Army Theme Fancy Dress

Attention recruit! Check out these army themed fancy dress ideas if you are going along to an event with a military theme.

This is a popular fancy dress outfit for groups. One of you can go dressed a general, some as soldiers and you can even add in some medic fancy dress in case it all gets a bit too much for someone.

Army Fancy Dress for Women

To get this outfit right it is very easy. You need to get some camouflage gear. So get a camouflage t-shirt for guys or a camouflage dress for girls. You can wear something else like a camouflage baseball cap if that tickles your fancy. Fancy dress dog tags are a must as well. You can get some printed online with your real name.

One of the really fun things about this fancy dress theme is the accessories that go with it. You can have a lot of fun with toy, water pistols, plastic hand grenades, green silly string, camouflage netting and even army tents.

This tends to be a very popular choice with women on hen nights for some reason. I think it is a fun way to dress up in outfits which are normally associated with men, although women are an important part of the army just not as front line troops, and a good excuse to run around with fun army accessories.

Green Plastic Army Man

If you want to surprise people but still fit in to a military fancy dress theme then you could go along in a green plastic soldier costume. Be aware this will take quite a bit of effort but let’s face it if you turn up dressed like this you will be the centre of attention all night.

To make this costume you need to dress yourself up as a normal soldier. So go for army fatigues, a fancy dress army helmet, a toy plastic gun … and about twelve cans of aerosol green paint. You’ll need to put a lot of newspaper down in your back garden and convince a friend to spray you all over. Obviously make sure you use non-toxic wearable body paint.

Army General Fancy Dress

If you feel that you have always been the kind of person who should be in command you could try out wearing an army general fancy dress to go to a military theme party. It’s not easy to get these kind of costumes and you probably will struggle to make one yourself. However they are available at specialist shops online. This can be a fun idea if you are dressing up as part of a team at work. The boss can dress as the general and everyone else can dress as other ranks.
