Why Start With Basics? Because building a costume around solid colored pieces like tights, bodysuits, socks or gloves gives you a blank canvas. You can layer, accessorize, paint, glue, and style them however you want. And the best part? These pieces don’t go into storage after Halloween. They're reusable, durable, and wearable all year round on stage, at events, or for your next creative project. A few fast ideas to spark your costume plan.
