The word "masquerade" has its roots in
the French word "mascarade" and the
Italian word "maschera," but
masquerades likely originated on the West
African coast. Similarities exist between
the Italian Commedia dell' Arte and the
Nigerian Yoruba masked comedy.
Masquerade first became popular in
Venice, Italy and the practice of
masquerade balls quickly spread
throughout Europe and England in the 18th
century. During the same period, African
ceremonial masquerades spread to the
Caribbean and southeastern United States,
where it evolved into carnivals.
WHAT TO WEAR TO A
MASQUERADE PARTY
Not sure what to wear to a masquerade party? Deciphering the dress code can certainly be challenge –
particularly when you’re not sure how formal it’s going to be.
Fortunately, we’re on hand with all the masquerade ball costume ideas you need to put together the
perfect masquerade outfit. Read on for advice!
The beauty of a masquerade costume is that it’s a really easy one to put together as it only has two
main components – a dress or formal men’s wear, and a mask.
The perfect fancy dress theme for lovers and haters of fancy dress, your costume can be as low-key or
as extravagant as you like and if you’re not a particular fan of dressing up, you won’t look out of place if
you don’t go all out.
Traditionally, masquerade balls were elegant and formal affairs so
start your costume with whatever you’d normally wear to a black
tie event – i.e. a ball gown for women or a tuxedo for men.
However, if you really want to get into the spirit of the event, you
could go for an actual Venetian-style masquerade dress.
Masquerade balls date back to 15th century Italy, and a dress
with a high collar and puffy sleeves like this is the signature look
from that period.
Of course, the dress code isn’t quite as stuffy these days as it was in the Renaissance period, so your
dress can be shorter than the huge ball gowns the ladies used to wear.
Our next important piece of advice for choosing a masquerade mask is to pick one that’s easy to
wear. If you think it’s going to annoy you all night, or you think you’ll want to take it off as soon as
you get to the party, pick a different one. The idea of a masquerade ball is to keep your identity
concealed all night until the big reveal at the end of the party, so don’t ruin it by choosing a mask
you won’t want to wear.
You’ll probably want to eat and drink during the party so if this is the case, go for a masquerade
mask that only covers half of your face. That way you’ll keep your eyes and your identity concealed
but you’ll be able to eat, drink and most importantly, talk!
If you’re worried about your mask spoiling your makeup, go for a masquerade mask on a stick that
can be held up for photo opportunities but won’t touch your face. Eye masks with an elastic strap are
easy to keep in place all night and if you don’t want to mess up your hair, go for a mask on a
headband. Et voilà, your masquerade ball costume is complete!

Black, , or Red?
What message does the color of
your masquerade mask send?
Choosing the right masquerade mask color is an important decision. You want to make sure you buy something
that you feel comfortable wearing, and are giving off the impression that you want people to embrace.
Color is a key contributor to first impressions, and is backed by years of research involving psychology, physics,
and color perception to form what is known as Color Theory. And just like anything else, color theory applies to
the masquerade masks you wear to your masquerade parties, where first impressions mean so much.
First and foremost, understand there are no good or bad colors. One color is not better than the other. It’s all
about context, and different colors will always work differently for different people in different cultures.
That said, in western culture, here are some commonly perceived values that people will associate with the
color of your mask:
Red Masquerade Masks show you are energetic and vigorous
and are good if you’d like people to take some risk. Red is also
a color of dominance, power, attention, and sexuality.
Gold Masquerade Masks symbolize illumination, wisdom,
prestige, and class. Great for showing people you have been
through the hoops and earned your place in the world.
Silver Masquerade Masks show people you are classy, prestigious, and scientific.
Green Masquerade Masks make people feel calm and confident, and can connote power, class, strength and
conservatism in you. And if you wear a brighter green mask, people may think you are a little more casual and
sporty.
White Masquerade Masks show you are virtuous, fertile, clean, and of high status. Good if you would like
others to feel you have high aspirations and confidence.
Pink Masquerade Masks will show people you are upbeat, in good health and friendly.
Blue Masquerade Masks show you are loyal and trustworthy. Blue is the color of calmness and some studies
show that those who surround themselves with blue are more likely to think creatively. A great color for
moments when you are on the spot and really have to impress someone.
Black Masquerade Masks can symbolize many personality traits including elegance, authority, dignity,
sophistication, mystery, and seduction.
Purple Masquerade Masks give off the impression you are creative and expressive. Good for showing others
you are a deep and original thinker.
Orange Masquerade Masks tell people you are willing to take action. They also show you’re happy,
courageous, enthusiastic and successful. A happy color that will easily invite people to converse with you.
