Cheetah Costumes
Have you ever wondered how leopards are different from other big cats? The difference is in the power of the spot. The leopard's spots allow it to linger in shadows, unseen by predator and prey alike. While other big cats run for their dinner, leopards stay frozen in place until the perfect opportunity. They spring into action when there are only twelve to fifteen feet between themselves and their prey, allowing them to catch a snack in one or two silent leaps. How cool is that? Are you ready to take on the wisdom and power of these spotted cats? Good. This is going to be fun.
Those who are looking for leopard costumes have plenty of options to choose from. If you're facing the cold, then check out our full-body costumes with mitts attached to keep you as lithe and limber as the original big cat.

Playing jungle cat is a lot of fun for kids. Any room can become a wild habitat. When they crouch on couches and watch the family with a silent stare, you know they are actually lounging in the branches of a wide-branched acacia tree.

Allusive, playful, and majestic. Snow leopards live in the mountains of Central Asia, Southern Russia, and around the Tibetan Plateau. They live in high-altitude areas, hunting blue sheep and mountain goats. (Blue sheep aren't as cartoonish as they sound, by the way. They're called "blue" because of their grey color.)

Make this costume even cozier with a warm layer underneath the top and white tights layered under the skirt. Furry boots will complete this ensemble with style and comfort!
Cheetah Halloween Costumes for Adults
The fastest land animal on earth has a sleek reputation among the human community. Running at speeds of fifty to eighty miles per hour, dressing up as a cheetah means you're dressing up as one of the most powerful creatures on earth!
The difference between a leopard's spots and a cheetah's spots is pretty distinct. The spots of a leopard have two colors, with a dark brown exterior around the spot and a tawny interior. Conversely, cheetahs have a simpler black spot pattern with those stunning tears we all know so well. Those tears act as sunglasses for those long days looking for prey on the sun-washed plains of Africa. When you're putting together your cheetah costume, keep these important design details in mind to be sure you aren't mixed up with any other kind of big cat!
Cheetah Costume Womens
This sleek cheetah costume might just make you feel as sleek as a cheetah. That's the goal, anyway. While the bodysuit is rather stunning on its own, you can complete the look with eye makeup. Copying the cheetah tear design would be dramatic and drive home the fast cat theme! Perfect for runners or those who like living life in the fast lane, a cheetah costume is sure to communicate your need for speed.
Sexy Cheetah Costumes
Sure, we love the fast cat of the African plains, but let's not forget the fantastic characters that cheetahs have inspired. There's Wonder Woman's nemesis, Cheetah, a supervillain who knows how to rock a jumpsuit and rocks catlike reflexes. Then there's Chester the Cheetah, the spokes-animal for Cheetos. That's definitely not sexy, unless you really like bad boys with a taste for powdered cheddar. Hmm, those sunglasses might have something to them, after all. The sexiest cheetah-inspired character has to be Josie from Riverdale. The way she rocks her cheetah costume while singing with Josie and the Pussycats is magic! Whether you’re feeling a little more villainous or like a confident high school pop star, you’ll find plenty of sexy cheetah costume options in our leopard catalog.

A Quick Guide to Leopards
There are many gorgeous leopards in the world, ranging from the mountains of Southern Asia to the forests of Africa. Leopards are a specific species, different from other spotted cats because of their location and distinctive spots. This can be confusing, because similar cats can be found throughout the world. For instance, jaguars can be found in the Americas, especially in the forests of Brazil, and have a different pattern and sturdier build than any subspecies of leopard. Read on for the different types of leopards with interesting tidbits to help inspire you to create the best leopard costume for you.
- There are seven different sub-species of leopard. Their look and location make them stand apart from one another. This includes the somewhat common and widespread African Leopard, the Amur Leopard, the Anatolian Leopard, the Barbary Leopard, the Sinai Leopard, the South Arabian Leopard, and the Zanzibar Leopard.
- The coloring and pattern of leopards vary according to their surroundings. Those that live on sun-bleached grasslands will have a lighter color, while those that live in a jungle setting will have a darker base and more spots or rosettes.
- Leopards are talented climbers. They can pull themselves up trees with their powerful muscles and retractable claws.
- Solitary creatures, leopards rely on an element of surprise when hunting. They must get close enough to their prey to catch it within a few bounds rather than chasing any meals down.
- While leopards typically hunt medium-size animals, they are rather opportunistic. If they’re in a tight spot, they’ll dine on small birds, reptiles, and even beetles if they’re hungry enough!
