Wigs by themes:

Jungle Theme

Why not grab a Wild wig to be a jungle cave man or woman. They come in great assortment of colours. With a leopard print dress a cave women will evolve. And for the men, just add some baggy old dirty clothes and the cave man is your look.

Pirates – Ahoy

When we think of pirates Jonny Depp comes to mind with his dreadlock looking and red head band. Just like the pirate wig. Or the Pony tail Warrior from some of the classics like Mulan or Aladdin.

Circus

A circus theme can be so much fun. There is always the classic clown. A red nose, bright coloured make up, shoes and clothes and you are set to go. The costume would not be complete with out a white afro to match. Or something like the Queen of hearts will look like you came straight back from the Mad Hatters party.

Egyptian theme

The Egypitian theme is full of gold, toga style clothes and a black wig with ornamental head band and the occasional plait in the hair. The Nile Queen would be a perfect fit.

Colonial

Colonial times can be anything between the 16^th Century and the 20th Century. It was back when synthetic fibres didn’t really exist. Clothes were made of cotton and linen. Wigs were worn by many. Men wear white wigs and ladies wore wigs with long ringlets and big styles. Why not try a Colonial man wig or a New Z? With the wig and a linen shirt and jodpur type pants the man is done. Ladies wore petticoats and long flowing dresses.

1920s

Fashion in the 1920s was the beginning of modern clothing. Men and women alike started to dress a little more casual than the restricted undergarment like a girdle. It is often referred to as the roaring 20s. And of course our Roaring 20s wig is just perfect, as well as Lanar and Marilyn.

1980s

The 1980s was a fun time for fashion. Clothes and fashion accessories were bright and colourful. Shoulder pads were big. Hair styles were generally big, bouffant and heavily styled. Lots of gel and hair spray were absolutely essential. And for men sideburns were all the go. Big hair styles were also fashionable for men just like the women. Shows like Dynasty, Magnum PI and Charlies Angels were just some of the favorites and many took their hair style from these celebrities. And of course for the men big moustaches like Magnum were definetly in fashion. The Punky, and Farrah Fawcett, are just a couple wigs that come to mind.
