[Halloween Costumes] Kids’ outfits: Latest and classic costume ideas (1–10)
Tanjiro Kamado

Dressing up as Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of the wildly popular anime Demon Slayer, is highly recommended for both adults and kids! It’s so well-known among children that it’s sure to be a hit.
Tanjiro’s trademark look is the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, which resembles a school cheering squad jacket, paired with a black-and-green checkered haori.
You can find kids’ versions of this costume on online shops, but you could also make a perfectly sized one using store-bought fabric! And don’t forget the hanafuda earrings!
Darth Vader

When a small child wears a Darth Vader costume—the iconic character from the film Star Wars—the contrast between the tough-looking figure and the child’s playful movements creates an adorable effect.
These are sold as costume sets, making them easy to obtain, which is another plus.
Since the character fights with a weapon, a prop weapon is essential, but it’s important to choose one made from safe materials.
Darth Vader is also strongly associated with his theme music, so play the track nearby to help them really get into the Darth Vader mood.
link

Link, the protagonist of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series, is strongly associated with his green outfit and triangular hat.
Since the clothing itself is simple, it’s easy to put together, and by paying attention to the finer accessories, you can further improve the overall quality.
As symbols of Link, a sword and shield are indispensable, so it’s important to focus on their design.
If you don’t want a child to carry weapons, you can opt for other motifs from the series—such as an ocarina—and it will still work well.
Anya

Anya, a popular character from the anime SPY×FAMILY.
She’s portrayed as a cheerful and energetic child, making her a perfect inspiration for kids’ Halloween costumes.
To create a cosplay of the school uniform Anya wears, use black fabric, fabric with gold patterns, felt, buttons, and zippers.
You can also use leftover fabric to make hair accessories or add a red ribbon to make the outfit even cuter.
It’s a simple yet glamorous and cute costume—have fun this Halloween!
Uta

A perfect choice for kids who want to try a colorful and cute cosplay is Uta, the character from the movie ONE PIECE FILM RED.
Dress in a girly, white-based outfit and wear her distinctive ear accessories.
Put on a long wig split into red and white, and your cosplay is complete.
It’s also fun to get into character as the songstress from the film and show off some singing and dancing.
The look is adorably childlike while also giving off a more grown-up vibe.
Try this glamorous costume that matches the Halloween stage perfectly.
Elsa

This is a cosplay of Elsa from Disney’s hit film Frozen.
The movie became so popular it sparked a social phenomenon, and many girls who watched it must have come to admire Elsa! It’s recommended not only for girls who love Elsa, but also for those who prefer blue over pink.
Become Elsa this Halloween!
bat

It’s a bat costume, a classic Halloween animal.
You can buy a costume, but it’s easy to make one yourself! First, make a cape with black fabric, and finish it by sewing the hem to resemble bat wings.
It’ll look even cuter if you sew on ribbons or sparkly accessories!
