costume

An outfit which one normally wears for special occasions or functions, outside of personal formality or professionalism (except in a few cases, such as actors and mascots), which tends to deviate from one's personal style; a costume is often worn as a representation or reference of either a fictional or famous Person, Animal, or Idea (such as an emotion, a sentient monster, or a place). They can be hand-made or professionally tailored - likewise, they can be made of anything, from cardboard and Solo Cups to silk and velvet. There is also a market for Pet Costumes.

In some American and European Countries, many people observe Halloween by dawning costumes in the likeness of animals, celebrities, monsters, witches, emergency personnel, and pop culture icons like a glass of beer or a dildo.

At certain expositions, it is also common, if not customary, to wear a costume. Such events include various Anime Conventions (Anime Expo), (San Diego/NewYork) Comic Con, and Furry Conventions (AnthroCon).
