Attire donned by adolescents on the holiday of Halloween for purposes of celebratory masquerade is the core subject. These costumes are typically thematic, often drawing inspiration from popular culture, historical figures, or supernatural entities. As an example, a teenager might select an ensemble replicating a character from a recent film or a figure from mythology.
The selection and wearing of these specialized garments hold cultural significance, fostering creativity, self-expression, and social interaction. Historically, the tradition is rooted in ancient customs of warding off spirits, evolving into a contemporary practice of festive participation and community engagement during autumnal celebrations.
