ninja costume

Black assassin garb

A ninja costume is an outfit imitating the black garb associated with Japanese ninja warriors—typically a hooded mask, loose-fitting tunic, and pants.

Popular for Halloween and costume parties, it evokes stealth and martial arts prowess: The kids wanted ninja costumes this year.

The all-black look derives more from theatrical convention than historical accuracy.
