Thanks to the Walt Disney Company and its movie "The Little Mermaid," people now have a stereotypical image of a mermaid in their heads. The mermaid is supposed to be an attractive red-headed girl with sea shells for a bikini top and a long, shiny green fin. But mermaids, in one form or another, have been around for centuries. You can use some of that old lore to help create a unique mermaid costume for your next costume party.
Evil MermaidsThe common perception of mermaids is of happy creatures singing songs and falling in love with handsome human princes. But mermaids have been good and evil throughout history. Try a little twist on the popular mermaid costume to create an evil mermaid look. Make your hair spiked and uncontrolled to give yourself a crazed look. Use fake vampire teeth with fake blood on them to add to the menacing look. If you want go all in on the evil mermaid look then use contact lenses that make your eyes look red.
Gold TailGreen seems to be the popular color of mermaid tails, but gold was one of the primary mermaid tail colors back in the early centuries. When it comes time to pick out your tail color, go for the gold and make your costume stand out.
HairEarly drawings of mermaids pictured the creatures with very long hair because of the effect it gave when it was flowing in the water. Even if you have long hair now, accent the long hair by getting a wig that gives you the biggest and longest mermaid hair at the party.
MermenMermaids are sexy to guys and mermen are sexy to women. Guys should not pass up the opportunity to cash in on the mermaid craze and create a merman costume for the next costume party. The costume would essentially be the same as a mermaid with the difference being that you would not need the sea shell bikini top. However, if it is a comedic effect you are going for, then a guy dressing as a mermaid fits the bill.
Mermaids have been around for centuries and can make some of the most interesting costume ideas around. Make your mermaid costume your own by trying some new ideas and incorporating some old customs that have been forgotten.
