Thinking about dressing up as a 300 Spartan this Halloween?

While the Spartan and Roman looks have always been popular at costume parties, the success and spectacle of the film 300 has made this look even more appealing. The Spartans after all were a group of warriors who fought unlike any others.

They relied not on heavy armour or overwhelming numbers to defeat their opponents, but rather their teamwork and skill. Their history and success in battle has stood the test of time, and allowed them to be revered as far more than just warriors.

The Spartans took their fighting very seriously, this can been seen through their advanced battle attire.  The 300 Spartan Costume, which is a toga/cape combination that completely wraps around the body. The toga is made from an attractive looking red suede material, which is further accentuated by the gold helmet, arm guards and shin guards included with the outfit.

It doesn’t hurt that the Spartans employed a very unique visual style when they waded into battle, which still stands out today as wholly unique to them. One of these styles is seen in the Spartan Warrior Adult Costume. First is the wrap, somewhat similar to a kilt (yes men, you’ll effectively be wearing a skirt with this outfit), and the matching cape with medallion clasp.

The cape alone is a great piece, and adds great visual flourish to the costume, as it can be purposefully moved and manipulated to great visual effect. Also included with this costume is the belt for your skirt, I mean wrap, arm cuffs (which could often act as shields and could be used to catch and snare weapons in their hooks), and a traditional Spartan helmet.

For men who can’t quite muster up the courage to wear a wrap, the Centurion Adult Plus Costume will allow you to live out warrior fantasies, while avoiding the nightmare of wearing a kilt. This costume is a full body piece that goes down below the knees. It also comes with stylish shoulder guards, wrist guards, and shin guards, and a long gray cape.

One of the final pieces for these Spartan costumes will be your weapon of choice, and there are several to choose from. If you’d prefer to wield a spear into battle (or into the buffet line), the 300 – Spartan War Spear is a great choice. For sword lovers, there’s the 300 – Spartan Sword, and the Royal Sword, among many other sword designs available.

If you’re still feeling somewhat defenseless on the dance floor, you could also equip a Gold Roman Shield, perfect for deflecting enemy attacks, or in the event a food fight breaks out. For the Ultimate Spartan experience checkout the 300 Costume / Collector.

Lastly you’ll need a good pair of sandals to go with your costume. You may have a suitable pair already, but if not, the Roman (Brown) Adult Sandals are the perfect choice. These sandals are in the old Spartan style, with straps that wrap around the leg halfway to the knee.

Even if you can’t handle the Spartan wrap, there are several great ways to dress up as a Spartan, allowing you to look vicious even while showing off a little skin. Sure to drive the ladies wild, and the men green with envy.
