The Lost Pirate Kingdom Netflix Docuseries
The Lost Pirate Kingdom is a series that is currently streaming on Netflix and is the number one trending show on Netflix Canada right now. The swashbuckling pirate episodes are expected to generate continued steady interest and possibly lead to other Netflix series. We know from other recent popular Netflix series, like The Game of Thrones, that whenever fans get really into a show, they will share their enthusiasm for the show. One of the ways these inspired fans have expressed themselves is through dress-up costumes. With the popularity of The Lost Pirate Kingdom series, expect to see many pirates this Halloween, which will lead to a lot of fun for everyone.
We all remember what Johnny Depp from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean did for the popularity of pirate costumes. It is well documented that Johnny Depp used to travel with his Jack Sparrow pirate costume, just in case. Now that it has been several years since the last installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, fans have been growing impatient for fresh bounty. With this latest Netflix production, it is more than a little likely a massive resurgence in the popularity of pirate costumes. Along with that, there will, of course, be pirates showing up everywhere from Halloween parties, in television commercials and popular media.
In truth, even though pirates were all always men, women’s pirate costumes have always been a favorite choice with women and with good reason. Women can enjoy the pirate costume just as much as the men, and why not? In fact, the Netflix series revisits the story of Anne Bonny. Anne Bonny was an Irish pirate operating in the Caribbean. It is great to see a docuseries casting a female pirate and pushing back some of the myths and misconception that only men could be a pirate. Although Anne Bonny’s story is truly exceptional, she can be seen sporting a classic pirate tricorn hat and armed with a musket. Most like Anne may not have worn clothing quite as stylish and whimsical as our contemporary women’s pirate costumes. That said, Anne Bonny would have made quite an impression on her captives in her full pirate regalia.
What, where and when to wear a pirate costume
With so many pirate characters, men have always had plenty of role models to emulate. Whether it is inspired by Captain Morgan, Blackbeard, or a fictional character such as Jack Sparrow, men will have plenty of choices in terms of pirate costumes. There are plenty of options for women and kids as well and do not be surprised to see families getting in on the act as group theme this Halloween. And why not get the babies and pets in on the show as well? What could be more adorable or cute than a family with a pet pirate and baby pirate in tow? Other occasions might trigger a family to dress up their dog or a baby in a pirate and create that perfect Instagram or Tiktok clip.
Themed costuming at Halloween for a whole family has been on the rise for some time now and finding the kids pirate costumes are an extra bonus. Getting the babies and pets involved just spreads the fun a little more. Obviously, in these situations, the pet or baby would not know exactly who they are trying to impersonate, so it is bound to be a little spontaneous. However, it would be fun for everyone since, obviously, a pet or baby cannot be a mean pirate. It would be a fun little joke for everyone involved. Dressing a baby up like a pirate would be an amusing little anecdote to tell the child about when they are a little bit older. Dressing a pet as a pirate could also be a lot of fun, especially if the pet can be trained to do tricks like fetching your sabre, musket or just walking the plank.
