The focus of this exploration involves attire choices for the Halloween season that reflect or incorporate elements of Hispanic cultures. These choices can range from costumes directly representing historical figures or folklore characters to adaptations of popular themes infused with Hispanic cultural aesthetics. For example, a “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) inspired makeup design paired with traditional clothing serves as a relevant example.
These sartorial selections provide a means of celebrating cultural heritage during a widely observed holiday. They can promote awareness and appreciation of diverse traditions, fostering inclusivity and understanding within communities. Historically, costumes served as a means of honoring ancestors and deities, a function that continues to resonate within some cultural expressions for Halloween.
