People are already looking for Hunger Games costumes, and although there are not any official ones yet, we have found some ways to create them. The easiest way to style your hair like Katniss is to wear it in a long braid to the side. However, most of us are not lucky enough to have that kind of long hair! If you want to get the Katniss look of the long side braid with bangs that come down into your eyes, we recommend this wig from BuyCostumes.com:

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Wig
We know that technically it is supposed to look like Lara Croft, but you can’t argue that it wouldn’t look like Katniss as well if you messed it up a little bit and threw a bow and arrow over your back. And for $20, it’s a great addition to your costume. Check out the image below from the movie and tell us what you think:

Whether you are putting together a Katniss costume or just trying to get her style, you will love this pair of boots like those that Katniss wore in the movie. The Melissa Tall Lace boots that Katniss wore before entering the arena were produced by the Frye, Co. and retail for around $400. Yikes! The feature lacing up the front but also a zip-up entry. You can get them various places online including Amazon.
If $400 is a little too much for you, we did find some other boots that are pretty similar that would work as well. Here are a few of our favorites:

The more popular that the Hunger Games are becoming, the harder that it is to find the Hunger Games merchandise that came out with the release of the Mockingjay book. Until the movie merchandise starts to come out, we are stuck with limited quantities of the old merchandise, which means higher prices.
If you are looking for an official Hunger Games Mockingjay pin like the one that Katniss wore in the books, your best bet is Amazon. They are selling for around $25 plus shipping with only 10 available in stock. It would be a perfect addition to a Katniss Costume!
