With Halloween right around the corner, it’s time to prepare your children’s costumes for a fun night of trick-or-treating. But while typical Halloween costumes can be pricey and uncomfortable, there’s an easy alternative: Stelle!
Our selection of girls’ activewear is the perfect foundation for a variety of adorable, affordable, and comfy costumes, from beautiful ballerinas to sports stars. Let’s take a look at why kid’s athleisurewear works so well and some of our favorite ideas for turning it into costumes!
Why Children’s Athleisurewear Makes Great Costumes
When it comes to Halloween costumes, children’s activewear makes sense.
First of all, it’s more affordable! A store-bought Halloween costume can cost a small fortune, all for a few flimsy pieces of fabric. But our children’s athleisurewear is highly affordable and high-quality, so you always get your money’s worth.
Additionally, those flimsy Halloween costumes don’t do much to defend your child against the autumn chill, leaving them vulnerable to sickness and discomfort. But when you create a costume from active or athleisurewear, you can choose fabrics that protect your child from the cold weather, helping them have a fun and healthy time.
And don’t forget about the comfort factors! Halloween costumes are notoriously scratchy, ill-fitting, and uncomfortable. But athleisure is known for being soft and cozy! And who doesn’t want that?
Last but not least, Halloween costumes have limited use cases. Chances are, your child will only be able to wear it once and then never look at it again. But when you create a costume from athleisurewear, your child can use those items later for playtime, sports, special events, and more!
How to Turn Children’s Activewear Into Fun Costumes
Now that you know why we’re such big fans of athleisurewear for Halloween, let’s take a look at some of our favorite ways to turn those clothes into fun, cute, and comfy costumes for your little girl!
A Beautiful Ballerina
A timeless classic, ballerina costumes are beloved by little girls everywhere! And luckily, we have plenty of gorgeous leotards, tutus, and shoes in stock to make her dancing dreams come true.
With the colder fall weather, we recommend a long-sleeve ballet dress with an attached skirt for added warmth and convenience. However, you could also pair a sparkly leotard dress with a dressy shawl or jacket to add warmth to a short-sleeved ensemble.
Don’t forget warm tights to keep her little legs toasty and the perfect pair of ballet shoes to complete the ensemble!
After Halloween, she can use this same ensemble to pursue her dancing career, play dress-up, or put on special performances at home!
A Sports Star
Is your child looking for something a little more rough and tumble? Send her out as her favorite sports star or fan in a costume that’s sure to be a home run!
Black leggings go perfectly with most jerseys while ensuring your child can move freely and stay warm for the night. But if you live somewhere a bit warmer, volleyball shorts are another comfy choice for bottoms.
If she prefers tennis or golf, set her up with a racquet or club, visor, and a cute skort or tennis dress for a quick and easy tribute to her favorite female star!
Don’t forget a comfy pair of tennis shoes and a sporty jacket if the weather calls for it.
Once Halloween is over, these clothes are perfect for sports practices and other active occasions!
A Custom Superhero
Branded superhero costumes are always popular but can cost a small fortune. Thankfully, creating a unique superhero costume for your little star is super simple!
First, choose a colorful leotard for the base of the ensemble. We have lots of options, so your child can choose her favorite! Be sure to add tights for warmth and more hero-style points. Finish off the look with high boots, a cape, and a mask for a power-charged outfit that’s as cute as it is comfy!
Don’t worry; your child will get plenty of use out of this outfit, too! Tights are a cold-weather essential for fancy occasions that call for a dress. And that colorful leotard will be perfect for her first ballet lessons, gymnastics, or playing at home!
A Pretty Princess
Is your little princess looking for an outfit worthy of her title? We’ve got costume ideas for her, too!
Our long-sleeve twirly dresses in royal purple or pink are warm and elegant. They create the perfect foundation for a simple ensemble paired with a tiara and princess jewelry.
But if she wants something with a bit more magic, this sparkly leotard dress is just begging to transform her into a fairy princess with wings and a flower crown.
Of course, every princess deserves the perfect pair of shoes, like these sparkly princess sequin sandals or glittering Mary Janes!
And yes, these items go a long way beyond Halloween, too! Our twirly dresses are perfect for special occasions and holidays because they’re comfy and cute! And the same thing goes for our Mary Janes. They may be sparkly, but we designed them for comfort and durability so your child can enjoy them all the time! Last but not least, the adorable leotard dress is just begging to be shown off during any dance performance.
