This Halloween, a lot of your friends are going to go as icons from Horror movies and superheroes from film franchises. If you really want to stand out while being highly recognizable, we suggest dressing as a spartan. This ancient Greek prototype has a topical edge, and, quite simply, it’s a really cool costume that will make your friends envious.

At Sword N Armory, we’ve got the most important component of any spartan costume, and it’s a mask. That’s right – whether you wish to be a warrior or a villain, we have the ultimate costume component to tie your look together while guaranteeing perfect authenticity.

We’re quite proud of our handcrafted resin masks. They are extremely resilient and durable, and they look high in quality, even from a distance. Our masks are durable enough to allow you to wear them on multiple occasions. And, they’re adjustable, allowing you to enjoy the perfect fit.

So, without further ado, let’s help you put together your spartan costume so that you can emulate one of the most iconic looks in film history while paying tribute to a much-celebrated era in time.

Why Spartans Will Never Go Out of Style

Spartans have always been fascinating, even before that iconic Hollywood film came out a few years ago. They represent two human archetypes: the hero and the villain. And, those archetypes continue to infiltrate culture today. Dressing as a spartan doesn’t just pay tribute to a popular movie – it allows you to embody the spirit of one of the most fascinating cultures to ever walk the earth.

How to Choose the Perfect Spartan Costume This Halloween

Now, let’s help you develop the perfect spartan costume for your upcoming Halloween party. Whether you wish to be a warrior hero or an evil villain is totally up to you. What really matters is that you feel comfortable in your costume and that you are as authentic as possible. That’s why we’re here to help.

Being a Spartan Hero

Spartan warriors were some of the most heroic men in history, and paying tribute to them is a great way to show off your inner warrior while rocking an awesome costume. We’ve made it easy to embody the character with our Spartan Hero mask. This mask is completely accurate to the film, down to the finish on the heavy-duty resin material. You’ll be delighted to find that this is no flimsy mask. It can hold up after several wears. And, you can adjust the fit using an adjustable strap, meaning that no matter what Halloween has in store for you, your mask will stay put and look great.

Because this mask is so incredibly accurate to the iconic costume, it does most of the work for you. All that you have to do is come up with the rest of the outfit. You have two choices: you can go with a store-bought costume inspired by the film, or put together the look yourself.

If you wish to put together the look yourself, be prepared to show some skin. Spartans were an immodest bunch, and they proudly displayed their muscular legs and torsos. Because this is Ancient Greece, you’re going to want to go for something loosely inspired by a toga. And, make sure that it’s dark red to stay true to the iconic imagery of the film. You might also want to invest in some gold armor pieces to really get into the spirit.

Being a Spartan Villain

Being a spartan villain may be a bit more controversial, but it’s just as easy to pull off this look thanks to our Spartan Villain mask. Inspired by the legendary film, this mask is a flawless replica that will ensure that everyone knows exactly what your costume is. The mask is durable thanks to the resin material, and the fit is easily adjustable. This means that no matter what your Halloween plans involve, your mask will stay put and look great throughout the evening.

Now that your mask is settled, you just have to find the right outfit to complete your costume. Again, you can either go with a store-bought costume, or try to put the look together using various apparel items. Spartan villains showed a little less skin than their heroic counterparts, so you can get away with long sleeves and pants, which may be much appreciated on a particularly chilly Halloween evening.

We suggest sticking with grayscale colors as this is more accurate to the film. But you’re also going to need an armor chest piece if you want to be authentic. Luckily, we have your armor-related needs covered here at Sword N Armory. Just make your purchase as far in advance as possible to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit. After all, you want to be comfortable while looking awesome in your costume.
