Trending costumes for 2016, film characters always a safe bet
Whether you’re planning a house party or organizing a night on the town, entering October there’s no doubt most people will begin thinking about Halloween costumes and creative house decorations. Though the immense options can be overwhelming, we’ve teamed up with Party City and Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores to explore the hottest costumes in 2016 for both children and adults.
With the recent release of several blockbuster movies such as Alice Through the Looking Glass, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Captain America: Civil War, character costumes are enjoying a rebirth in a variety of trendy alternatives, as are the more traditional options like decade-wear and fairytales.
