If you want to dress up as Elvis Presley this Halloween, there are many sources you can look to for inspiration.
there are many variations of
the costumes that will be recognizable as The King of Rock and Roll.
in the beginning he would often wear a plain black suit. Provided the jacket was roomy
enough, and the pants were wide legged enough to show movement, the added hairstyle and attitude will be more than enough for a
decent Elvis costume. If you have no hair you will be able to find a nice costume wig to substitute.
In one of his first big hits, Jailhouse Rock, Elvis wore a modified jail costume. It combined a black and white striped
t-shirt worn underneath a dark work jacket with matching dark work pants. This will be recognizable from miles away provided you
create appropriate Elvis hair.
Elvis received his draft notice In 1957, and while he was able to defer his army service to finish filming "King Creole" he did
begin his service in 1958. There are a few variations on this costume and any of them will work. You'll want to find either a
standard olive green Army uniform with a wide round hat, or a beige button down with khakis and a forage or garrison cap. Also
remember all Elvis costumes NEED a professional quality Elvis wig.
just after his army service and before the jumpsuits of the 70's there is a famous photo of Elvis wearing an all gold
suit. The jacket is sleek and well cut and the pants are not fitted too tight. It's worn with a white shirt and a gold skinny tie,
and of course you must finish this look with a good head of Elvis hair. Any great Elvis wig(will do if you don't have hair, and keep
in mind people are using pink wigs as a new fad for Elvis hair.
One of his most well known and popular outfits is the classic white jumpsuit. This outfit is fitted with the exception of the bell
bottomed legs. The shirt has a deep v-neck that shows the chest and a high collar to accentuate his kingly neck and head.
Another of his most popular and well recognized jumpsuits is the royal blue one he wore with a cape. There is a great video of
him performing in this outfit showing off his dancing moves. The cape is a great accent if you're going to incorporate some of
his kung-fu hand movements and roundhouse kicks.
In his 1968 comeback special, Elvis wore classic head to toe leather. The pants were loosely fitted and flattering, and both the
jacket and pants were black. This image of the classic bad boy revived his wilting musical career and kicked up his sex symbol
