If you're channeling your inner Jack Sparrow this year, you'll want to have some Instagram captions for pirate costumes ready to go so there will be no dawdling.

While pirate wear can be super elaborate with jewels galore, it can also be a great last-minute costume. All you need is your fave peasant top, a black skirt, and a bandana for your hair. Don't forget to get a pair of gold hoop earrings, and follow a makeup look to really tie it all together, and you're ready to go.

Snap some pics and choose a captions from any of these 48 pirate quotes that fit your vibe.
