I am talking about the period when the pirates of Bluebeard’s weren’t gathering booty from His or Her Majesty’s ships, marauding riches from every nation’s fleet, they were about to pompous their riches and making merry in Caribbean seaports where other nations dared not invade. Let me tell you about the pirate dress that was reflecting the scorn for the low-surviving people making rules as they went along, often burglary from one another as possible and getting into blade fights, sometimes losing eyes and even legs in these undefined battles. When the piracy finally came to a discomfiting end with most of its part, some of its moments also started fading up with memory. The pirates are replaced today with some romanticism shades and adventurous nature. Moreover, the Halloween evening is bringing back all the faded memories of pirates alive in different costume forms. 

While in reality, female pirates were scarce, on Halloween, there’s plenty of room in the neighborhood for girls in female pirate costumes to share in the romantic thrills. 
One of the facts of men and women pirate costumes is that they are always splashy. Let us have a look on some of the common things of women and men pirates’ costume. Let me start with the tri-cornered hat, typically black that always agreed the sign of the crossbones and skull. Also, the hats of women were highly decorated with long feathers/feather leaving those traditional ribbons than men. Moreover, the ordinary pirate crew members agreed to rely upon the scarves and bandannas instead of hats that were worn by their officers at large. 

All you boys and girls need a sword and a pair of swashbuckling boots. Feel free to  enhance that plastic sword with a row of jewels, fastened with a little glue. The flashier the better! 
Let us talk about some little distinction between girl’s and boy’s genuine pirate costumes. Boys have to buy an eye patch for looking like a man who has experience a battle near sea. 
As a girl you need to dress like more than ordinary women for showing the extreme feminine side of yours. Moreover you can add lots of lace, brighter colors, striped off the shoulder tees, fancy jeweled belts and more elaborate hats and jackets, heavy on the lace and decorative accessories. Show that you are not less than real pirate by wearing good jewelries.  

Pirate men generally dressed in a simple tunic shirt, left hanging outside long breeches, with a simply cut vest, affording freedom of movement on the high seas. Female pirates wore more tightly fitting garments, designed to show off a shapely figure. A fitted bodice and vest replaces the man’s loose tunic shirt and simply cut vest. 

Anyways, real pirate costumes are really affordable to wear on the Halloween evening and the appearance of it really makes you rocks.
