We love dressing up and particular occasions give an excuse to copy characters from the past. For example Halloween allows us to recreate witches and wizards from legendary times and have a party in which we play all sorts of Halloween games.
The range of costumes now available shows the recent surge in popularity in dressing up for a party, particularly at Halloween time. It's not just kids that like to dress up.
Halloween has probably been the one event that has drive the love of costume to such great heights. Trends show that we indulge more then than Christmas, in fancy dress activity.
Mention costumes and Halloween is the first occasion that spring to mind. You just need to take a look around to see how this has taken such a strong hold on our activity around the 31st of October. Those in medieval times could hardly have imagined how their style of attire would be celebrated today.
Don't think that Halloween only means witches and ghouls. In fact all character costumes sell strongly in the build up to Halloween. Kids will pester for the latest batman or Spiderman outfit for that up and coming Halloween party and they simply must have it. No wonder it's a bonanza for commercial companies

A new costume theme is cosplay, where costumes are designed on video game characters.
