Don’t forget your sunscreen and camera! You will be on vacation as this wacky couple with the tacky tourist costume.

The tourist costume makes for a very unique and eclectic costume, and one that can be used as a solo outfit, or together as a couple’s outfit. What’s great about this costume is that it’s very simple at its core, and yet instantly recognizable. It can also be accessorized in many unique ways.

Wacky Tourist Costume

The first thing you may be thinking is, what exactly would constitute a tourist costume? A tourist after all could realistically wear just about anything. When most people think of tourists though, they have that image of tacky clothes and an over exuberance for their holiday destination, and these traits are what great tourist costumes emphasize.

The Tacky Traveler Adult Costume fully brings out all of these fun touristy traits. The costume is centered around its one piece jumpsuit of blue Bermuda shorts and white shirt, with “Which way to the buffet?” printed on it. The Hawaiian Shirt and Short Set Adult features extremely tacky, Hawaiian themed shirt and short combo.

These sets come with several great optional accessories. For the Tacky Traveler Adult Costume, you can pick up Class Nerd Glasses with Clear Lenses, and Coconut Cup with Flower and Straw, among other accessories. The Hawaiian Shirt and Short Set Adult has a couple of clever accessories than can be added, the Maui Lei, which is a traditional Hawaiian flower wreath, and the 18” Coconut Ukelele, very similar to a banjo.Tourist Costume

The tourist look also makes for a great costume as it can be accessorized in many ways with things you probably have lying around your house already. For example, you have several choices of footwear, which include the sneakers and no socks look, or the sandals with socks look, both of which accentuate a tourist costume very well.

If that does not satisfy your vacation attire, check out this the tacky tourist costume.  This outrageous Tacky Tourist adult costume is made up of an over sized Hawaiian print shirt and attached shorts. Add some fun touristy accessories (sold separately) and you are sure to make an impression.

You’ll also need a hat and glasses, the tackier the better. Any type of straw hat or wide brimmed hat would work exceedingly well, and for the sunglasses, any coloured sunglasses and/or any large framed or oddly framed (think stars or giant hearts) glasses is the perfect fit. Other accessories which can be added could be a camera hanging around your neck, and a map sticking out of one of your pockets or held in your hand. Look around your house, you may also be able to find other things to make your tourist costume unique.

One final touch that really adds to the visual draw of your tourist costume is white makeup on the nose. This is a classic sign of someone who isn’t used to being out in the blistering native sun, and needs some added protection from sunburn. It’s a great addition to any tourist costume.

Simple at its core, and simple to get into and wear, the tourist costume is perfect for just about any costume party. It’s not so outlandish as to be over the top, yet is still visually striking and appealing, and will make you stand out from the crowd, even from a crowd filled with aliens, mermaids and super heroes.
