Oct 9, 2009
Sometimes busy men can't decide what to dress up as for that weekend Halloween party. Or maybe the guys might have waited until the last minute, only to find that it is too late to run out and buy the ideal Halloween costume. Whatever the dilemma is, have no fear. Quick Halloween outfits can be put together fast with items that are available at home in the wardrobe closet.
Quick and Easy Guys’ Halloween Costumes
With some old, forgotten clothes that are lying at the bottom of a drawer, fast, easy, and really cheap Halloween costumes can be constructed for guys. Here are a few simple outfits that men can try:
- Bandit – Got stripes? A black and white striped shirt, a black mask around the eyes, a bandana for the head, and maybe some toy handcuffs can be put together to create a great Halloween bandit costume.
- Hobo/Bum – Use old, tattered shirt and pants and rip them up a bit more. Grab a dirty pair of shoes or boots and become a hobo. This is one of the easiest and most inexpensive Halloween costumes. For an added effect, use black face paint or make-up to make the face look dirty and grimy.
- Swimmer/Lifeguard – This is a simple Halloween costume using a pair of swim goggles, a snorkel, and some flippers along with a funny bathing suit.
- Nerd – A nerd is another quick costume that is easy to put together. Some dark-rimmed glasses with tape in the center, pants that are too short, and a button down shirt with pocket to place the pocket protector and some pens will be all that is needed to complete this outfit.
- Favorite Sports Fan –Sports fan costumes are easy and convenient because guys usually are sports fans of one team or another. Try wearing a baseball cap and t-shirt with a favorite sports team logo (football, baseball, basketball, soccer, etc.) and grab whatever sports equipment can be easily carried. Try painting on the team colors with colorful face paint. Add a quick rainbow wig.
Funny Halloween Outfits for Men
Men that prefer to stand out at a Halloween party might just like some of these funny "male" Halloween costumes for guys:
- Housewife – An apron, a plunger or feather duster, and an old handkerchief make a really funny outfit for a guy and can be assembled very quickly before the Halloween party.
- Baby/Toddler – Use a white pillowcase and some safety pins as a diaper; get a large colorful lollipop and a teddy bear and the guy that dresses like a baby will be the talk of the party!
- Cheerleader – This funny Halloween costume is quickly put together with a braided wig, skirt, sweatshirt, pompoms and a smile!
- Speed Bump – With some yellow clothes and a hand made “Caution! Speed Bump” sign, a speed bump costume can bring in a lot of laughs.
- Bulletin Board (or White Board) - So easy, this costume requires a large bulletin or white board draped around the neck. See what doodles and comments friends will contribute to the display board throughout the evening at the Halloween party. Just watch out for the pins!
