Cowboy costume for matinee. In the spirit of the Wild West: a cowboy costume for a boy for the New Year

string (10) "error stat" string (10) "error stat" string (10) "error stat" string (10) "error stat" string (10) "error stat" Worn jeans, plaid shirt, high hat with brim , a neckerchief, spurs on boots - it's all a cowboy costume. It was distributed in the Wild West. The shepherds wore it, accompanying the herds and driving them over long distances. Because everything in it was practical. Fabrics are strong, those that will not suffer from long wear, will not rub and will not deteriorate in a few years. The colors are light so that the dust is not so noticeable. Hat hid eyes from the sun, hiding nose behind a neckerchief. Spurs on high boots made it easy to handle a horse, and belts guaranteed that the jeans would stay on the master, even if he lost weight in a bad year. Now western style in clothes is much more democratic. Colors can be bright, fabrics can be thin, a hat can be discarded, spurs on boots are not needed at all. It is simple, while you can create different variations, changing the details. But for this you need to know what a cowboy style is.

  In a literal translation from English, a cowboy means "one who looks after the cows." However, in modern culture such an image is very far from a peaceful shepherd. The Wild West is dust, heat and hard work. This is a shootout with the bad guys, Colts in the tops of boots and sarcastic grins. These are smoked saloons, undiluted whiskey and all that “romance” that looks so beautiful in films. It is to adventure novels and Clint Eastwood that the Western-style image should send. And only then - to the real cowboys.

Cowboy Costume Elements

  There are several traditional details that look great in cowboy style. If you include them in the image all together, you get a cowboy costume, a photo of which can be placed without embarrassment on the Internet, go to a carnival or a New Year's children's party in it. If you add a couple of elements, you get an interesting image, which is acceptable in everyday life.

This part of the wardrobe protected the cowboy from the night's coolness. Vests were made from jeans or similar quality fabric. Now it is customary to additionally apply scuffs on them (to make them worn out). Both girls and boys can wear this item. Details and finishes are different: fringe, embroidery and even a beaded pattern. The vest should be short, it may have pockets. A real cowboy would wear a watch or a lighter in them, and a resident of a modern metropolis may be limited to a telephone.

  It has five rays and is made of shiny yellow metal. Wearing it on your chest in the way that the real servants of the law in the Wild West did is quite convenient. And you can add imagination and put on the star a little slanting, it is also not forbidden to attach it as an icon to jeans or a bag.

Guns

  This weapon was worn behind a belt, armpit or bootleg. For those who want to make a cowboy costume with their own hands and go to a masquerade in it, the gun will be a great addition to the sheriff’s star. Moreover, it is necessary to take not any vaguely similar weapons, but revolvers - they were used most often in the Wild West. It's funny if a toy weapon has a trigger mechanism, when clicked it will make a loud click or even release a small arrow with a suction cup. An adult with such a toy can become the real king of the party if he carefully chooses who and how to “shoot” from it.

Shawls

  Cowboys wore handkerchiefs to cover their faces from road dust. This accessory usually remained around the neck so that it could always be lifted up to the nose.

Around the same scarves are recommended to wear now. Mandatory natural fabric and bright colors suitable for the color type and tastes of the owner.

  This is an integral part of the carnival and everyday image. The belt should be made of genuine hard leather, beautiful, comfortable. He simultaneously emphasizes the waist and supports jeans. You can add it with a buckle. For real cowboys, this part was inconspicuous and comfortable, never clinging to anything. But the modern mod can afford any shape and size. An interesting solution is to depict the sheriff’s star on the belt. It is also allowed to select any other pattern (for example, a skull).

Women's checked shirts

Cowboys wore spacious checkered shirts made of natural fabric - this particular item of clothing is called a “cowboy”. A cell can be large and small, light and dark. The sleeves of the shirts are often long, but they can be rolled up. The only difference between a female cowboy and a male cowboy is that it can be fitted. However, if a girl has a figure that doesn’t have a waistline (“apple”, for example), you can buy a model with a loose cut.

Men's checked shirts

  Cowboys for men make all kinds of colors and sizes. It is important to select them so that they fit well. The shirt should cover the trouser belt (if it is not tucked in), and the sleeves should be on the wrist, but it is not recommended to choose the length to the palm of your hand. It is advisable that the collar does not hit the neck. If the shirt “frowns” on the back and in the armpits, then it is small. If the sleeves reach the middle of the palm or fingers, then it is large. The main condition is to choose a shirt in size. Nobody in the Wild West was embarrassed by physique, people had much more important matters.

  This accessory is made of thick felt. The hats have round tulles with a crease and wide fields that bend upward. The color can be any, but shades of brown were especially popular. There should not be any feathers, ribbons and decorations - they are knocked out of style, and in a harsh cowboy life such elements would have been completely lost. There should not be a rope that you can so often find. On the one hand, it allows you not to lose a hat, on the other - anything happens on the road, so for a cowboy it would be very ridiculous and very unpleasant to catch a rope at the same time.

  It differs from the cowboy only in the presence of a star on the top. Otherwise, both the form, and the preferred material, and even the color, remain the same.

The classic cowboy shoes are high boots, the top of which covers both the ankle and the ankle. They have a narrow sock, slightly bending upwards - it was so convenient to get into the stirrup even after the man drank several shots of whiskey in the saloon. They have low stable heels - this is not only useful for posture, but also allows you to stay more firmly in the saddle due to the emphasis in the stirrup. They fit the part that covers the foot, but the boot is wide for better ventilation (in the Wild West it was hot in the summer and nobody wanted to sweat). Material - exclusively genuine leather, soft and with a specific brown color. No jewelry was implied, since it is difficult to chase a cow out of the herd or to prank on a horse, and at the same time not to catch a cord or buckle. The only thing allowed was a neatly stitched pattern with bright threads. Cowboy boots in a carnival costume cannot be replaced. But in a casual look, in which you just want to add a touch of romance, you can wear leather shoes or even comfortable sandals made of the same leather instead.

Do it yourself cowboy costume

  It’s easy to assemble a cowboy outfit with your own hands. There are two options for how to do this. The first is carnival. You will need:

• Light jeans. It is desirable classic cut, with scuffs on his knees. If the figure does not accept the classics, you can choose narrower or flared. The main thing is that they are bright, comfortable, and there is no unnecessary decor on them.
• Cowboy boots. Tall, with sharp noses and wide legs. Jeans can be tucked into them or left outside. It is not forbidden to add spurs (to better match the image).
• Checkered shirt. Fitted - for girls, free - for men, with long sleeves, any color.
• Neckerchief. Necessarily from natural fabric and bright color.
• Cowboy hat. The basic rule: if there are boots, the hat should be too.
• Sheriff's star. You can attach it to a shirt or hat.
• Vest. On top of a shirt, denim or leather, it is possible with a fringe.

To better match the look, you can add a lasso and a couple of revolvers to the costume.

  To make cowboy notes in your usual everyday outfit (this is the second possible option), you need to use everything exactly the same, but not right away. You can put on boots and a vest or neckerchief, combine a shirt and jeans or a cowboy hat - all this will refer to the style of Western. The main thing is that the clothes are comfortable.

Cowboy costumes for a boy

  Carnival costume of the Wild West will look great on a boy. They assemble it according to the same principles as an adult outfit: jeans, vest, boots, hat, sheriff's star, plaid shirt. It is important not to forget that the suit should be comfortable. It is necessary that the guy feel free, easy and confident in him, he should like the image.

Cowboy costume for girls

  Clothing for young ladies is somewhat more diverse than for boys. Instead of jeans, you can wear:

• Skirt. Desirable knee-length, voluminous, made of leather or natural fabric, with pockets. It should be easy for a girl to move in her.
• Shorts. Short denim shorts on the boy will not look, but the girl is just right. Besides, she won’t be hot.

  You can complement the image with decorations. It is allowed to put on wooden or clay beads, bracelets made of wood or glass, braid hair in braids or weave embroidered ribbons into them. It will be a combination of the image of a cowboy with the image of an Indian, but on girls it usually looks good.

An older young lady who already has her own tastes and wants to please the boys, can not only find a loose plaid shirt, but tie it under her chest - it looks relaxed and interesting, especially for 16 years old.

Adult cowboy costume

  There are several variations of the cowboy image. In principle, an adult costume is no different from a children's one. So, cowboy clothes for men require minimal compliance with style standards: a shirt, jeans, boots should not be changed for anything else. The requirements for the fair half of humanity are milder. Cowboy costumes for girls can be combined with Native American motifs: wear a wide leather skirt, which Indian women wore, braid braids, wear beads and bracelets. You can even choose a suitable dress. The main thing is ease and confidence in your sense of taste.

Other accessories

  There are other accessories that are related to cowboy themes:

• Jacket. The “leather jacket”, which was battered, was worn in the fall, when the summer heat subsided. It can be of any color, but always underneath they put on an invariable plaid shirt. It is advisable that she at least partially cover her hips and sit on the figure.
• Suspender. To prevent the pants from slipping, the cowboy could put on braces. In a modern way, this accessory is also appropriate.
• Lasso. The invariable attribute of a cowboy, the very thing that people who are trying to make a carnival costume need. Before the holiday, it is worth practicing - the lasso should look like the owner has a good idea of \u200b\u200bhow to bark a stubborn horse or put out a candle.

Dressing in country style means turning to the American past, remembering the romance of long forgotten years.

  To make the carnival costume look good, experts recommend:

• Sew it on a specific person. The things bought in the store are convenient and beautiful, but what is tailored to fit a specific figure looks much better.
• Practice walking in it before the time comes for an entertainment event. A man who dressed like a cowboy should have a good idea of \u200b\u200bhow to get a revolver, deploy a lasso, etc. Therefore, it is worth trying to dress in a suit in advance. You can even walk around the house for a couple of days to get used to it.

  But for everyday wear, the tips are different:

• Do not wear all the style attributes at once. Otherwise, it will turn out a caricature cowboy or “cowboy” who escaped from the museum. It is much better to choose a pair of recognizable and interesting accessories.
• It is not always appropriate to wear a hat in the city. It is useless and looks pretty stupid, especially if the yard is not a hot summer, but the usual cloudy days, for example, St. Petersburg. To put it on stands on the nature - where the branches climb into the face and the sun makes it difficult to navigate.
• Do not nail spurs to your boots. It looks funny, but still this attribute (like the sheriff’s star) is more suitable for a carnival costume than for everyday wear.

  If you adhere to these recommendations, you will be able to create a beautiful image that is appropriate both for the carnival and in ordinary life.

Dressing like a real cowboy is an interesting and fun experience. However, this will require the fulfillment of certain conditions. This is the only way you can create a cowboy costume that will look beautiful and original.

If we are talking about a New Year's costume for a child, then making a cowboy costume for him is not difficult. First you need to decide how our cowboy will look. Surely he will have a real cowboy hat, vest and fringed pants. A hat is best purchased at a store, as it will take a long time to make it. Everything else can be done by yourself. A dense velvet or denim fabric is most suitable for a suit. We fold the fabric in half, lay on it a children's shirt folded in half and circle it with chalk or soap, do not forget about the allowances for the seams.

Sew all parts of the vest. You can cut out a darker star from the fabric and sew it to the vest.





Pants are not difficult to make. To do this, we will use children's jeans, which are also circled, do not forget about allowances for seams.



Do not forget that for real cowboy pants we need to make a fringe, which is cut on a strip 7 cm wide.



Fringe will subsequently need to be attached to the legs.



As an addition, a bright neckerchief can be tied to the child’s neck.



You can sew leather inserts with loose edges on a regular shirt, you need to do the same with pants or trousers, but you will need a lot of leather or a substitute. Although for those who know how to knit, this is not a problem - you can simply replace the skin with knitted inserts.

• glue for paper;
• fleece fabric;
• any fabric material of a red shade;
• scissors;
• needle and thread;
• safety pins;
• sewing meter;
• synthetic winterizer;
• sewing machine.

Sewing accessories are necessary in case of tailoring suits with your own hands. You can also use unnecessary wardrobe items to create an original New Year's outfit.

Attention!   As additional decorations, you can use tinsel or Christmas tree rain.

Snowman costume

Funny snowmen are one of the main symbols of winter and New Year. A boy in this outfit will become the protagonist of the festive meeting.

For the manufacture of all components, you can use old wardrobe items.   It can be pajamas, a sweatshirt and pants. The main thing is necessarily white.

For buttons from red fabric, cut 3 small circles, sew them around the edges. We stuff them with a synthetic winterizer and sew it up completely. Sew the finished buttons to the blouse. The outfit is almost ready.

The main detail of any snowman is the nose. According to tradition, carrots are used as a nose. It can also be cut from a reddish-colored fabric. We measure out a small cone, carefully cut it out. Sew along the edge from the wrong side and twist. On the sides we outline two points for the elastic. We make small holes, sew the elastic to the nose. Sew the hole for the cotton in a small circle.

As ornaments, you can add a cap of colored paper, and tie a small strip of tinsel on the neck.

If you wish, you can sew a suit yourself.   Such a process also does not take much time. As a pattern for a blouse and pants, it is possible to use everyday products.

Advice!The blouse can be made longer and more voluminous at the bottom.

We flash all the components on a typewriter with the usual line. We bend the bottom of the sweatshirt and skip the seam, not reaching the end. We stuff with cotton or synthetic winterizer. It turns out a rounded tummy. Completely sew up the product. For jewelry we use buttons, a nose with a carrot, and a cap from the above method.

Many boys love pirates and sea robbers. You can go to the celebration in the attire of the legendary and beloved captain Jack Sparrow.

Any striped T-shirt will do. The bottom of t-shirts and sleeves can be cut in zigzag for a larger style. A mandatory element of Sparrow was a vest. Here you can also use the unnecessary attribute from the cabinet. The sharp edges should be trimmed to make them more rounded. As pants, you can use unnecessary trousers, jeans or sports tights (red, black or blue).

The main element of a pirate costume is a hat-hat.   The base can be printed and cut, it will be needed for a stencil. On the blank we cut a cocked hat on the non-woven. For greater stability, the back side can be glued cardboard.

For more effect, add a few accessories. From a white non-woven fabric you can cut the emblem of pirates (a skull with crossbones) and stick on a hat. Do not forget about the blindfold and the pirate knife - faithful companions. With such an outfit, any mischievous person will become a small copy of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Little chubby gnomes often accompany Santa Claus and his granddaughter. Therefore, such a costume at the New Year's celebration will be very relevant.

Reference! The process is easy, because for a suit fit products that are in any cabinet. Upstairs you can wear a white T-shirt, and in addition - a vest of bright colors. Bottom - shorts. It is desirable that the shorts and vest be the same color scheme.

Mandatory attributes of any gnome are short pants, striped knee-high socks and a cap. The cap does not have to be bought or sewn on its own. It can be cut out of colored paper, or sew from fabric. The top of the cap can be decorated with a pompom. The breeches will be obtained from any pants, you just need to shorten them and collect the bottom of the legs on an elastic band.

In addition to the costume, a thick false beard is also added. The cute gnome is ready.

Heroes of the Wild West fell in love with many boys. On New Year's Eve, you can fulfill the dream of a little defender by making an outfit of a brave and strong cowboy.

To sew trousers and a vest, you need brown suede fabric. We take measurements for patterns using other products. It should be remembered that cowboys preferred flared trousers that did not constrain movement. We impose measurements, stepping back a few centimeters from the main product, cut it out. We break off with safety pins from the wrong side and skip the line on the sewing machine.

Do not forget about fringe:   cowboys preferred to decorate their costumes with extra fittings. On a piece of fabric, measure out segments of 1 centimeter, cut it out. The fringe can be sewn to the step seam of trousers, on a vest or sleeve of a shirt.

The addition will be a holster for the pistol at the waist, a black hat and a thin bandana on the neck.

Advice!Instead of suede trousers, you can use old jeans.

Many boys are interested in themes of the Middle Ages, inspired by stories from cartoons and fairy tales. For the celebration of the New Year, the image of a brave and courageous knight is suitable.

The clothing of a real knight was heavy and reliable chain mail. To create a festive outfit, silver or gray fabric is suitable. We cut out a kind of vest from it to about the middle of the thigh, make an incision for the head and sleeves. The bottom of the product must be further developed: make a kind of cuts or cut the turrets.

The chest is decorated with a family coat of arms.   To do this, you can print your favorite picture, transfer it to the fabric. The emblem stencil is also useful when designing a shield. Transfer the drawings to a bright fabric, cut out all the components. Sew to the cape. Any sweatshirt or pullover in black is suitable underneath.

There is a shield in the box with toys from any warrior. Using a stencil we decorate the shield with the family coat of arms.

It remains to add the finishing touches - the sword and helmet. The costume of the faithful and brave knight is ready.

Advice!The shield and sword can be replaced with a crossbow and a bag with arrows.

Conclusion

The celebration of the New Year for each child creates a special feeling of a fairy tale and a miracle. Carnival costumes of various heroes will help every naughty boy to remember a holiday as a special and important event.

The film industry offers us the image of a cowboy as a kind of cool macho, riding a horse, with a three-day stubble, tanned in the sun, prairies and an indispensable lover of whiskey. And the most interesting thing is that of everything imposed on cinema, only tan and stubble will be true, they did not even use whiskey, but preferred beer. After all, cowboys are the same shepherds, the English "cowboy" comes from cow - a cow and boy - a guy. And these guys were never particularly rich to pay for whiskey. Yes, and they worked only in the warm season, doing cattle driving, driving around territories, minor repairs of animal pens, branding young animals and finding cows that had lost their way from the herd. In winter, they just had to work on a ranch for bread and shelter over their heads. The cowboy guys differed in not very exemplary behavior - lovers of cheap booze, returning from work, inspired fear and horror on the inhabitants of those towns along which the route followed. State authorities sometimes even had to hire local bandits to protect themselves from rampant cowboys. But what cowboys were masters of was rodeo - the ability to manage wild horses and bulls, throw lassos and demonstrate the upbringing of their four-legged friends, that is, horses.

Rodeo competitions have survived to this day. And although modern American shepherds do not look so picturesque, and behave much more modestly, interest in them is still present thanks to westerns, advertising and country music.

How to make a cowboy costume with your own hands?

The cowboy costume at the carnival is one of the most simple to manufacture and does not require much time for its preparation. Almost all of its elements are in every home. Consider the details of the costume:

• cowboy leather pants or jeans
• cowboy hat called stetson
• cowboy plaid shirt
• fringed vest and neckerchief
• cowboy pointy boots
• holster with revolvers and a leather belt.

You can supplement the image of a lasso - with a rope with a loop at the end and even make a cowboy horse, but what is listed above is quite enough to create an image of a real conqueror of wild prairies.

Cowboy pants can have leather inserts and fringe on the sides. You can decorate the vest with the same fringe. Cowboys wore shirts in a cage and buttons, but the usual checkered with buttons will be just right. A wide belt can be taken from dad, but a holster with revolvers is better to make yourself from a piece of suede. For this, from the material we make two triangular pockets. They will have revolvers lying in such a way that the handle looks out. Fasten these pockets to the belt using special pads.

Cowboy boots will require some work - their heels need to be knocked out and metal rivets made. You can decorate them with a fringe on the sides.

But if at home you will not find a hat with wide brim, do not be discouraged, this is easy to do yourself.

The figure shows how to make a pattern for such a hat from thick paper.

Our cowboy is ready! You can go to the carnival.

And finally, an interesting fact from cowboy life. In the history of America there was a president whose profession was a cowboy. His name was Theodore Roosevelt. At the very beginning of his career, he worked as a shepherd.
