Keep everyone cozy and healthy by choosing warm Halloween costumes for that cold trick or treat night.
A warm cloak can be the perfect addition to a huge assortment of kids costume ideas. Vampires, witches, wizards, elves and warriors can all drape a warm robe around their shoulders without breaking character.
Thankfully, the popular princess theme doesn't have to be sacrificed for the winter air. Any princess outfit can easily turn into a winter-friendly costume. Just add some long gloves and a warm cloak to her flowing dress and glittering crown.
Cold Halloween nights are the perfect opportunity to dress up in one of those elaborately shaped costumes. Most of the time you would drown in a sea of sweat if you wore a big pumpkin, apple, banana, bowling ball or robot suit. On a chilly night, though, all that extra padding will come in handy.
If you know you'll be facing brisk weather, why not try a natural way of protecting yourself? Take a hint from the wild and dress up as an animal. A full monkey suit, cuddly teddy bear or fuzzy cat costume will cover you in warmth from head to toe.
Halloween masks are another great addition for a cold trick or treating night. The masks not only give you a great disguise, they help warm your face and protect your skin from heavy winds. If you purchase a full-head mask, you don't even need a hat or scarf!
If you already have a Halloween costume picked out, but are nervous that you'll freeze, try some layering tricks. A pair of long johns can be slipped on under almost any costume to create extra insulation.
