If you want to dress up as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader for Halloween, it’s pretty easy to make one yourself. You don’t need to buy an expensive outfit (unless of course that’s your jam). With some basic thrift store finds and a few simple items, you can create the look for less. Here’s what you need and how to put together a DIY Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Costume.
The base of the Cowboys cheerleaders outfit is a shiny, blue button-down. Of course theirs is “tied” right under the boobs for an ultra cropped look but you do what you’re comfortable with. Look in both the mens and women’s long sleeved shirt sections to find something you can tie. If you can’t find a button down, any long-sleeved, royal blue, fitted shirt should do.
You’ll need a white vest or a sleeveless top to wear over the blue button-down shirt. If you can’t find a true white suiting vest then look for a small sweater vest or v-neck crop tank that can be worn layered over top of the long-sleeved shirt.
Grab some white shorts from a thrift store or your closet. The shorter the better. I mean, can you even call them shorts? If you can’t find shorts then a white mini skirt or even white pants cutoff into shorts will do!
The cheerleaders wear tall white boots. You can find some at a thrift store or use any white boots you already own.
If you don’t have boots, white sneakers with white crew socks could work too.
No DIY Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader costume is complete without pom-poms. You can find blue and white pom-poms online, or you can make your own using tissue paper.
And there you have it! A DIY Dallas Cowboys cheerleader costume that’s fun, easy to make, and budget-friendly. With just a few thrift store finds and a little creativity, you’ll be game-day ready in no time.
