Halloween is a time when children and adults can dress up in costumes just for the fun of it. You can find costumes everywhere, from your local costume shop to making one yourself. If you are looking to save money and want to have a great costume at the same time, try putting together a costume yourself. Here are some tips on how to dress like a soccer player for Halloween.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Black or dark blue shorts or sweats
  • Bright-colored shirt with number on back
  • Shin guards
  • Soccer socks
  • Soccer cleats
  • Soccer ball
  • Gym bag
  1. Step 1

    Wear a pair of shorts. Look for loose-fitting athletic shorts that are either black or dark blue. You can choose shorts that are solid colored or that have a white stripe down the sides. If it’s cold outside, wear a pair of sweats over the shorts.

  2. Step 2

    Wear a shirt. Choose a bright-colored shirt, whether it’s red, blue, green, or orange. Try and find one that has a number on the back. If your shirt is short-sleeved and it’s cold on Halloween night, consider wearing a long-sleeved shirt or sweatshirt under the short-sleeved shirt.

  3. Step 3

    Wear shin guards and soccer socks. Soccer players wear shin guards in the game to protect their shins from the ball being kicked at them. Wear the shin guards under a pair of long soccer socks. Try to choose socks that match the shirt or the shorts. The socks will be pulled up above the shin guards, right below the knee.

  4. Step 4

    Wear soccer cleats. Be sure to wear soccer cleats outside only as they can cause damage to your carpets or floor surfaces in your house. Soccer cleats are usually black with black shoelaces.

  5. Step 5

    Carry a ball and bag. They make soccer balls with ropes on them so you can hold the rope and kick the ball up and down. You can walk while you are trick or treating and practice soccer at the same time. Carry with you a sports or gym bag, which you can use to hold your water bottle and your Halloween candy.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you don’t have some of the items for the costume, search for them at garage sales or thrift stores.
  • Do not wear soccer cleats in the house as they can cause damage to carpets and other types of floor surfaces.
