Ideas for Greek Halloween Costumes and Accessories

Ancient Greek costumes are popular and easy to make. The classic ancient Greek toga makes the perfect costume for Halloween parties. Check out these easy costume ideas for ancient Greek goddess, Greek god and Greek warrior costumes.

Greek Goddess Halloween Costume Ideas

For an easy ancient Greek goddess Halloween costume, get a loose-fitting white polyester or rayon dress. Enhance your costume by sewing or hot gluing some gold Grecian trim along the neckline. Then find or make a golden rope belt. You could also use a belt with gold medallions to belt your Greek goddess costume. Make an upper arm band out of a chipboard box and spray paint it gold. Get some gold sequined trim to make a golden headband. If you prefer, get some silk foliage and make it into a crown of laurel leaves.

To create a sexy Greek goddess Halloween costume, get a very short white sleeveless dress or a white halter top and panel skirt with side slits. Wear the goddess dress with nude hose, white high heeled shoes or lace-up goddess sandals. You can also make a Greek goddess toga or chiton from a white piece of polyester fabric or bedsheet. Add accessories such as golden laurel leaves or a gold-toned crown.

Greek God Halloween Costume Ideas

It's easy to make an ancient Greek god Halloween costume from satin fabric or a bedsheet. For an even simpler Greek god Halloween costume, simply wear a long white linen gown and throw a red or gold sash over your shoulder. Create a Greek god laurel leaf crown by arranging some silk foliage in a circle. Bind the crown together, put it over newspaper and spray paint it gold. Use a gold rope to bind the waist of your Greek god costume. Wear sandals and carry a prop lyre to make your Greek god costume complete. For a sexy Greek god costume, just make your toga smaller. Pin it over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder bare. Arrange the skirt of the toga so that it comes no lower than mid-thigh. Wear briefs or a swim suit under your costume in case it falls out of place. Add accessories like a lyre or a golden staff to make your Greek god costume complete.

Greek Warrior Halloween Costume Ideas

An ancient Greek warrior Halloween costume is another one that you can make cheaply and easily. You can make a Greek warrior helmet out of cardboard, feathers and gold or bronze spray paint. Your Greek warrior costume armor can also be made from cardboard. You can fashion your entire upper upper armor, including the breastplate, pauldrons and skirt, using a large cardboard box. Also make the greaves for both the arms and legs out of cardboard. Spray paint the armor bronze. Hot glue elastic onto the greaves to hold them in place. Make your shield out of a garbage can lid. Spray paint it bronze, as well, and add any decorations you like. To complete your Greek warrior Halloween costume, carry an accessory like a prop sword or spear.
