Shopping for Superman

* The most recent Superman movie brought with it a renewed interest in the character and a subsequent proliferation of accessories and costumes. While designed for everyday play, one of the most unique Superman costume pieces is certainly the Superman shirt and cape with inflatable muscles.
* The basic Superman costume is available for adults and children. While you should check multiple stores for the best prices when shopping online, ultimately, there are only a handful of different costumes available, with most stores stocking nearly identical selections.
* Don't have the abs of steel an authentic Man of Steel requires? Just buy a costume with the muscles molded directly into the shirt, available for men and boys.
* Reenact the classic transformation from Clark Kent to Superman with a suit that opens to reveal the Superman logo, offered in kid and adult sizes.
* If you have several hundred dollars to devote to your costuming, you can purchase a latex and foam Superman suit. Since the cost is so much more than the average person would spend on a costume, it's a good candidate for a rental.
* Available accessories include Kryptonite shards, Clark Kent glasses, a break-apart chain and bendable steel.
* Have a super baby? Check out this infant and toddler costume and bunting costume with logo and cape.
* Let your canine companion join in on the fun with a Superdog costume.

Creating a Superman Costume

Superman's look can be broken down into the following components.
[edit]
Blue Tights or Pants

The tighter the pants, the more authentic the look. However, not everybody has Superman's body, and sometimes more practical concerns, like needing to wear sweatpants to go trick-or-treating on a cold night, take precedence.

Red Briefs

If you can find the right size, cheerleading briefs are similar in design. Red swimming briefs may also do the trick. You can also create your own pair of briefs with a minimal amount of sewing by cutting the front and back of the briefs out of one piece of fabric and sewing the sides.

Yellow Belt

A strip of fabric or plastic fastened around the waist works well for the belt. Official plastic belts are also available.
