In compiling this list, I’ve considered a number of criteria to bring together the most popular costumes available as well as the funniest, scariest, sexiest, and most unique.
Ready to get started? Check them out: my top 10 picks for best male Halloween costumes!
10. Gauze Groom – This costume looks like a cross between the Baron Samedi and a zombie groom and is sure to spook your friends!
8. Wolverine – Who doesn’t love Logan? This X-Men favourite is sure to be a hit at any Halloween party. If you want to go without the mask, you can get a Wolverine wig instead.
7. Twilight Vampire – This Twilight-inspired graver vest is the key to the sexy, youthful vampire look. It’s inexpensive, looks great, and can be combined with either jeans or a more formal ensemble.
6. Darth Vader – The ultimate tragic villain. This is the best Vader costume I’ve found that looks good and sells for an affordable price. Just add black gloves and you’re good to go, or check out the Supreme Edition costume!
5. Captain America – Leader of the Avengers, all-American hero, and all-around good guy Steve Rogers is always a popular choice.
4. Rick Grimes – Whether you’re attending a zombie-themed party or not, the lead character from The Walking Dead is always sure to get a great reaction.
3. Daryl Dixon – The only character more popular than Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead is Daryl Dixon – especially with the ladies. Grab this vest and a toy crossbow and you’re all set!
2. Jon Snow – Winter is coming – or rather, autumn is – along with Halloween. Impress everyone as this amazing Game of Thrones favourite! Start with the wig and Night’s Watch costume with cloak, then get boots and a sword to complete the look.
1. Batman – They say you should be yourself, unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman. If the collector edition costume pictured here is too pricey, you can check out this more affordable version instead.
Hey Patrick, what a great idea for a site! I used to hate dressing up for halloween but that has changed in the last few years lol. Ive been growing a beard for 4 months now JUST for my halloween 2015 costume. Hoping to be some sort of fierce viking or something, got any suggestions?
Hi Scott. I would love to that beard in complete costume! My personal favourite in terms of quality and overall authenticity would be this Viking warrior
, but if the price is too steep you could try this one
instead. Let me know how it turns out, and if you need help with anything else!
What great ideas! dressing up in a costume for Halloween is definitely fun, and this helpful guide makes it easy!
