Top 5 Emoji Costumes to Put a Smiley on Your Face!

By Shrey Sankalp

You know we're not exaggerating when we say that emojis have become an essential part of our lives - they're so ubiquitous that, forget costumes, they're in the Oxford English Dictionary!  Emoji was even the word of the year in 2015!
What started as a fun little way to add some visual oomph to the otherwise dull wall to wall text nature of instant messages, has become all pervasive and it's hard to imagine a medium where we are not bombarded by emojis.
And now we're also about to get a movie based on emojis, so yeah, get ready for a whole lot of emoji costumes this Halloween.

And because we know emoji costumes are going to be really big this year and we are fundamentally very nice people, we thought we'd make you a list of emoji costumes you'd do well to have in your cart, should you wish to get a jump start on the whole emoji costume trend in time for Halloween.
Without further ado, let's dive right in.

1. Open Mouth Smile Emoticon Costume - Product # WC43971

You know what they say about smiles, don't you?

There's a power in a smile that just can't be explained. Of all of human behavior and its implications, nothing is as meaningful as a smile. Of course, texting can't quite replicate the same effect, but emojis come in tremendously handy in such situations, especially the mouth open smile emoji.
The Open Mouth Smile Emoticon Costume aims to capture the effects of the emoji on the human psyche in a costume form, and you can rest assured your costume with its pearly whites will have people baring their pearly whites when they see you!

2. Wink and a Smile Emoticon Costume - Product # WC43970

You know what that means.

If there's an emoji that rivals a smile for expressiveness, it has to be the winking one. An extremely all-purpose emoji, the winking emoji is equal parts playful, suggestive and everything in between, and just as the emoji can punch up the mood of every conversation, the Wink and a Smile Costume can demonstrate your playful side and spin the mood of whatever room you waltz into!

3. Winky Tongue Out Emoticon Costume - Product # WC43969

As wacky as it gets!

Wacky has its own charm, and it doesn't get any wackier than the tongue sticking out emoji! The ultimate paragon of taking things less seriously than they should be taken, the tongue sticking out emoji might seem context sensitive, but it's not, as its liberal usage will prove.
In fact, the emoji can be used just about anywhere to lighten the mood!
The Winky Tongue Out Emoticon costume certainly is big on lightening the mood and the costume's exaggerated in your face nature goes perfectly with that of the emoji and makes for a costume that'll be remembered.

4. Cool Shades Emoticon Costume - Product # WC51840

Too cool

The Cool Shades Emoticon Costume features as a favorite on our list (which just goes to show how tremendously popular it is).  A simple pair of shades makes all the difference!
Being a simple overhead tunic with an imprinted smiley, the Cool Shades Emoticon Costume is an easy way to express "swag" through emoji, just as you would on text messages.
Hey, when was that ever a bad thing? ;-)

5. Friendly Little Smiley Baby Costume - Product #WC38624

As unique as it gets!

The Friendly Little Smiley Baby Costume is perhaps the most unique costume on this list, in the sense that not only is it the only costume aimed at toddlers (it'll look better on them than fully grown adults, let's be honest) but it actually transforms you into a living emoji.
Sure this costume passes up on the traditional roundness associated with an emoji, but come on, with looks like that, aesthetic accuracy of the shape variety is the last thing on your mind.

Of course, this is only a top 5 list, and just as there are countless emojis to suit the sensibilities of countless conversations between countless people, there are countless emoji costumes for everyone at Wonder Costumes.
