A Jack Sparrow Halloween costume is a fun idea for both children and adults. Younger children can modernize the traditional pirate Halloween costume with a few Jack Sparrow trademarks, while adults can have fun pretending to be the coolest pirate on the seas when they dress as Jack Sparrow for Halloween. The Jack Sparrow Halloween costume can be worn by both men and adventurous women.

Jack Sparrow Costume Basics

To create a DIY Jack Sparrow Halloween costume, there are a few basic steps involved. Look online for a photo of Jack Sparrow or watch one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies to get a good idea about which Jack Sparrow look you want to create with your Jack Sparrow Halloween costume.

Once you have decided on the look for the Jack Sparrow Halloween costume, begin to gather the necessary costume supplies and accessories. The Jack Sparrow Halloween costume needs a basic long black wig, black eyeliner and Halloween make-up, a long white loose shirt, black belt, tall black boots, a red bandanna, and a long black or brown pirate-style coat. A pirate hat can be added, and pants can be as simple as a pair of black sweat pants pushed up to the knees.

Accessories can enhance the Jack Sparrow Halloween costume. A skull ring, often found at discount and dollar stores in packs for Halloween, can be added. A pirate sword and sword holder can attach to a belt. Many pirate accessories found online and at local Halloween accessory stores can be added to any Jack Sparrow costume inexpensively.

Online stores such as www.spirithalloween.com, www.halloweenmart.com, or www.bestwigoutlet.com may be helpful for viewing potential Jack Sparrow Halloween costume pieces and accessories.

Jack Sparrow's Appearance

The Jack Sparrow look for a Halloween costume should be rugged and distinct. One of the key features of Jack Sparrow is his black eye make-up. Black eyeliner can be applied around the eyes, smudging it slightly underneath the eyes. A fake goatee can be blackened in with some black Halloween make-up.

A black pirate wig is essential for a Jack Sparrow Halloween costume. The best pirate wig for a Jack Sparrow costume will have long black hair and some beaded sections in the front. A red bandanna can hold the wig in place.

The Jack Sparrow Character and Personality

The Jack Sparrow character has an adventurous personality. Prepare to dress as Jack Sparrow this Halloween by practicing a few lines from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies to use while dressed as Jack Sparrow this Halloween. If you want to really add to the Jack Sparrow Halloween costume, consider adding a few friends to dress as Elizabeth Swann and Davy Jones this year.
