5 Best Popular Costumes And Cosplay Party Ideas

Cosplay is well past the years that it is only thought of as nerdy. Now, people think of costume and coming as their favorite fictional characters as cool and hip. Below are some costumes and cosplay party’s themes to spice up an important event or occasion.

Fierce Females

If you have a friend who loves cosplay and costuming and who is about to celebrate a birthday or get married, you can throw her and all her friends a wonderful cosplay-themed bachelorette or birthday party. And nothing says like a strong, independent woman than guests coming as fierce female characters. Think past the femme fatale persona and more like superheroes and female warriors. And thanks to strides made by influential feminists, ladies have a lot more options for strong female characters to portrait. From Black Widow to Black Panther’s Shuri, Wonder Woman, and even the eccentrically crazy Harley Quinn.

Great Gamers

For the boys and girls who just can’t get enough of their video games, a gamer-themed party is going to be a hit. This party theme is going to push everyone’s creativity and imagination but at the same time make for one awesome night of interesting party guests. With the gaming world so vast, there are almost limitless options to choose from. There are the brothers Mario and Luigi, Ash from Pokemon, Minecraft, and Fortnite characters, from Zelda to League of Legends in yourcosplay.de, and so many more.

Sexy Superhero

What was easily associated with the nerd and geek culture a couple of decades back has now been embraced fully by the general public due in part to the popularity of superhero movies we see almost every other month. Superheroes now are cool and hip so why not throw a party with that theme and let people come as their favorite superhero or villain. From Superman to Ironman, both adults and kids will love to come to dress up their idols. For girls, there are female versions of superheroes as well like Catwoman, Batgirl, and Wasp. Even the notoriously anti-hero character, Deadpool, has options for both men and women.

Anime

When it comes to cosplaying, we can’t forget the originator; anime. Dressing up as your favorite anime character was once an exclusive activity reserved for comic book and anime conventions but now it’s perfectly acceptable to host parties that are cosplay costumes themed with guests coming as their favorite anime characters. From Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon, it’s going to be a fun time with guests guessing each other’s characters. This is the time to flex on your cosplaying skills and go all out with an elaborate look.

Very Strange Things

If you’ve not been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you’ll know that the very popular Netflix series, Stranger Things, is very hot right now. So much so that people have been throwing costume parties specifically with Stranger Things as a theme. What’s great is all the characters’ looks are easy to pull off. Just a few retro-inspired clothing, throw on a couple of vintage hairstyles and you’re done. If you want to step up your costuming game, you can come as the show’s antagonist, the Demogorgon.
