Pirate Costumes Jack Sparrow Style ?

Answer 1

Arrr Mateyes! Tired of run-of-the-mill costumes and want to experience a little pirate fashion, Jack Sparrow style? Well, if you want to achieve Jack's look, you'll have to be willing to accessorize. It doesn't have to take a lot of money, or a lot of time, but a few details are a must if you want to pull off a true "Sparrow of the Hun" look.

For starters, assemble the basics. These can easily be found in your closet, or perhaps purchased for a few dollars at a resale shop. For jack-like trousers, try any type of light brown pants. Pair that with a white shirt, the top four buttons undone and the cuffs left open, and you'll have the perfect first layer.

Some of the Caribbean Captain's cool accessories may also be improvised from items lying around the house. Have an old brown jacket? Cut off the sleeves and throw it over the white shirt, making sure to leave it open in the middle. Jack prefers the "relaxed" look. For his sash, purchase an expensive piece of faded red or off-white fabric, rough it up a bit and cinch it high around your waste-line. Fray the edges of the fabric and let it hang off to one side. Add a brown belt with an bold buckle and sling it low on your hips. Some black eye-liner smeared around the eyes and you're well on your way to completing your Jack Sparrow transformation.

Jack's hair is another story. Unless you naturally have fourteen inches of gnarly dreadlocks and a long beaded beard, you may want to check out a few on-line costume suppliers. Most offer excellent choices for Jack Sparrow hats and dreadlock wigs. Then decide if you want to go for Jack's casual look of a simple scarf tied around the head, or his dressier three-cornered hat. If it's that hat you want, best check out some more on-line suppliers. For the sporty headscarf, just use some bright scrap material and wrap it around your head.

While you're browsing on-line sights, check out other accessories such as the a menacing-looking Jack Sparrow sword, Jack Sparrow faux suede boots, a pirate pistol to tuck in your belt, and a Jack Sparrow gold ring. We all know Jack would never leave ship without his ring!

Of course, if you want more than just accessories, many on-line suppliers also offer the complete Jack Sparrow costume for both children and adult pirates. In addition, they sell accessory kits that include a few Jack Sparrow extras such as: gloves, compasses, jewelry, and even a Sparrow tattoo. Remember, the devil's in the detail!

So, all you scurvy knaves, if you want to walk in Jack Sparrow's boots, you've got to pay attention to the details. Sparrow leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accessories and you shouldn't either. After all, if you don't look authentic, you might have to endure the curse of the black pearl; or worse yet, you might find yourself forever doomed to Davy Jones' Locker!
