There is no need to spend your hard-earned money on some throw-away Halloween costume from the corner store. Most men have a whole bunch of funny clothes they can use as costumes for last minute parties on Halloween night. Here are some ideas I made up after rummaging through my closet.
1. Last Minute Cowboy Costume for Men
If you already have a cowboy hat in your closet, you are halfway finished with your last minute cowboy costume for Halloween. Men always look good dressed as a cowboy and there is never an excessive supply of cowboys. After the cowboy hat, you need some blue jean pants and a big wide belt. Then add a Western-style shirt and you are almost done. Finally, grab some rope from the garage and make a lasso.
2. Redneck Costume for Men
This costume takes some courage because people will surely laugh. Rednecks can be pretty funny sometimes. First, grow your hair real long in the back and make sure your sideburns stretch all the way down to your chin for a full mullet look. Then grab some scissors a d cut your jeans in half at the knees and cut the arm parts of your shirt. Throw on some goofy sunglasses and you are done.
3. Delivery Man Costume for Men for Last Minute Parties on Halloween Night
Everyone knows about the UPS delivery man and his brown outfit. That is why this costume can be such a quick and easy costume for men, especially in the range of DIY homemade last minute costumes. All you need are some brown shoes, brown pants and brown shirt. Then add a clipboard and a small box.
4. Robot Costume for Men
Do you have some silver or black clothes? If so, that is what you need to start your robot costume. Find a box about one foot square in size. Find some silver paint to paint the exterior of the box. Then make some holes for your eyes. There is your quick and easy robot costume for men.
5. Toga-wearing Greek Man from Ancient Greece
Everyone knows how to dress up as a Greek man. Just grab a white sheet and wrap it around you like a toga. Then grab some leaves from the yard and glue them together to wear as a crown on your head.
6. Gangster Mob Man Halloween Costume for Men
Do you have a dark blue suit and a white tie? That is the basic stuff for the gangster mob man costume for men. You just need a cigar to put in your mouth and a fancy dress hat for your head.
7. Rocker Man Costume
Grab an old t-shirt with AC-DC or Poison on the front. Then spike your hair and put a punch of hairspray on it. A guitar is the best prop for this. If you don't have a real one, start practicing your air guitar moves.
Hope you can use some of these last minute Halloween costume ideas for men. Of course it is easier and faster to simply buy a Halloween costume off the shelf or from an online retailer. But half the fun of dressing up is using your creative side. Happy Halloween!

Post a CommentGreat suggestions. Good article. thanks
great ideas
As creative as the ideas for women!
One year we had a last minute party to attend. I had an old wide brimmed hat in the closet and Mike had a straw hat. My sis had purchased Hawaiian shirts for both of us. He put on a pair of plaid shorts, his straw hat, white socks and black shoes. I decorated the wide brimmed hot pink straw hat of mine with plastic fruit and flowers. We put white zinc oxide on our nose in a strip and wore over sized sunglasses. Our outfit was "Tacky Tourist." You can also make a super scary outfit by dressing a person in a suit and calling them either an insurance agent or IRS agent. Loved your ideas. I'm putting them in my mind for later use.
Wonderful! Thank you!
The toga one could be fun.
I'll tell my husband about these ideas.
These are good ideas. I think its only fair to have the men dress up on Halloween too :)
I'm going to start putting quotes as comments, so things don't get so confusing for me :) I won't have to do that this time, but so you know what's happening :)
These are some fun, last minute costume ideas!
