A purple cape is the purple version of the classic shoulder cloak: no sleeves, but a fastening at the neck and usually an attached hood. Within the broader set of capes, this color in particular makes the difference, because purple belongs with looks like a vampire, witch, wizard, or ghost. For women and men, there are ankle-length velvet models, and for children, a shorter ghost cape in deep purple.
Which purple cape suits which party?
For Halloween, choose a spooky version; for carnival or a theme party, a velvet model with a spacious hood.
- For Halloween, you will find ghostly models in deep purple and a black vampire cape with a striking purple collar, just like the Halloween cape.
- For carnival, there are dark purple velvet capes with hoods, where the purple looks lighter or deeper depending on the light.
- For a more chic costume party, a bright purple cape with a crinkled, slightly shiny surface that forms large folds in the back works well.
- If you want two looks in one, there is a double-sided model in black and purple that you can also wear inside out.
Difference between velvet and crinkled purple capes
Velvet looks heavier and deeper in color, while a crinkled surface varies in tone with every movement and shines more vividly. If you want a dark, closed look for a vampire or wizard, choose velvet. If you are looking for a purple cloak that stands out under party lights, the crinkled version is the more logical choice. In terms of length, the range for adults goes from approximately 130 cm to 170 cm including the hood, which falls around the ankles for most people. For children, you choose based on body length rather than age: the range there goes from 128 to 164 cm. Purple is the color in the world of costumes that belongs with magic and the supernatural, so a hood that partially casts your face in shadow immediately makes the look grimmer.
Combining with face paint and a second color
You wear a purple cape loosely over your own clothes, so black trousers or a skirt and dark shoes are enough as a base. White or gray face paint turns the same cape into a ghost, while a tight headband and dark lips lean towards a vampire. If you are dressing up with several people, you can complement the group with a blue cape for a second character.
A purple cape for Halloween, carnival, or a theme party
On Halloween, the purple cape is the fastest costume piece there is, because it goes over everything you are already wearing. During carnival and at theme parties, it more often serves as a base around which you build your own outfit. Children wear the shorter models, while women and men wear the ankle-length variants with hoods.
