What Men Should Wear On Halloween? (SOLVED!)

If you want a quick and creepy answer to your Halloween costume this year, try this XuanYou Upside Down Mask. In your hands, it may appear just like any other weird mask, but it’s only when you put it on that you’ll realize the true beauty of the face cover. The head is mounted upside down, meaning the eyes are down and the mouth is up. It’s very much a costume that creates severe discomfort in onlookers because they are witnessing something truly unnatural. Add in a few painful screams, and you’re sure to give kids (and adults) some sleepless nights. [2]

Based upon a new article from esquire.com, halloween always raises a tough question for men of style: How, exactly, do you dress for a holiday that is all about the clothes you’re wearing without looking like you’re trying too hard (which you probably don’t want to be doing) and without looking stupid (which you probably will anyway). That’s what we asked two young men who prefer natty suits, throwback details, and nice shoes for this week’s Blogger Showdown. Justin Bridges, of Tucked Style, isn’t much of a costume guy himself but still thinks men should dress up for the occasion. Whereas Austin Wong, from Why You Mad, already believes he puts enough effort into his clothing daily, so Halloween should be no exception. Below, the two men debate who has the better strategy for pulling something together this weekend, plus offer some practical suggestions for costumes that are both sophisticated and simple. Well, if you want to practice ruining your favorite suit. Discuss. —Kurt Soller [3]

Sure, there are plenty of readily available costumes from the store or Amazon, but if we’re being honest, those can look a little generic or even silly (and don’t even get us started on the insane prices!). Besides, when you’re throwing together a last-minute Halloween costume, you don’t even have time to run to the store and sift through rack after rack. Instead, raid your own closet to put together these quick, ultra-creative men’s Halloween costume ideas. You’ll recognize some of your favorite TV show and movie characters that are sure to get a laugh from your fellow party-goers and trick-or-treaters.
