sailor - 6 Halloween Costume Ideas
Sailor costumes lean on stripes, a captain's cap, and practical nautical wear, Popeye's classic cartoon uniform, the Skipper's Gilligan's Island styling, Corlys Velaryon's more regal seafaring authority. The tone ranges from cartoonish to genuinely commanding.
A striped shirt and captain's hat cover the basic version instantly. For Corlys specifically, you'll want richer fabric and a more formal cut to match his higher-status role.
The basics overlap, stripes and a cap, but Corlys needs more formal, higher-status styling than the others.
It helps, along with rolled-up sleeves and exaggerated forearms if you want to lean into the cartoon physicality.
A striped shirt and a captain's cap, that combination reads instantly.
