Thinking of dressing up as a Japanese Girl this Halloween?

There’s something incredibly enchanting about the Japanese Geisha that has drawn women of different cultures to them for decades. They exude a confidence and an inner strength that clashes with their role in a male driven society, and carry themselves with uncommon grace and civility.

It’s this image of the Geisha, and of course their distinctive attire, that makes them an attractive option for costumers young and old, especially for themed parties. There are several variations of the Japanese girl costumes, but all of them maintain the same characteristics; detailed patterned dresses in rich colors.

These outfits can also be accessorized in several ways to complete their look. A more modern take on the Geisha is exemplified in the Japanese Girl Costume, with black satin robe trimmed in red, red sash, and black obi.

The kimono has a silver dragon etched into it, and the outfit is a striking ode to the old and new of Japanese culture and style. If the Geisha look isn’t quite what you’re after, there are other uniquely Japanese styles that are perfect for female costumers to dress up in. The Japanese girl Costume is a  wide sleeved kimono has intricately detailed flower designs, coupled with other mystical symbols.

It also comes complete with several accessories that some of the other outfits do not, including a wig of short cropped jet black hair, and a charming little fan.

Another traditional Geisha costume can be found in the Miss Kimono Adult Costume. This outfit features a long pink skirt, red kimono top with images of dragons and other symbols, and a matching sash.

The Harajuku Girl Adult Costume is wildly different from the traditional Geisha outfit, and exhibits the modern styles prevalent in and around Tokyo’s Harajuku district.

It’s an extremely busy outfit that includes arm and leg warmers, an oddly styled dress with quirky skull image and stitched on pocket, a cute little undersized top hat, and brightly colored sash. While not everyone will be able to guess exactly what your costume represents, it will surely be a highlight of any party, and is actually quite charming in its uniqueness.

For all of the traditional Geisha outfits, you’ll probably want to pick up the Geisha Makeup Kit, which is vital for achieving the white porcelain facial look the Geisha are well known for, as well as their bright red lips, red blush under the eyes, and starkly dark eyelashes and brows.

So whether you wish to express the traditional or the hip and modern of Japan’s feminine outfits, there’s a costume that can more than adequately do so.While the Geisha outfit takes some additional prep time due to the makeup requirements (though optional, the makeup is a huge part of the Geisha look and should not be passed up on), it’s more than worth it, as the Geisha is a stunning look when complete. For couples, pair your Geisha up with a Samurai for the perfect combo
