Top Ten Costumes for August

This month kicks off the very first monthly top ten list of costumes. Every month we’re going to bring you the ten most popular costumes from ShopCompareCostumes.com. Let us know what you think of the list in the comments!

August Top 10 Halloween Costumes

10. Hello Kitty Tutu Dress Toddler Costume

From Japan with love. Hello Kitty has been growing in popularity for a few years now in the US. So its no surprise this particular tutu dress costume hits the list at #10.

9. Tom Arma Monarch Butterfly

What better way to embarrass your child when he’s a junior in high school? A baby butterfly costume now will pay big dividends as blackmail material in adolescence.

8. Sexy Arabian Nights Belly Dancer Costume

It’s never to soon to learn the ancient art of belly dancing. Like one of those weird picture illusions that gives you headache when you stare at it too long, Belly dancers have been mesmerizing Arabian sheiks for centuries. Why not carry on the tradition?

7. Top Gun Bomber Jacket Costume

Looks like a little role reversal with this women’s Top Gun bomber jacket. What better way to switch up the cliche “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” stunt than having it performed by a couple of hotties?

6. Baby And Toddler Pinkie Poodle Costume

I don’t know if there’s anything cuter than a toddler dressed up in a pink poodle costume asking for candy door-to-door.

5. Dark Minion Costume

Changing themes for a moment, it seems a lot of people are getting in touch with their demonic side this month. Nothing screams “I’m socially awkward” at the office costume party like a satanic druid outfit. Or maybe you’re just being ambitious and letting the boss know you’re ready to do his evil bidding. Either way, go get ‘em!

4. Baby And Toddler Squiggly Piggy Costume

OK, I lied. There’s one thing cuter than the poodle. It’s a toddler in a pink pig outfit! Try not giving your best fun size candy bars to a munchkin wearing this getup on your front stoop, I dare you!

3. Dazzling Silver Flapper Costume

I had a conversation recently discussing why androgynous females were all the rage in the 20′s and 30′s. Apparently it’s because they had nothing to eat during the Great Depression. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about that nowadays, and even flapper costumes are made for curvy beauties.

2. Sexy Deluxe Red Saloon Girl Costume

This month’s #2 costume should be no surprise to anyone. The saloon girl costume has riveted generations with flashy fabric and distracting skirts. I’m pretty sure all the skirt swishing and bloomer flashing was just to keep patrons from thinking about how bad the bar food was in the wild west.

1. Kids Yoshi Costume

I remember when Yoshi made his first appearance in Super Mario World on the Super NES. That was just a couple years ago, so I was probably 20, or maybe 10. I don’t know. Anyhoo, apparently today’s kids think of that Yoshi the same as we think of the abacus. There’s supposed to be this newfangled Nintendo system where you move the controller around to make Mario jump. Sounds like witchcraft to me.

Runners-up

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention these up and comers.

11. Medieval Maiden Adult Costume

Forsooth, young lass! Ye has got to be kidding me with all that fabric and sowing. Did they really spend all that time creating such ornate maiden costumes during Medieval times.

12. Baby And Toddler Laura The Lamb Costume

I’m not sure why they went with Laura as the name for this little lamb costume, but it sure is cute!

13. Renaissance Lady Women’s Plus Costume

We’re winding down for the summer season, but plus size Renaissance costumes are still in demand!
