Costumes Beginning with W

When it comes to costume parties or Halloween, there’s nothing quite like a good theme to get everyone excited. And if the theme is costumes beginning with the letter W, you’re in for some creative, wacky, and wonderful fun!

Whether you’re helping your little one with a school costume day or brainstorming ideas for yourself, this list has got you covered.

Fun Letter W Costume Ideas

Let’s chat about some fun and fabulous costume ideas for all age, starting with W! 

Witch

Let’s start with a classic, witches. Whether you're going for spooky or sassy, a witch costume is a no-brainer. You probably already have half the things you need in your closet: a black dress and a pair of boots. Add a pointy hat and a broomstick (or even a mop if you’re improvising), and you’re good to go!

Pro Tip: If your kiddo is wearing this, throw in a cute cauldron bucket for their candy haul. Trust me, it doubles as a prop and a practical storage solution for all that sugar.

Werewolf

 A werewolf costume might be just your thing! All you need is a plaid shirt, ripped jeans, and some furry accessories (think gloves, ears, and a tail). A little face paint for that scruffy snout completes the look.

Watermelon

Looking for something fruity and fun? Go as a watermelon! This costume is sweet, colorful, and easy to DIY. Use a red dress or t-shirt with black "seeds" (felt or paper dots), then add a green skirt or leggings for the rind.

Kid Option: If your little one isn’t into full costumes, a simple watermelon headband or a slice-shaped prop can do the trick.

Wizard

Calling all Harry Potter fans! A wizard costume is magical and timeless. Dust off that graduation gown, grab a wand (or even a stick from the yard), and let the spellcasting begin. Bonus points if you add a hat and a fake beard for the full Dumbledore vibe.

Walrus

This one’s for the adventurous dressers out there. A walrus costume is quirky and unexpected. You can find pre-made options online, or go DIY with a gray onesie and some homemade tusks (cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil works great).

Waiter/Waitress

This costume is perfect for last-minute ideas. A white button-up shirt, black pants, and a dish towel over the arm create an instantly recognizable look. Add a tray with a fake glass of wine (or juice box for the kids), and you’re set!

Willy Wonka

Channel your inner candy enthusiast with a Willy Wonka costume! A purple coat, top hat, and a cane are all you need to step into the world of chocolate and golden tickets. It’s fun, and perfect for both kids and adults.

Wild West Cowboy/Cowgirl

Yeehaw! Dust off those cowboy boots, grab a plaid shirt, and slap on a hat. A bandana around the neck completes this iconic look. It’s simple, comfy, and great for any age.

Wolf

Whether it’s the Big Bad Wolf or a generic woodland version, this costume is a hit. Add some furry ears and a tail to your wardrobe basics. For a cheeky touch, pair it with a "Little Red Riding Hood" sidekick!

Water Fairy

Think Tinkerbell but with a splash of blue and sparkles. A flowy blue dress, fairy wings, and glittery makeup bring this magical creature to life. It’s a gorgeous choice for kids who love all things fantasy.

Wall-E

For those who love a challenge, a Wall-E costume is unforgettable! This one’s ideal for crafty moms who don’t mind a little cardboard engineering. Paint a box yellow, add Wall-E’s signature eyes, and voila! Your kid is now everyone’s favorite trash-compacting robot.

Warrior

Channel your inner Wonder Woman or medieval knight with a warrior costume. Think capes, shields, and lots of confidence. This costume works for kids and adults, with endless variations to fit your vibe.

White Rabbit

“Alice in Wonderland” fans, this one’s for you! The White Rabbit is cute, quirky, and recognizable. Pair a white outfit with bunny ears and a pocket watch (real or fake), and you’re ready to hop into the party.

Windmill

Feeling crafty? Go as a windmill! This one’s perfect if you’re looking to stand out. Create blades out of cardboard and attach them to a harness or shirt. It’s unique, funny, and surprisingly easy to pull off.

Wednesday Addams

The queen of deadpan humor and spooky vibes, Wednesday Addams is a hit. All you need is a black dress with a white collar, braids, and a pouty face. Bonus points if you carry around a Thing hand!

Wookiee

For all the Star Wars fans, dress up as Chewbacca! You can buy a fuzzy Wookiee suit online or DIY with brown clothing and faux fur. A toy crossbow completes the look.

Wedding Guest (or Bride)

Turn the costume party into your personal red-carpet moment! Wear a fancy dress, carry a bouquet, and call yourself a wedding guest, or go all out as a bride.

Wine Bottle

Who says costumes can’t be funny? Dress as your favorite wine bottle! You can DIY this with a green outfit and a printed label. Or wear a white tee shirt with a funny saying on it.

Worm

Simple, silly, and oh-so-fun! A worm costume can be made with a brown or pink sleeping bag. This one is great for a laugh and perfect for anyone who loves funny costumes.

Wolverine

Superhero fans, this is your moment. Channel Wolverine with some claws (plastic ones, of course), a leather jacket, and that signature scowl. It’s a hit with kids and grown-ups alike.

Costumes starting with "W" offer a world of possibilities, whether you're going for funny, creative, or downright adorable. The best part? Many of these are easy to DIY, saving you time and money, because as moms, we’re always looking for ways to keep things fun and practical.
