Play Right: Halloween Costume Ideas from New Jammies
Spooky season is upon us! Halloween is one of our favorite holidays at New Jammies. It’s the perfect time to bust out a new pair of PJs, whether you’re adding it as the final touch to a quality costume, adding an extra layer of warmth before chilly trick-or-treating, or finishing off a spook-tacular night with some scary stories before bed.
These DIY Halloween costumes can all be built off your favorite pair of New Jammies! Depending on the weather, start with footies, long sleeves, or short sets, and build your costume with a few simple additions. If you’re looking for that extra layer of warmth, our Simply Solids collection is a perfect base to any DIY costume. Make pretend play and cozy nights last well beyond one night of trick or treating fun!

Where’s Waldo?
Start with a set of striped red and white jammies. Add a red cap, some round glasses, a camera strap, a cane, and Waldo’s other accessories to become this beloved search-and-find character!
Baby Cowpoke 
For the smallest trick-or-treaters, a costume that starts with footie pajamas can be cozy and comfortable during those Halloween naps. Add a cowboy hat, boots, and a sheriff’s badge to our Horses n’ Stripes footie pajamas to create the cutest cowpoke ever!
Sharks and Mermaids
For a fun matching siblings costume, rule the ocean as sharks and mermaids. Our Mermaid Mamas PJs pair well with a sparkly mermaid tail, while all our Sharks pattern needs is some fins and a headpiece for a fearsome king of the seas!
Unicorns and Pegasi and Fairies, Oh My!
To create a magical fantasy costume, start with our mod Chevron pattern or Rainbow Unicorns design. Add a mane, horn, tail, and wings to become your favorite fantasy animal. For fairies and sprites, try a tulle tutu, wings, and a magic wand.
Choo Choo!
Grab a pair of our Locomotive Train pajamas and add a conductor hat for your future engineer!
Be your own Super Hero! Match one of our fun Stripes, Star Spangled, or our Simply Solids collection with a fun cape and mask to create your own super hero! Create a list of your unique super powers and how you plan to be a hero here on planet Earth and beyond!
