Day of the Dead Costumes for Halloween

The Day of the Dead is a celebratory holiday observed by those of Mexican heritage. The holiday is to recall and celebrate family and friends who have died. This holiday, called Dia de Muertos in Spanish, falls on October 31st and lasts until November 2nd. Colorful costumes with skull masks are sometimes associated with the day. The popular Disney family movie Coco, released in cinemas in November 2017, featured dead characters dressed in this iconic way. Here are some Day of the Dead style outfits that would be fun for Halloween dress-up or Day of the Dead celebrations. Note that these do not include a mask or make-up for the looks shown here.
