There's a chill in the air, and it's beginning to look a little like Christmas! That means nativity plays, office parties, 12 pubs of Christmas.. and lots more Christmas-related festivities. Many of these occasions require, or may be enhanced with, a costume. There is one costume which is particularly popular, and versatile for many different holiday celebrations. That is the Elf.

Elf costumes are great for many reasons. For starters, they are gender neutral so everyone will feel comfortable dressed up as one of Santa's helpers. There are lots of different interpretations so you can choose (or create) a costume to suit your individual style, while still conforming to the Elf look. They can be comfortable, warm and covered up but should you desire, you could also make them daring and sexy. Traditional colours include green and red but you can really use any colour to create the effect.
Not only are Elf costumes versatile, they are very easy to put together. To recreate the Elf look is really not too difficult and mainly requires a pointy hat. Once you have this, people will have a pretty good idea who you're meant to be. But should you want to take it further, you can add pointy toe shoes too. Elf's often have bells attached, and points extend further than just the hat and shoes. Elf costumes often have pointy hems on trousers, tops and dresses. Elfs also tend to have little pointy noses and ears, and there are accessories available to purchase to give this effect. Adding a little blusher or red paint to the apples of the cheeks or the tip of the nose will give that warm, fuzzy look that elfs often portray.
Lastly, to impersonate one of Santa's helpers, it is necessary to wear a smile! Elf's are happy folk, though they can be a little cheeky at times too. Having fun in your Elf costume will complete the look and bring joy to all around. Whether you purchase a costume and accessories, or get creative with it - Enjoy and spread the Christmas cheer!
