Are you and your partner looking for a few Halloween costume ideas?

Travel back to medieval times and recreate the love affair between Romeo and Juliet. Similar to most Shakespearean characters, these costumes can be created from the most basic of clothing items. Here are some tips for both characters.

Romeo

Because most men aren’t willing to wear tights, you can recreate the ultimate lover boy with a pair of black or navy blue fitted pants. A loose fitting white shirt under a colored poncho or tunic for your cape is all it takes to complete this simple Halloween Costume.

Juliet

For Juliet you’ll need long fitted dress to mimic the medieval style of her gown, preferably with long sleeves in a bright color. You can enhance the effect with a capelet around your shoulders and a pair of flat slippers for your feet. You don’t have to make any major changes to your hair as it can flow loosely down your back or in simple braids.

When it comes to these costumes, the options are endless. If you’ve got a little extra time on your hands, you can create more authentic pieces that would make Shakespeare proud.
