With Halloween coming up quickly, everyone is dressing up, or down, with just about every theme in mind. Halloween costume ideas seem to be all over the web. However, taking a wander through some of our popular articles, I realized that we should promote adults dressing up year-round. It is fun, looks awesome and is an all-around fun activity… erm, apparently.
Remember--fancy dress is for life, not just for Halloween. And calling it "fancy dress" hides a whole world of wrong!
