Dress up as your favorite Star Trek character!

Fans of all ages are intrigued to wear Star Trek costumes. There are so many shows as well as movies now, you have lots of options. No matter if you are just looking for something to wear to a party or you are an avid Trekkie on the way to a convention, you can find the right costume.

The first thing to do is decide which Star Trek era you are going for. Is it the original series that you love the best? Or maybe you prefer Deep Space 9, The Next Generation, Enterprise or Voyager? Or maybe it is one of the movies that really sparks your creativity?

Whichever you prefer is going to have an impact on your costume in more ways than just uniform changes. In the first series, for example, the Klingons were the enemy. Later on, they began to work with the Federation. Their makeup changed quite a bit also.

Your budget will also have an impact on what you can choose. Your entire costume can be purchased if you want to spend that much cash. In that case, you can choose to be whomever or whatever you like and buy the clothes, makeup and accessories. If you would rather not purchase your whole outfit, it will be cheaper to keep to a Starfleet uniform and a human or character more closely resembling one than a Klingon.

For example, if you are in Starfleet, you can easily put together the shirt and pants. Just be sure that you have the right colors and design for the time period you are going for. You can find plenty of references online to help you with that. Obviously, the simplest uniforms are from the original series. If you are creatively inclined and up for some extra work, you can find uniform patterns also. This will enable you to get a more realistic looking costume.

Regarding makeup, if you prefer not to be a human, you can go for the Vulcan look and make or buy prosthetic ears. A Bajoran is also fairly easy to do with just a bit of make-up. Keep in mind that more make-up is also going to mean more expense and the more elaborate it is, the more difficult it is going to be to make it look right.

Accessories are a good place to spend some extra money to help your character look more authentic. You can invest in the correct weapons, badges or communicator for example. If your uniform is not perfect, an authentic looking phaser will go a long way to make up for it.

If you have a favorite episode or scene in a movie, you might be able to find a prop that will fit as well. Fans of the first series could make their own tribbles, for example. Little touches like this will really make your costume special.

Star Trek costumes are a perfect choice for any science fiction fan. Take the time to come up with some prop ideas and make or find the outfit you want. With the right couple of accessories, you will look like you graduated from the Academy.
