Costume

A costume is clothing designed to represent a specific character, period, profession, or theme, often used for events like performances, celebrations, or parties. It involves choosing garments, accessories, and makeup to evoke a particular identity or persona, enhancing storytelling or participation. Costumes can be elaborate or simple, and they serve to create an immersive experience, allowing individuals to temporarily adopt different roles or eras. They are essential in theater, cosplay, festivals, and Halloween, helping to bring imagination to life and provide visual context or entertainment.
