Gypsies are a people whose traditions have long been shrouded in mystery. What do we know about them? In truth, not much. In fact, gypsies are often defined by their behavior, rather than their race, religion or nation of origin. The one accepted definition is that gypsies are a nomadic people that first appeared in Europe during the middle ages.
The rest of what we know about gypsies was created by the media. Cinematic representations of them often focus on their supernatural abilities. The image of the gypsy with headscarf and crystal ball is one that has been around for many years. They are also often depicted as carnies, circus performers and sometimes people of questionable character.
But in this article we want to focus on yet another gypsy stereotype, that of the sexy gypsy seductress. As you have seen, gypsies are a strange and mysterious people, and that tends to encourage rumors, lies and half-truths. One is that gypsy women are highly sexual, even promiscuous.
Just look at the most popular gypsy Halloween costumes. Not that we are complaining. They are most assuredly alluring. With a short multicolored dress, a bandana and a sash, a gypsy costume can compliment nearly any woman’s natural curves. As you might expect these sexy outfits are designed for adults only.
Why do young women like gypsy costumes? They are mysterious, sexy and versatile. That’s right! A woman can dress up as any type of gypsy she likes. With a crystal ball or some tarot cards, she can become a fortune telling gypsy.
For the more adventurous party goers, there is also the dancing gypsy costume. These outfits are far less conservative that the fortune teller’s garb. The costumes we reviewed had a sexy off-the shoulder halter top and a layered skirt. There are a number of interesting accessories that can compliment this enchanting ensemble.
No gypsy outfit would be complete without costume jewelry. But what do gypsy women wear? We know that they like scarves and sashes, but when it comes to jewelry for gypsies, bigger is almost always better. Of course, some people might call them gaudy, but a pair of faux gold hoop earrings is an absolute must.
For those who want to go all out, there are even complete gypsy jewelry sets. These sets include the aforementioned gold earring, a necklace with dangling gold coins and hoops, and fake ruby and emerald rings. These are particularly popular accessories for the fortune teller costume.
Last but not least, there is the fortune teller’s full wig. Unlike the gypsy dancer who usually sports sashes and bandanas, a gypsy Madame often likes to let her hair down. Most wigs have long black tresses that compliment the gypsy garb.
Popular gypsy colors are purples, greens, blues, yellows, golds, reds and blacks. Layered, loose flowing clothes are the key - and lots of big, bold jewelry. Have fun!
