Robin Hood Fancy Dress Costumes - Suggestions From Sherwood Forest
Some Robin Hood fancy dress costumes are a popular genre of outfit at costume parties throughout the year and especially so at Halloween. When I say Robin Hood fancy dress, I am actually talking about those outfits inspired by all the characters from Sherwood Forest and not just Robin himself.Maid Marion, Friar Tuck, King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham have all inspired some great looking costumes and it is not surprising given the place that the legend has in our popular culture.
Robin of Loxley is an English folklore hero who was both a highly skilled archer and Swordsman. He was a nobleman who was forced to become an outlaw, so he formed a group of fellow outlaws known as his "Merry Men" and roamed an area known as Sherwood Forest. Robin and his men wore Lincoln green clothes and they became infamous for "robbing from the rich to give to the poor".
Robin Hood fancy dress costumes have always been popular, but become even more so in recent years thanks to the Hollywood blockbuster, Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner in the title role and then more recently due to the huge success of the BBC television series. It is likely that Robin Hood outfits will become more popular still this year, which sees the release of a new film, a more gritty adaptation of the legend, starring Russell Crowe.
