fun.

The style of a Day of the Dead costume revolves around flowers, skull makeup, and all things pretty that will show you're celebrating the departed in the most stylish way possible. We have a wide range of Day of the Dead costumes for women, men and kids, plus all the accessories you'll need to complete your look.

For women, the Day of the Dead look usually centers on La Calavera Catrina, an elegant skeletal figure inspired by an etching done in 1910 by Jose Guadalupe Posada. His portrait of a fancy European-dressed skeleton was intended as satire, mocking those who had a tendency to put on airs of snobbishness even in death. Over time, the image of the graceful skeleton became the classic face of Day of the Dead celebrations.

To dress like a La Calavera Catrina, a woman can wear a beautiful white gown or dress with floral patterns and black lace. She can also add some skeleton gloves to her outfit, along with a hat that will enhance her femininity and elegance.

If you want to go a more sophisticated route, you can always dress like El Catrino, the male counterpart of La Calavera Catrina. https://www.dayofthedeadcostume.com/ 'll need a suit or tuxedo, a charro suit (what mariachis wear) or something similar to make you the dapperest dead guy on the block.

For children, we have a variety of colorful dresses that will put them in the spirit of Dia de los Muertos. If your child is more interested in dressing up like her favorite skeletons, you can get her this Girls Skeleton Costume that's just perfect for the holiday.
