   The first thing I think when I think pirate is striped pants or a ragged striped skirt. You could look around thrift stores for ideas too. For a shirt, maybe see if you can find a cheap, solid color peasant shirt with puffy sleeves. You don’t really need a pirate hat unless you want one. A red or black scarf would work just fine. But here are some under $20:

   Ideas for the outfit:

   For boots, you can get boot tops. They don’t cost much and go over your shoes:

   Hope that gives you some ideas so you look authentic. Hope it helps, have fun!

   hiya! its never to late to start thinking about halloween coutuems! its better to be prepared!

   i was thinking instead of pantts you can have a dress or a skirt.. that is black.. and maybe have a gold belt that is lopsided it to …. um pirtaeshave some patterns on it.. so maybe a red and white stripe should go to the side of the skirt.. idk

   have something to tie around ur head. or eye… like bandanas coul;d be good but have just something to cover it… um have long boots about knee or a lil lower but not low boots. boots that are tall enough to fold a lil.. they need to be black.. and also of course a pirate hat,,,

   umm try looking at this site :

   http://www.buypiratecostumes.com/sexy_pirate_costumes.html

   and follow what they are wearing,,, and if u have pants make sure they are those kind of pants(dress pants) that dont go all the way down to ur fett. but are like at least 2 or 3inches above ur feet and they swing side to side…

   when i think of pirate i think of stripes.. red and white or black and white..

   also try getting a vest too and with the pants im talking about if ur not geting a skirt or dress. and under the vest have an all white shirt that is long sleeved and is kinda puffy or lose at the hand part.. and poffy at the top
