Magic Halloween With An Adult Wizard Of Oz Costume
The Wizard of Oz is a movie that children and adults alike loved. And so now, even 70 years after the movie was made, people still love to dress up in an adult Wizard of Oz costume for Halloween. Fortunately, there are several options for men and women who want to show their love of the Wizard of Oz at Halloween.
The Wicked Witch
For women, the Wicked Witch of the West is the most popular adult Wizard of Oz costume. She is the main villain in the story, and since she’s a witch, she’s a popular choice for Halloween. The Wicked Witch wears a black dress and pointed hat, and her skin is green. She carries a broom.
Dorothy
Another popular female adult Wizard of Oz costume is Dorothy. She wears a blue gingham jumper over a white short-sleeved blouse. Her hair is in braided pigtails and she carries a hand basket. And, of course, you can’t forget her famous ruby slippers!
Glenda, the Good Witch of the North
Many women also choose to dress as Glenda, the Good Witch of the North. She looks like a beautiful fairy queen in a pale pink ball gown, a tall crown, and she carries a wand.
The Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man
In the story, Dorothy has three friends: the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man. All three are male, giving men a variety of choices for an adult Wizard of Oz costume, as well. If none of these appeal to you, there is also the Wizard of Oz, who appears at the end of the story, who can be a fun choice for men, as well.
The Munchkins
These are the main characters in the story, but the first creatures Dorothy meets in the story are the Munchkins. Since there are so many, the Munchkins offer nearly endless possibilities for an adult Wizard of Oz costume.
Back to childhood
The Wizard of Oz is a timeless classic, both in book and movie form. The characters are fun and whimsical, and everyone remembers the first time they saw the movie. By choosing an adult Wizard of Oz costume for Halloween, you’ll be able to transport yourself back to your own childhood, and anyone who sees you will be transported back to their childhood, as well.
