Staff Pick of the Week: Harley Quinn

It’s Monday, which means that is time for another Staff Pick of the Week. Last week, we saw the release of the first official trailer of the highly anticipated movie Suicide Squad. The trailer finally showed us a glimpse of what we can expect from the film when it is released in August. We have chosen the Harley Quinn costume because she is going to be one of the key characters in the new superhero/supervillian action movie. This evil and quirky character will be portrayed by the brilliant Margot Robbie.

Staff Pick of the Week: I Will Rock You Jumpsuit

It’s Staff Pick of the Week time again and we have gone back to the 80’s to find inspiration for this week’s chosen costume. The costume is inspired by the iconic Freddy Mercury who rose to fame when he was the frontman of the legendary rock band Queen. Read why Jenny chose this as the costume of the week:

We will rock you

“The staff pick for this week is the I Will Rock You jumpsuit and jacket. I chose this costume because a friend of mine recently acquired an incredible vinyl figure of Freddie Mercury in his iconic yellow buckled jacket, complete with posable arms for that brilliant power stance we all know and love. This costume would be great to wear out on a karaoke night, to help you channel your inner rockstar”.

Staff Pick of the Week: Spaceman Jumpsuit

It’s Monday again, which means that it is time for another Staff Pick of the Week. This week we have opted for a costume that is out of this world – The Spaceman Jumpsuit. Read below why Amy chose this as this week’s Staff Pick of the Week.

The Staff Pick of the week is Spaceman Jumpsuit. I picked this costume because recently I went to see The Martian. I thought it was a brilliant movie, but to be honest im not the biggest Matt Damon fan. It took a lot of persuading to get me to see a movie with him in it. I have to admit he done a pretty good job. Included in the costume is a jumpsuit with hood, gloves and bootcovers. Its amazing value for money. Any fan off space and NASA would be delighted with this creative costume.

Sizes available are medium and large in mens sizes.
