The Wide World Of Shark Costumes?

Answer 1

Shark costumes can seem like a pretty strange costume genre. But if you use your creativity, there are a couple of ingenious ways that you can represent sharks at your next costume parties. Some shark costumes may confuse people, but for those that understand what you are doing it will be the hit of the costume party.

Hammerhead

One of the easier shark costumes to find is that of a hammerhead shark. It is mostly the exaggerated head piece and a dorsal fin for your back. What you do with it from there is up to you. Try things like a clown face for your hammerhead shark costume, or a cowboy theme for the hammerhead shark complete with cowboy boots and a hat. You can have as much fun with it as you like because, in the end, people will still recognize you as a hammerhead shark.

Not Quite Sharks

Some shark costumes require a little creativity but can be fun when people figure them out. Dress up like the character Quint from the movie "Jaws" and then make a large flexible Great White Shark head to wear from the waist down. People may recognize it as the way Quint was killed in the movie. You can also buy a Chevy Chase mask and pretend you are his "land shark" character from "Saturday Night Live." To complete the "land shark" costume you would make shark jaws from foam and walk around with them on your arms.

Great White Sharks

Your Great White Shark costume can be obvious or subtle. For the obvious approach you would buy a foam Great White Shark costume. For the subtle approach, you can dress up like professional golfer Greg Norman whose nickname is the Great White Shark. Norman's look comes complete with a broad-brimmed hat and white, sleeveless sweater. He has his own line of clothing that has a Great White Shark logo on it that will help add to the effect.

With some creativity, you can make shark costumes that are clever or scary. The best part is when people try to guess what your costume is as you walk around the party in white Golf shoes and a broad-brimmed white hat with a Great White Shark logo on it.
