What should be the costume?
An animator's costume, first of all, should attract attention and evoke extremely positive emotions. Looking at him, a person should be distracted from his problems, receive psychological relief. The costume of an artist can look like an outfit of a fairy-tale character with its inherent attributes, an animal, a typical clown clothing.

Such an outfit allows them to mentally travel back to childhood, to make childhood dreams come true (for example, to feel like a queen or a brave superhero).
Both men and women animators can easily find a suitable outfit for themselves, and for any holiday or occasion. So, for themed parties, the costumes of the king, musketeer, superheroes are most in demand. The pirate's outfit is especially popular.

This spectacular outfit is appropriate in a variety of settings - both outdoors and indoors.... Inflatable suits are not afraid of rain and frost, have high wear resistance (after a couple of years of active use, they look like new), which, of course, increases their value. The dense shell is very difficult to accidentally cut or puncture.
Good quality inflatable costumes won't blow off during the event. A miniature built-in fan inflates the outfit initially and maintains the required pressure level without requiring additional pumping.

How to choose?
An animator's costume is an integral part of his profession. Often, due to the nature of the work (when an artist performs with his own specific program), it is necessary to use the same outfit for a long time. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose a quality suit.
- The aesthetic qualities of the props should come first. There is no need to skimp on the beauty and brightness of the product.
- The thing must be comfortable and not restrict movement. After all, the animator will have to spend a lot of time in a suit, and not just stand, but actively move, sing and dance with the guests.And quick fatigue will inevitably affect the well-being and mood of the artist.
- If the festive program provides for the participation of a number of characters, which will be played by one animator, then it is advisable to purchase a universal costume that can be easily modified with the help of accessories and various elements.
- Of course, the costume must be made of high quality material, especially if it will be used intensively (dances, outdoor games).
Strong, wrinkle-free fabric and accessories (zippers), flawless tailoring, securely fastened decor are a must if you do not want your outfit to tear at the most unexpected moment. An important point - the outfit should be donned without any problems without assistance.
