Circus Costumes.

Circus costumes have evolved over time with emaculate detail, designers have continued to create magnificent bold costumes that truly identify the role off the performers. Each performer has usually got a costume like outfit that translates through each circus. For example, Ringleaders traditionally wear a red tail-coat jacket with a top hat. Many traditional circus' continue with this tradition on a very literal scale but some circus' like to mix things up a bit and create a similar look but a little bit more creative. There is the traditional clown with the big red nose but these days the class clown is dresses in much more realistic ideas of what clown humour is.
The acrobats usually wear leotards that are skin tight with excellent detain that shines off the bright circus spotlights, these costumes usually relate to the act, for example if the performance is about two frogs that fall in love the costumes will reflect that, they would be different shades of green with a silver reflective surfaces to resemble the frog like simmer.
Costumes designers work very hard to make the costumes beautiful and spectacular as the audience is drawn in by the spectacular performance. The costumes help them engage into the story that the acrobats are portraying.
