Does eating, sleeping, and living on board a huge floating bathtub sound like your kind of party? Do you crave the excitement and adventure that only the endless blue ocean can provide? Do you dig breezy looking uniforms, tying lots of knots, and sleeping in hammocks? Then you sound like the perfect candidate for life as a sailor! Everyone has heard the saying “Join the Navy, see the world!” but what those commercials usually don't mention is that most of the world is covered in water, and you'll probably be too busy working inside of a giant tin can to see any of it, anyway.

Luckily, by dressing up in a dashing Sailor Halloween costume from our collection, you can give yourself the look like an intrepid master of the high seas, without enlisting in any navies or joining any sailing crews! We've put together a guide of just a few of our great nautical themed outfits to help give you some ideas of how to dress while you're getting your sea legs. And just so you know, our expertise only extends to costumes and accessories, so if you actually want to sail open waters, you'll have to figure out how to tie knots and operate vessels on your own.

The Navy! The fearless defenders of the Seven Seas! For the past few hundred years, whenever pirates came knocking at your merchant ship's door, the Navy has been there to blast them out of the water! They also have a reputation for wearing a different uniform for almost every occasion, which gives both men and women a lot of excellent options for all their sailor costume needs.

For some people, sailing isn't just a job; it's a way of life. Many naval sailors used to start their careers when they were just kids, so by the time they were big enough to climb a net or hold a sword, they were already skilled mariners. Luckily, sailors these days can be trained when they're a bit older, but that doesn't mean kids can't dress up in costumes like these for some nautical fun on dry land!

Perhaps the most famous sailor in history isn't a distinguished explorer, or a decorated admiral, but a cartoon! His name is Popeye, the Sailor Man, and if you've ever eaten (or thought about eating) a can of chopped spinach before, there's a decent chance you hummed Popeye's heroic theme song while you were at it!

Without his trademark corncob pipe, Popeye would be sunk. Even more so than spinach, this trusty pipe has gotten the Sailor Man out of many tight spots, as it has acted as a blowtorch, and even a jet engine at one point or another! He's also always ready to use it to give his signature tugboat whistle, so this Corncob Pipe will make a handy accessory to your Popeye costume!
