A timeless classic with endless, versatile possibilities, a sailor costume can be interpreted in a number of ways. Sometimes rugged if done in a traditional manner, sometimes sweet or sexy in styles for ladies, the sailor look
"In the Navy! You can sail the Seven Seas!" No village people revival is complete without a sailor! For a more traditional depiction of a sailor, there's everyone's favorite cartoon spinach-eating seafarer, Popeye. Pair up the Popeye costume with Olive Oyl for a great couple's look. Other tried n' true nautical-themed favorites include medieval, renaissance, or Greek sailors with a lace-up shirt with billowing sleeves, perfect for picking up a sea breeze.

Ladies can wear an innocent, feminine version of classic men's sailor attire with a short, navy blue skirt and white blouse trimmed with a red-and-white sailor collar and a matching sailor cap. For a striking look to make your crew stand at attention, dress it up with some red high-heeled patent mary Janes. Some sailor girl costumes are a bit more sexy than sweet with more form-fitting lines and edgy styling.

If anime is more your thing, go for any one of a number of sailor moon costumes fashioned after the popular Japanese cartoon of the same name.
