Dia de los Muertos as a costume theme

The Mexican Day of the Dead festival, Dia de los Muertos, is a colourful commemoration where the deceased are honoured with flowers, candles and decorated skulls. The calavera, the decorated skull, is the most famous image of the festival and is reflected here in the print on the jacket. The black-and-red colour combination with feathers and bones gives the theme a spooky edge, making the look suitable for a Halloween night or a themed party around the Day of the Dead. While many Day of the Dead outfits are brightly coloured and floral, this model sticks to black and red, so choose this jacket if you want a dark, master-of-ceremonies-like appearance rather than a flamboyant one.

What face paint and accessories go with this Day of the Dead jacket?

The look is only complete with a calavera face: white as a base, black eye sockets, a black nose tip and fine dots and lines along the cheeks and forehead. Use face paint or a skull mask and keep the lines sharp, as the print on the jacket is also graphic. Skeleton gloves, an ornate walking stick and a dark wig with dreadlocks or long locks complete the look, as seen in the photo. Underneath, wear black trousers and dark boots so that the red accents get all the attention.
