Elf costumes are popular for people of all ages to wear during Halloween. There are numerous different types of elf costumes that people can wear. The most popular type is the Santa's helper elf costume. This is usually a green top usually accompanied with some sort of red, yellow or green leggings and a pointed, green hat. The costumes are usually meant to look like Will Ferrel's character in the movie Elf.

Other elf costumes may take on a darker look than the cheery Christmas elf costume. Some costumes have a creepy, wizard like look with dark robes and a dark colored hat. Others will have a more medieval look to them, especially for women, where costumes may look more like medieval dress gown accompanied with the pointed hat.
