Fancy Dress for a 13yr old boy

[snookhams]

DS has been invited to a fancy dress party in September, and wondered if anyone had any ideas for fancy dress costumes for teenage boys! we are totally stumped. Wanted to make a start as we are off to Sheffield next friday for the Nationals arrive home on Tues to go to Gatwick Wed. for twilight checkin and return from florida end of August.

I am a dab hand with a sewing machine so not afraid of making anything its just ideas!!! . DS is 13yrs old into swimming, Basketball most teenage things (oh and is 6'2" so don't want anything that would look to silly on him)

So come on can you get your thinking caps on.......

Any theme? if not try something thats 'in' at the mo, how about willy wonka although he may not be keen on the Johnny Depp bowl-style haircut, or how about trying something from the new fantastic four movie, maybe not the rock thing as I don't think he'd appreciate you rolling him in concrete

Thanks CarolFoy I will suggest both to him and see what he thinks you know how fickle teenagers can be....

What about a superhero - Spiderman etc?

Going back to Johnny Depp - how about a Captain Jack Sparrow outfit, that would look very cool
