FUN Costumes Vintage Pierrot Clown Fancy Dress Costume for Men Black/W

Poor poor, Pierrot! That poor Pierrot! It seems like every single time we watch one of those traveling theater troupes from Commedia Dell'arte put on a play, the clown Pierrot always seems to get the short end of the stick. Sure, he often plays the bumbling fool, but really he's just a guy down on his luck. He's always the butt of the jokes, never... moregets the girl, and always ends up sad by the end of the play.  What? What do you mean that's his character? Wait, so all of the characters in those plays are caricatures, and Pierrot is the sad tragic clown all the time? Well. That clears a lot up. If that's the case, then we really must commend the poor Pierrot (and his actor) for always making us pity him. Superb! Excellent! A most stupendous character indeed.  Fun Details Well, know that we know what Pierrot's point is, we feel confident in offering our own Vintage Pierrot Clown Men's Costume for any theatre enthusiasts who would like to try their hand at the role of Pierrot. This costume includes a white shirt with black pompoms down the front and elastic at the sleeve cuffs. The white pants have an elastic waistband, as well as gathering at the ankles. There are many ruffly layers at the neck, wrists, and ankles, all with a stark black edging. This outfit even comes with a black stretch knit hood and is a FUN.com exclusive.  Go go, Pierrot! There you have it. If you're an actor or theatre enthusiast, you can try becoming the tragic clown! Wow, that sounds pretty depressing. Like we didn't mean to make it sound that bad. Being Pierrot is a great opportunity, really! Good practice and experience! Well, we're not really into theater, so we can't 100 percent verify that statement, but we're pretty sure we're right. Don't worry, we'll be rooting for you and the tragic Pierrot!

FUN Costumes Men's Vintage Pierrot Clown Fancy Dress Costume Black/Whi

We all know the trope of the sad clown. The question is, where did that idea come from? After they realized kids were simply scared of them, did they all just get depressed? Did they become car sick after riding in those tiny cars with their coworkers? Turns out, we can blame their disposition on the grandfather of the modern clown, Pierrot. A char... moreacter pantomimed by many popular actors at the time, his character often started out happy and hopeful, he often ended up so helplessly defeated that people couldn't help but laugh at the tragedy. Making his first appearance in the 1600s Pierrot could possibly be the most popular clown of all time, even Krusty the clown would have a hard time competing with his career. Pierrot has been a character in operas, plays, and books. His black and white ensemble is instantly recognizable in well-known paintings and film. The baggy outfits of clowns today come from Pierrot's often disheveled appearance, though our Pierrot seems to be more put together than usual. The ensemble has a lightly layered ruff at the neck as well as gathered ruffle detail at the wrists and ankles. The knit hood gives you a streamlined look, ready for the time-honored painted white face of the character. Wearing this costume you could clown around through the ages and never look out of place. Whether you're looking for a fun yet sophisticated Halloween costume or you've scored one of the great Pierrot roles out there, you'll be in the company of great actors of history. You might be a sad clown, but hey, at least you aren't a mime!
