If you’re a guy who likes the idea of a Zorro fancy dress costume…

You can achieve the look very easily by dressing in black shirt, pants, and a wide brimmed black hat. Don’t forget to get yourself a sword too; plastic ones can be picked up very cheaply in toy stores.You’ll also need a black eye mask, a swishing cape, and some long black boots to finish off the look.  If you don’t have boots you can buy boot toppers to fit to your black shoes. It’s a good idea have a moustache too, and if you don’t have a natural one you can draw it on with an eyebrow pencil.

If you can get in character, so much the better.  Why not practice clicking your heels on the floor and waving your sword around?

When you enter the party you can swirl your cape around and glare menacingly at the guests before breaking into a big smile to reassure them you’re only playing. A Zorro fancy dress costume can turn any party into an exciting adventure, so remember to make a dramatic entrance.

The great thing about this outfit is you can use your existing clothes rather than going to a special outfitters, and that not only saves you money but also stops you from buying something that will only get used once or twice.[ad#ad-8]
