pirate costume

Halloween seafarer getup

A pirate costume is an outfit imitating the romanticized dress of sea pirates—typically featuring a tricorn hat, eye patch, striped shirt, vest, and perhaps a toy cutlass or hook hand.

Standard fare for Halloween and costume parties: The kids dressed in pirate costumes for trick-or-treating.

The look draws more from fiction than historical accuracy.
