    Learn More About Costume Hats & Headpieces

    From a fun neighborhood Halloween party to a highly anticipated masquerade ball, costume headpieces and hats put the finishing touch on your disguise. These costume accessories are worn on the head to help tie your look together. Whether you’re planning to dress up like a comic book character or a cowboy, a costume hat adds a fun element to your final look.


    This headwear is made specifically for dressing up, and it’s not likely going to be something you’d wear with an everyday look. Browse the shops on Etsy to discover an inspirational assortment of costume hats and other accessories that are designed for your next special event.

    When you’re looking for the perfect hat or headpiece, choose something that matches your costume’s style. Try a firefighter costume helmet or a police officer costume hat if you’re planning to dress up like a local hero. Choose a classic costume cowboy hat and wear it with a gingham shirt, some vintage denim, and cowboy boots to tie it all together. A witch hat is a classic choice if you’re planning to dress up like a cackling, iconic Halloween character.


    For those aiming to go for a vintage look, try costume top hats with a tall shape and a dramatic black color accented with some ribbon trim around the brim. Wear your new top hat with a stylish tuxedo or a vintage suit to recreate a look worn during eras gone by. Snag an adorable, colorful costume mushroom hat with polka dots on the top if you want to dress up like some fungi or a popular video game character. A custom-made costume tiara or crown will help you dress like royalty, while an ornate dragon-inspired headpiece brings your look right to medieval times.

    Once you’ve found the ultimate hat or headpiece for your costume, it’s important to make sure that it stays securely on your head. Choose a hat with a strap that goes around your chin or use clips or bobby pins underneath to hold the hat in place. Make sure the hat fits your head snugly without being too tight and that it doesn’t cover your eyes (unless it’s a full-face headpiece).


    Select something with a wide brim if you’re dressing up during the summer to keep the sun out of your eyes. A warm, snug costume hat with a thick lining will keep you nice and warm for Halloween, Christmas, and other fall and wintertime holiday costume parties.
