Avast ye, matey! So you want to dress like a pirate, eh? Well pirating is serious business, so pirates have to look good while they sail the seven seas. Luckily, making a pirate costume is as easy as finding salt in the ocean, so pay attention to a few simple steps, and you’ll be looking like a scurvy-ridden sea dog in no time.
Trousers:
Old black trousers or jeans. You want them to have a snug fit and then cut them off just below the knee. You can pull and fray the ends to give them a ragged look.
Skirts:
If you wish to dress up like a female pirate all you need to do is get a black skirt instead of trousers. Skirts can be either long or short. If you want a short skirt it is best to get something knee length so that you can take some scissors and tear up the bottom to cut it shorter and to make it look tattered and old.
