Spider-Man of course needs gloves. He needs something to shoot that web from, right? And there are lots of Spider-Man face masks available, too. Superheroes in general could be a good way to go, really, as many of them wear gloves or have giant beast hands (Batman, Black Panther, the Hulk, Wolverine) and many of them have face mask alternatives.

Any of the princesses, really. What says princess more than a pair of long, elegant, fancy-shmancy gloves? Yes, Prince Charming doesn't typically wander the kingdom searching for the one special woman who fits an N95 mask, but such are the times we live in. And these Etsy masks printed with a princess mouth are pretty cute.

Probably the next best thing to sealing your child inside an actual bubble would be to opt for an inflatable costume. Kids are pretty much covered from head to toe in these things. (Though again, remember that if your kid is going to be out and about, you need to choose something where their face is still exposed, as you don't want them wearing a protective mask inside a costume.) There are loads of funny inflatable options out there, like this dino suit, or this red wavy arm guy.

No one does gloves more stylishly than Holly Golightly. This is the perfect costume for all of the whimsical 8-year-old Truman Capote fans out there. I know you're wondering: but what kind of face mask would pair with such a get-up? Well, how about one of these Tiffany & Company masks from Etsy?

Now here's a costume that's all about the gloves. Look at those big 'ol pickle hands! And there are endless face mask pairings for this one. A pickle mask. A hamburger mask. Or they could wear this ice cream mask with the pickle costume and go as a Pregnancy Craving.

I think this is a really fun one. You get yourself this gloved spacesuit, then you ditch the helmet, and instead get your kid this facehugger Alien mask to wear. This costume is super gross, safe, and fun. A pandemic Halloween win!

These Edward Scissorhand gloves offer excellent hand protection, and are the perfect costume piece when your child wants to dress as a melancholy hairdresser with knife fingers. Your child won't really be able to touch or grab much of anything in a pair of these. Made with safe plastic blades, these will pair nicely with, yes, a Scissorhands face mask.

Slender-man is all about the hands. In particular, the long creepy fingers. While your kid might not be thrilled that they can't wear the face-less hood, there are, of course, Slender-man face masks out there.

A werewolf, a cat, a gorilla, a lion — beasts are great choices, as there are lots of beastly glove options, as well as animal face masks. Or if your child prefers mythical creatures with fewer fangs, there's a really adorable pair of unicorn gloves available from Target that can later be used as winter mittens.

Minnie and Mickey Mouse are also big fans of keeping those hands covered. As are Buzz Lightyear and Violet from The Incredibles. Really, Disney has quite a few gloved characters one could choose from. They also have a sweet selection of cloth face masks.

Who ya gonna call? Dr. Fauci! This fancy Ghostbusters ensemble comes with gloves and a proton backpack. It can be worn by both boys and girls, because as Kate McKinnon has shown us, females can fight the supernatural perfectly well, thank you very much. The best mask pairing for this one? A Slimer mouth, of course.

True, Mr. Krueger is known for only wearing his terrifying knives upon one hand, but what if Freddy turned it up a notch this year and wore two gloves? I mean, why not? It's double the nightmare! And before you even ask, yes, there is a Freddy face mask available, and it even has a protective filter to keep your little monster safe.

Okay, yes, I see the child pictured here isn't wearing gloves, but he totally should be. What this costume needs is a matching brown sweatsuit underneath, some brown gloves, and this tasteful toilet paper face mask. And there you have it. The perfect costume for this utter sh*tshow of a year.
