When making a grand entry into the ballroom it is always well worth the effort spent finding the best outfit.
For a tall and elegant man with dark hair, vampire stories and movies come to mind. The Vampire Halloween outfit is always showy and elegant and in a class of its own. We don’t need to show blood. Remember Dracula was a charmer. Few other costumes can compete with a long and elegant black coat. It usually comes with a collar that sticks out behind the head. Perfect for our purposes. It has a red velvet waistcoat that contrasts well with black, well cut trousers. In fact, you can get the waistcoat and the cape separately to wear with a black designer suit that you may already have in your wardrobe.

Red velvet is a must for the waistcoat, which has two rows of golden buttons on the bodice. The stand-up collar is superb because it adds a some punch to the outfit and avoids dullness. Most suitable for a Halloween Party. Most vampires were dark haired, handsome and elegant people, who were sure of what they wanted : blood. Get long white fangs that stick out on both sides of the mouth. A wig and well trimmed moustache accessorizes the outfit nicely. Count Dracula stuff is quite outstanding so try a long sleeve white shirt with the Vampire Medallion hanging on the chest. The final touch could be some fabulous black to complete our dapper Dracula.
Fancy dress parties continue to attract the attention and form the themes for most parties today. In the 70s Movies, the cinema halls were full of avid movie goers who enjoyed watching Wild West adventures. They had characters with gun toting cowboys on horses as they trotted their way into the wilderness looking for the enemy camp. Those who frequented the movies found them enthralling by the toughness of the characters. Movies made the cowboys almost untouchable because they were sharp shooters with smoking gun barrels. Having these outfits from the 70s Movie characters is a good idea for a fancy dress occasions or costume parties.
The Wandering Gunman is an original idea for a 70s Fancy Dress costume party seeking to be a little different. It is an ensemble of the old style gunman with a gun holder or a wide belt with a holster. This straps neatly to the waist. The 70s Wild West movies always had the starring role with a stern face, one hand on the gun holster, ready to fire at the first sign of trouble. The trousers are jeans, either faded or blue. Then there are leather boots with a familiar metal grip on the back of the heels. The look is completed with a brown poncho of leather or woollen knit that has a cute pattern, but usually has tassels. Inside the poncho is the suede or sheep skin leather jacket.
The shirt is full sleeve and has a neck scarf for wiping sweat from brows, since the Wild West is a hot desert climate. Exactly who has the guts to challenge this guy. He strides into the ballroom ready to fight and has already subdued the enemy in his own mind. This style should be worn with a faint smile, a wide rim hat and a cowboy pistol in the holster.
Dan Aykroyd and James Belushi both got together for the film The Blues Brothers.
Both had a love of the jazz music of that period and an ability to sing. They decided to call their act The Blues Brothers. Hats were worn by Jazz PLayers of the 1940s and 1950s, together with the classic suits and these were immediately adapted as part of their look.
