Angel

Angels are beautiful and ethereal creatures that are said to watch over us, and do God’s work. So if your fancy yourself as someone good and wholesome, why not be an Angel for next Halloween? An angel costume can be as simple or as complicated as you wish it to be, so long as whatever you’re wearing is white, and you have wings of some kind (even if the wings are painted onto the back of your shirt) everyone will get the idea of what you’re supposed to be. But on the flip side, if you wanted to be a ‘bad’ ‘dark’ angel you could dress in all black, with the addition of wings and have the same effect.

The best part about this costume ( I think ) is that different cultures interpret angels differently, so there possibly hundreds of ways to do it. You could dress casually, as if you were an angel that had come down to earth for a specific purpose (possibly to attend a Halloween party?) and had to blend in with the rest of humanity. Or you could go completely over the top with a flowing gown, or do something a little different like Gabriel in the movie Constantine perhaps?

If you really wanted to get into it, you could choose a specific angel to be and carry props with you to represent that specific angel. For example, if you chose to be the archangel Michael, you could bring with you a sword or wear some kind of armor, since he was one that is often portrayed as either a protector, or a leader of battles.

Remember, even if you’re not quite wholesome or innocent, you can still be an angel on Halloween; or at the very least, you can look like one.
