How do you choose a costume?

What factors come in to play when deciding on playing in that final costume? Is it because of the band? the DJ? your friends influence? the package? the price or the actual costume?

i look at costume first and foremost cuz thats what you will be wearing the whole parade. then i consider band and price. price wise bands are usually around the same area.

Whatever shows off my best features hits the top of the list. Cost and color comes next. Band's popularity is important. That's why I ended up with Island People at Trini Carnival 2k6.

I just picked the costume that jumped out at me the most. I don't have any band loyalty at this point so it's all about the costume to me.

nawh band then costume. cause I have see first hand you get some costumes that are like Ugh. damn that aint even ole time like my parents playing in dat 20 years ago, but you see dem having a time cause de vibes is sweet so it makes the costume look beter (and you can always alter a bit here and there) but on the flip i seen costumes to DIE FOR and people not even chippin dey draging foot dung de road! WHAT ! and for all dat $$. so I have learned if I like de vibes in the band then usually there is a costume that will just jump out at me :
