Don't allow a forecast of scattered rain showers to dampen your enthusiasm for Halloween. There are a variety of ways that you can dress up and prepare for potentially wet situations when you go trick or treating. The following list will tell you how. 1. Wear a hat. Go trick or treating as any of the following characters: • Be a baseball player. Don your baseball cap. • Be a chef. Don your chef's hat. • Be a cowboy. Don your cowboy's hat. • Be a detective. Don your signature fedora hat. • Be a fruit picker. Don your wide-brimmed farmer's hat. • Be a graduate. Don your toga and your graduation cap to match. • Be a military officer. Don your beret. • Be a miner. Don your safety hat. • Be a painter. Don your painter's cap and accessorize with your painting canvas. • Be a sailor. Don your sailor's cap. • Be a speed racer. Don your helmet. • Be a swimmer. Don your swimmer's cap to match your swimsuit. • Be a witch. Don your oh-so-Halloween witch's hat. 2. Wear a hooded garb. Go trick or treating as a mysterious monk, a solemn nun, or as the Grim Reaper. For a less spooky image, try dressing up as an Eskimo, as Little Red Riding Hood or as a science fiction character in a jazzy hooded spacesuit. 3. Wear a long waterproof coat. Go trick or treating as a fireman or as a detective. What's great about these attires is that you get added protection from the headgear and the footwear that go with your coat. For a simpler and no-fuss preparation, try dressing up as a scarecrow. 4. Wear an umbrella. Go trick or treating as an English lady who's off to a tea party. For a fun look, be a clown and be the life of the party, or dress up as a Lemming who's about to parachute his way from a cliff. 5. Wear boots. Go trick or treating as an equestrian or as a safari adventurer. For a stylish and adventurous look, show off your spurred cowboy boots. For a more feminine appeal, don high-heeled boots. 6. Bring anything that you can possibly use to cover your head in the event of rainfall. Come up with the perfect excuse to justify your couture (and your apprehensions of a forthcoming shower). For instance, your shawl and banjo will surely come in handy when you dress up as a Mexican local. Other accessories include an artist's canvas, a knight's shield, or a bargirl's serving tray. If the thought of braving a forthcoming rain really does bother you, your best remedy yet is to stay home (and dry), tidy up your place for guests, and play the part of a gracious host to your trick-or-treating neighbors. Staying home does not disqualify you anyway from dressing up for Halloween to your heart's desire. Enjoy the occasion as much as you can. Rain or shine, Halloween is still Halloween. |
