1. Aye aye, captain!
Put on your fiercest face and get ready to sail the seven seas! As one of the hottest Halloween costumes in Singapore, pirate costumes are a fun and quick solution for last minute costume ideas.
For the adults
Dads, you don’t have to put on a tacky costume to look like a pirate. Pair a striped shirt (available on glcsbmy.sg) with black jeans and borrow a red scarf (available on Closetonline Women Flagship Store) from your wife to tie around your waist.
