It’s October 19th and only just sixteen days ago Aaron Samuels (aka Jonathan Bennett, pictured above from Halloween Wars) was asking Cady Heron (Miss Lohan) what day it was… that means the limit does not exist!
It’s 12 days left until judgement… I mean costume day and we don’t know what to be… the costume game for the uniquely built can be challenging but also fun…
My Top Six Costume Idea for Guys (because we don’t step up our game enough… ladies always do it better), Couples and/or the indifferent:
- Scary Theme
- This isn’t that Us (2019)
- Winston Duke as Gabe Wilson (or Abram); The Tethered (works for a couple, family, etc) – grab a Howard sweatshirt on amazon on possibly a quality vintage store, glasses at the dollar store if you don’t already have and dig out some old dad shorts in your closest or you dads… or better yet thrift it. The red jumpers are going from anywhere as low as $29 and as high as $70 (popular minimal piece costume indeed)
-
- Dark Phoenix/ X-Men
- Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix – will compiling a wardrobe might be costly if you can show or have a friend who can fabric is usually on great deals this time of year and cosplay is always in year around.
- The X-Men (in uniform or in street clothes)
- Stranger Things Gang
- Will, Lucas, Eleven (Genderless – I’ve seen some cool male and androgynous versions over the years)
- Building a thrift store wardrobe for this halloween might be the way to go.
- Joker/Joker Inspired
- with Joaquin Phoenix cleaning house as the new iconic DC super villain I imagine aside from another popular clown (Pennywise)…. this will be a party, event and bar favorite throughout the world this year.
- Other easy Villains to portray – Poison Ivy (male version can be pretty fun… just go green… the faux kind… glue those leaves onto some fun earthy fabric/clothing and bam ), The Riddler, The Penguin (bust out a suit, and just grab that monocle and cheesy long cig… maybe a stuff penguin or two…)
- Tarantino Made Me Do It
- While Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is a classic breakout of the year it’s no Kill Bill Vol 1’s Crazy 88 is a great group costume… plus you get to carry a prop ninja sword all night and still be a tiny bit mysterious with a black mask.
- Rock, Pop, Hip & Hop
- legends of music are fun to listen to live and on the way to work but have you ever dressed as one for Halloween it’s a great way to remember those who only live in our heart now or honor the ones still kick butt on stage today.
- Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, No Doubt (group), Beyonce, Pink, Gorillaz…. sky’s the limit on which look you want to use to capture the idol of your choice… go nuts in your closet and on google… the rest will follow… Even dressing up as your favorite actor, actress or personality can be fun or getting inspiration form their amazing costumes… Heidi Klum is the queen of Halloween
When in doubt go in the closet… you know what I mean…. Back in time to past Halloween’s, Outfits, Fashion Choices, and so on…
One year I grabbed an old oversized sweater and bored some every day accessories from my girl Christina Duran Guevara and was a flapper within 5 minutes… sometimes last minute costumes are the best…. but there is still time if ordering on Amazon… I just put in an order for some things above 😀 … check me out on Instagram, Twitter and the rest to see what I’ll be… use the hashtag #hottesomehalloween so I can like and share all your cool post and ideas as well 😀
