VOLUME 3: SPOOKY SEASON WITH UP AND AWAY

HALLOWEEN IS HERE!
And just like that, Halloween is right around the corner again! This holiday gets most kids excited as they dress up as their favorite movie or show characters—or simply their favorite people. But as the thrill fills the room, chaos and stress often begin for parents. Kids are not always so obedient, and sometimes it takes a lot of convincing to explain why they can’t dress up as a box or a prisoner.
Figuring out what to dress them up as can be a headache, especially when you have to say no to their crazy costume ideas. But why make life harder? You can easily dress your child as an astronaut, scientist, or pilot with a jacket that also serves as everyday wear. Up and Away’s jackets not only function as daily outerwear but can double as costumes, too.
HOW YOU CAN STYLE OUR JACKETS FOR HALLOWEEN
Pilots/Aviators/Astronauts: For kids and adults wishing to be pilots, pair our US Air Force Jacket or Space Shuttle Jacket with gray pants and a button-up shirt.
Scientist/STEM: Our Youth STEM Jacket is a perfect choice if your child wants to dress up as a “crazy scientist.” A simple pair of jeans or shorts with a comfy T-shirt completes the look.
Another great idea is to go for Top Gun Maverick costumes for Halloween. Following the success of the sequel, many have been dressing up in Tom Cruise’s uniform. Its rough, military-style cut gives it a confident, laid-back vibe that’s perfect for Halloween. While some prefer full costumes, many opt for the easier, familiar route. Our Youth A-2 Bomber perfectly embodies the chic, aviator style that many hope to achieve when dressing up as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
Not sure how to style your Top Gun costume? Don’t worry; we’re here to help!
Pair our A-2 Bomber Jacket or WWII Bomber Jacket with military or tactical boots for an authentic airman look. If those are too bulky, a military dog tag or cargo pants will work just as well. You can even add a flight helmet to complete the overall ensemble.
Aviator glasses are always a great touch for those who pay attention to detail. Anyone who’s a fan of Top Gun knows that the iconic sunglasses worn by Tom Cruise can elevate the whole look. A small accessory can make a world of difference!
And remember, you don’t have to dress up as Maverick alone! One can be Maverick while your kids or friends can go as Iceman or Goose.
