What will be popular for the New Year 2020 - read in the new article.

The opportunity to try on different images for each New Year's holiday gives the boy a chance to feel and behave differently: to be gallant gentleman, shy bunny, brave knight, respectable padishah or simply superhero.

Advice. If a boy cannot choose the perfect image for himself, then do not forget about the possibilities of parents to make a New Year's costume with their own hands from improvised materials. So you will get not only a beautiful, but also an original outfit for your son.

Costumes: musketeer and knight

To make it easier to navigate the variety of New Year's costumes for boys, all options can be divided into several categories:

How to choose the best costume for the New Year

In order for the outfit chosen by the boy and his parents for the New Year's party to be not only beautiful, but also suitable, one should follow the recommendations of experts.

The main requirement that should be presented to a children's New Year's costume is the high quality of tailoring and materials. Despite the fact that the vast majority of costumes for children are made of synthetic fabrics, you should try to choose the most worthy of them: the material should not irritate children's skin and cause allergic reactions.

Advice. So that during the matinee the artificial material of the suit does not harm the skin, you can wear a thin cotton T-shirt and shorts (or thin pants) under the outfit itself. This will not only protect the baby, but also create the most comfortable conditions for the whole event.

New Year's costumes for boys 7-8 years old

A New Year's costume should be comfortable, and comfortable enough so that the boy is comfortable in it to jump, run, dance and perform all other actions characteristic of boys. The strength of the seams and the material itself guarantees the integrity of the costume throughout the celebration, because the boys do not always take special care of their clothes.

New Year's costumes for boys 6-7 years old

The next criterion for choosing a costume is the age of the child. For example, a bunny outfit with shorts and touching ears is appropriate only for a preschooler, but a teenager in a similar outfit will look at least out of place. In most cases, such a gradation does not require additional attention from the parents, since the child himself will dictate to them the choice of the most appropriate option.

Also, when choosing a carnival outfit, it is imperative to take into account the characteristics of the character and temperament of the boy who will have to try on one or another costume. So, a shy boy will be happy with the image of an astrologer, a sorcerer or Harry Potter, but a little bully will feel confident in the outfit of a pirate or knight. For a boy, it is not so much the outfit itself that is important, but the need to match the chosen image: to be bolder, more relaxed, more courageous, smarter, stronger, etc.

To turn a child into a magical creature with the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, you will need:

• beige or yellow jacket and pants - this will be the body of a lion;
• fabric and threads of brown or beige for the tail;
• two pieces of felt or fleece for the wings and chest: one is lighter, the other is darker;
• cardboard and paint for the mask;
• glue;
• stapler.

To make a ponytail, roll the fabric into a tube and glue the edge. Then sew or attach with a stapler a brush of threads of a suitable color. After that, the tail can be sewn to the pants.

To make wings, draw a pattern on paper with sharp, torn feather edges. Then make two more templates for other layers, each narrower than the previous one. Transfer the templates to felt, cut out the wings and sew them together, placing the darker fabric between the lighter layers.

Sew the finished wings to the jacket. Make finger loops at the ends so that the child can flap his wings and they are constantly in motion, and not hanging behind his back.

Using the same principle, make feathers on the chest from three layers of fabric.

If you don't want to work with fabric, you can make wings out of cardboard and paper.

The next important point is the mask. The photo below shows a variant of a beautiful cardboard griffin mask. Cut out the pieces first, then glue them together and color them in.

An owl costume is easier to make. Take:

• black or gray long-sleeved T-shirt;
• several cuts of fabric in gray and brown shades;
• cardboard or paper and paint for the mask.

Download and print the template, transfer it to fabric and cut out feathers of different colors. Sew them onto a T-shirt in a checkerboard pattern.

The owl also needs a mask with a beak. You can make a simple version of cardboard or complex paper masks. Here are some examples of colorful fantasy masks:

For the sheep costume you will need:

• bodysuit or overalls;
• glue;
• about 50 white pom-poms (available at craft stores)
• white and black felt for the ears;
• hat or felt for a hood.

Cut off the sleeves of the bodysuit, glue the pompoms on it so that there is no free space left. Then cut out two black ears and two white ones from the felt. Glue the black felt on top of the white - this will be the inner layer of the ear.

Glue the ears onto a hat or hood, and then cover the entire surface with pompoms.

For the shark costume you need:

• gray hoodie;
• white, gray and black felt;
• thread or glue for fabric.

From gray or white felt, cut out the dorsal fin, from white - a row of teeth and a circle for the belly, from black - eyes.

Sew or glue all pieces to the sweatshirt. If the sweatshirt has a zipper, cut the white circle in half and sew the halves on either side of the zipper.

You will need:

• wide-brimmed straw hat;
• fabric glue;
• stuffing for toys;
• red and white fabric: red felt or plain cotton can be used for the outside of the hat, white cotton or crepe is suitable for the inside;
• white lace.

Cut out a circle from the red fabric and sew it to the top of the hat, leaving room for the filler and a hole through which you will put it. Stuff the hat, evenly distributing the filling so that it takes the shape of a mushroom. Evenly distribute the filler inside the mushroom cap, and then sew up the hole.

Sew white fabric on the inside of the hat so that it resembles mushroom plates. Next to the head, sew several layers of lace, like a fringe around the leg of the fly agaric.

If your child loves the Harry Potter movies, you can make him a Hogwarts student robe. To do this, take:

• a piece of black fabric;
• a piece of fabric in the color of your favorite faculty;
• cardboard for faculty patches;
• tie or scarf in the colors of the faculty.

The gallery below shows the basic steps for making a mantle. The fabric of the top layer of the robe must be black, and the color of the lining depends on the faculty.

Sew a House badge onto your robe. You can cut it out of paper or order it, for example, at the Masters Fair. You can also complement the outfit with a striped tie or scarf from Gryffindor or another house. Both can be bought for 400-700 rubles.

Approximately according to the same scheme, you can make a wizard's mantle with stars. For her you will need:

• a piece of blue fabric;
• shiny yellow fabric or golden wrapping paper for stars;
• hard felt for the cap;
• Magic wand.

Sew the wizard's robe according to the pattern above, but without the front slit and lining. From above, randomly sew or glue the stars.

Cut out two triangles of the desired length from hard blue felt and sew them together, glue the stars and crescents, as on the mantle. Also, the cap can be made from a sheet of blue cardboard with stars from gold wrapping paper. And don't forget the magic wand!

You will need:

• yellow hoodie or yellow longsleeve and hat;
• blue denim jumpsuit;
• black gloves;
• swimming goggles or homemade minion goggles.

To make glasses, take two pieces of PVC pipe with a diameter of 7.5-10 mm with an oblique cut and six small nuts.

Coat the pipe cuts and nuts with silver paint and let them dry. Then glue the pipe pieces to each other to make glasses. Top, bottom and sides decorate them with nuts.

Make a few holes on the sides with an awl and sew on an elastic band.

8 Rey From The New Star Wars Trilogy

Rey's costume from the Star Wars universe can be made without thread and glue. The main thing is to find the right things:

• white or gray shirt;
• gray pants;
• brown leather belt;
• gray wool tights;
• black boots;
• long gray scarf

From tights you can make armlets, from a scarf - a cape. Just throw it around your neck, cross over your chest and leave the ends to fall freely, securing at the waist with a belt.

You can complete the costume with a Jedi sword or a papier-mâché BB-8.

The costume consists of wings and a hat with a mustache, the rest of the clothes are up to you. It can be a T-shirt with pants or a skirt or a smart dress. The main thing is that they are black or red with a black dot.

For the wings and hat you will need:

• two sheets of red A3 cardboard;
• black paint;
• foam sponge;
• red laces and tape;
• black nylon tights;
• flexible sticks for children's creativity (can be bought on AliExpress).

Cut out wings from cardboard, take a foam sponge cut in the shape of a circle, and put black dots.

Make holes in the wings, thread the red string as shown in the picture below, and seal with tape. In the resulting loops, the child will thread his hands.

To make a hat, cut off a stocking of dense nylon tights, tie it into a knot at one end and turn it inside out so that it is not visible. Toward the end, make two neat holes. Pass the black stick through one hole and pull it out of the other.

Bend the tips of the stick to make insect antennae. The costume is ready.

Toothless is the cute black dragon from How to Train Your Dragon. For this costume you will need:

• black hoodie and pants without logos or graphics;
• black fabric for horns, crest and tail: it should be at least approximately similar to the material of the sweatshirt;
• black and red felt and white paint for part of the tail;
• stuffing for toys;
• paints, old glasses or cardboard for the eyes.

Sew four horns: two larger and two smaller. Stuff and sew them to the hood.

Calculate the length of the crest and tail so that the tail just touches the ground. Sew a notched comb and tail.

Cut out two blades from black and red felt and sew on either side of the end of the tail. On the red part with white paint, draw a horned helmet.

When the comb and tail are ready, sew them to the back of the sweatshirt.

For the eyes, you can use lenses from old glasses. Draw Toothless's yellow eyes with vertical pupils on them and glue them to the hood. If there are no lenses, you can make eyes out of cardboard.

The main costume is ready, it remains to make the wings. For them you will need:

• flisofix;
• two wire hangers;
• black fleece;
• 45 cm gum;
• threads;
• scissors;
• wire cutters.

Print out the pattern and cut it out of paper. Transfer the template to the flesofix sheet.

Lay the fleece wings on the wrong side of the fleece with the adhesive side against the fabric and iron. Cut the fleece to the shape of the wings.

Remove the paper layer from the wings, spread the "bones" of the wings from the wire on the adhesive layer. Then lay the fleece on top and press firmly with an iron so that the glue and fleece adhere. Cut the fleece to the shape of the wings.

Sew the wings along the outline, and then around each "bone". Then sew on elastic bands so that the child can put on the wings.

Toothless costume is ready. And the wings can be used for other costumes, for example, a bat.

If you are not confident in your abilities, order.

With the approach of the New Year holidays, we are seized by a joyful fuss. We think about what gifts to please relatives and friends, how to decorate the house, what treats to prepare for the festive table, how to decorate the house. Store departments are full of multi-colored garlands, shimmering with bright lights. On the streets and in institutions, especially in children's, they set up Christmas trees and hang decorations.

Children cannot but notice all this, and each child asks his parents the question: “Who will I be at the holiday?”. In addition, older children know that Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden will surely hold a competition for the best New Year's costume. And they want to have the very best in order to receive a prize from Santa Claus.

This means that when choosing a New Year's costume, one must listen to the opinion of the child and take into account his wishes - an uninteresting image imposed on him is unlikely to cause positive emotions. So parents should immerse themselves in the world of fairy-tale characters and show imagination.

Shops offer a wide range of ready-made products. But you can also make a decent outfit from improvised materials yourself. And if your child is directly involved in this, then a great mood is guaranteed - because in the end he will have an original and unique costume at the holiday. The one bought in the store will be wonderful, but then it may turn out that someone else is flaunting in a similar or even the same one.

Patterns can be easily found on the Internet or in the store.

Requirements for a children's New Year's costume

Whether you are going to buy or make a costume yourself, first of all, pay attention to the materials from which the costume is made. Do not use synthetic fabrics - they can cause an allergic reaction on the delicate skin of the baby. Therefore, give preference to natural ones - cotton, knitwear, wool. They are hygroscopic and retain heat well.

Also, the suit must fit. Too long sleeves and legs or, conversely, tight clothing will impede movement, create inconvenience, and in conditions of discomfort, the holiday will not work for the child.

And, of course, the costume must be original and bright.

Costumes for the little ones

Even the smallest children feel that the New Year is a special holiday. A decorated Christmas tree, a visit from Santa Claus, wearing unusual clothes - everything contributes to raising the emotional background. The child will be pleased with the costume of some animal known to him. It will give him pleasure and embodiment in the image of his favorite toy. A funny giraffe, a baby elephant, a frog, a fabulous gnome - everything will be appropriate.

But you need to remember that the main thing - clothes for the smallest should be very comfortable, simple cut. It is best if the costume is made in the form of pajamas or overalls. It should not have coarse seams, dense applications, large hard fasteners. It's great if mom or grandmother knows how to knit and make a beautiful soft suit of colored threads.

Young children love cartoons, and to be in the image of the well-known Winnie the Pooh, the Wolf from "Well, you wait!" or the brave Troubadour from The Bremen Town Musicians is not an ordinary event for a child. The recognizable image of Pinocchio or Puss in Boots will also appeal to a little boy.

In preschool institutions, children often take part in themed matinees, and typical images are bunnies, bear cubs, cubs, snowmen. These costumes are not that hard to make.

For example, for a bunny costume, you can use a white shirt or sweater and white shorts or panties, to which a piece of faux fur is sewn on the back - a ponytail.

The main detail of the costume is the ears. They are cut out of cardboard and sheathed with white cloth, or better with fur. Then they are attached to a white cap or hoop.

The teddy bear costume is just as easy to make. The basis is a brown sweater or jacket, pants. Ears are also made of cardboard with fur and are attached to a brown knitted or fur hat. A white shirt-front is easy to make from a scarf, and two circles of brown fabric sewn together and filled with cotton are quite suitable for a ponytail.

Similarly, you can approach the fox costume - take bright orange clothes, tights. An elongated fox muzzle can be sewn from orange fabric and filled with cotton wool, a mustache can be added and a large round button - a nose - can be sewn on. If making a muzzle causes you difficulties, then you can buy a ready-made carnival mask - they are offered in abundance by large stores and small retail outlets.

A luxurious fox tail can be made from the collar of an old coat. Don't have an old coat? Not a problem. Make a tail from a bright Christmas tree serpentine - it will be original and New Year's festive.

For the image of a snowman, a voluminous white robe or white voluminous shirt or sweater and pants are suitable. A carrot nose and a bucket as a headdress will complete the image. They can easily be made from colored cardboard.

Little boys love to be fabulous fun gnomes at the New Year's party. For a festive costume, you can take a bright shirt and vest. A wide belt with a large buckle is required for decoration. Shoes should also be decorated with large buckles. Any pants will fit. They can be decorated with ribbons. Striped golfs will not be superfluous.

A gnome costume is unthinkable without a cap. It can be sewn from any dense fabric. Make a beard for the gnome from fringe or cotton wool.

fashion ideas

Older boys, as a rule, are more demanding on their New Year's costume. Outfits of funny animals or gnomes will look ridiculous on them. For them, the images of the heroes of popular books, movies, comics are appropriate.

Joanne Rowling's books made a splash in the world of children's literature and made Harry Potter the idol of many boys. And to be embodied in the image of your favorite hero is akin to the fulfillment of a dream.

The main details of the costume are the mantle, hat and glasses in a round frame.

It is not difficult to sew a mantle from a piece of black matter. It can be decorated with a red lining. On the mantle, it is desirable to place the emblem of Gryffindorf - the department of the school where Harry Potter studies. Make it yourself or print one found on the Internet and stick it on a denser base. Pants and a shirt under the mantle can be worn any.

It is also easy to make a hat yourself from a sheet of whatman paper and color it. Instructions are readily available. Or buy a DIY kit for children's art.

It's nice to complement the look with a striped red and yellow tie. And its creation will be completed by a magic wand, in the manufacture of which give free rein to your imagination.

The pirate costume is also in demand. He needs wide flared trousers and a striped vest. You will also need a wide belt and a raincoat. Any black fabric is suitable for a raincoat, patterns can be found on the Internet. Make a tricorne hat out of cardboard and decorate it with a pirate sign - a skull and crossbones, and insert a feather. Complete the look with revolvers and daggers. They will be in the arsenal of any kid's toys.

Many children fell in love with the brave and charming heroes of the animated series and comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Admired by the exploits of these characters, the boys demand just such costumes from their parents.

The main detail in the costume is the shell. One idea is to use an aluminum baking dish to make it. They are sold in any supermarket or market. It is decorated with colored paper, felt-tip pens, multi-colored adhesive tape. Fantasy will help you come up with a pattern. Then make cuts in the corners and insert ribbons with which the makeshift shell will be attached to the child's body.

Making another type of shell is more laborious, but it will also look more presentable. From thick cardboard you need to cut an oval and sew a cover to it. Then fill the cover with any filler and sew on colored straps. Decorate the shell with appliqués made from colored scraps or paper.

You can also make your own turtle mask at home.

How to choose

When choosing a carnival costume, first of all, consider the age of the child. For a little boy, an incomprehensible image of Batman or Harry Potter is unlikely to be interesting and will not give the necessary positive emotions.

A bright outfit of a fairy-tale character will help create the necessary atmosphere. In an older boy, such a suit can even cause a negative reaction - because he wants to be mature and strong.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the character and temperament of the boy. A calm and shy person should not be dressed up in a pirate or ninja battle suit, but the attire of a sorcerer, astrologer, Harry Potter will do just fine. For a lively tomboy, these images are inharmonious, and the preferred options are knights, musketeers, clowns and devils.

It is very difficult to choose clothes for a little gentleman for a graduation, birthday or family celebration. You need a tailcoat, a tuxedo, a business card, or just an elegant set.

Boys' costumes come in several varieties. Let's figure out which ones. Shall we start?

Business card. Has the following features:

• tapering jacket sides,
• Jacket fastens with one button
• the length of the frock coat at the back is below the knees.

What to wear with an elegant suit:

• tie or bow tie
• classic pants.

The tuxedo- holiday jacket Suitable for celebrations. Peculiarities:

• black color,
• satin lapels.

A tuxedo can be single-breasted or double-breasted, fastened with one or three buttons. Pair with elegant black dress pants, shirt, tie or bow tie.

tailcoat- formal dress for young gentlemen. It has narrow long tails, worn with a white shirt, a light vest, a bow tie. He looks good with patent leather shoes.

Dressy sets for a boy

When choosing elegant sets for a young gentleman, look at models with a jacket, trousers, shirt, tie or bow tie. Such costumes are suitable for the baby for the first graduation or matinee.

If a small man grows up in the family, then choosing a New Year's costume for a boy can turn into a nightmare. And all why? Yes, it's just that parents, for completely natural reasons, tend to "give" their own dreams to the child. And would they remember their childhood, and think, would they like the costume of some kind of pioneer hero (the one that my mother loved)?

That's the whole point! The choice of a New Year's costume must be done together with the child, then there will be no resentment and "boring mines". And there will be a real enchanting holiday, running around, games, mood, happiness! What can be advised here? The boys are passionate about comic book and movie characters. Creating some newfangled hero is not very difficult. And the service industry is trying to follow the trends of even the smallest buyers.

The form of a small soldier or sailor is still relevant at the present time. It looks beautiful, the boy will be proud of such a New Year's outfit. Playboys and bullies might be comfortable dressed up as a clown or a Harlequin or some kind of Marvel superhero. And if you teach him the skill of juggling! Imagine the effect, and it is very useful for the development of the boy.

The ideas of road "romantics" of all stripes are also in demand. For example, pirates or robbers. With the right “ideological attitude”, the child will arrange a lot of entertainment for himself in such an outfit. Yes, do not forget about your son's favorite characters. Someone is passionate about robots or comics, while others are already reading science fiction at this time.
