Halloween Costumes for Men: Quick, Cheap and Dignified

Your Halloween Themed Pill Box with Bat from Kyle Design will impress everyone at the party.

Paulano has released his 2008 Top Ten Halloween Costumes for Men.  In order the make the list, a costume needed to be quick to assemble, cheap, dignified, and fun enough to let everybody know you’re a good sport about getting dressed up for Halloween.

Costumes that might draw too much attention if you somehow end up in a jailhouse holding cell, or costumes that might diminish your appeal to women were emphatically excluded from Paulano’s list.   Examples of these are Clown, Zorro, Captain Jack Sparrow, Flasher, Anything with a Ski Mask, Drag Queen, and Elf.

And so, without further delay, the Top Ten Halloween Costumes for 2008 are:

10.  Biker Dude: Leather anything, Harley anything, bandanna on head

9.    Nerd: White Short Sleeve shirt, tie, Horn Rim glasses (with tape repair), hiked up pants, white socks

8.    Tourist: Hawaiian Shirt, Shorts, black socks, camera, sunglasses, map

Black and orange business card case with bat design is a great way to network during Halloween

7.    Gunslinger: Duster,  gun and holster, cowboy hat and boots, bandanna on neck

6.    Shaggy: Green T-shirt, brown bell bottoms, soul patch, Great Dane if you got one

5.    Robber:  Black pants, black shirt, black knit cap

4.    Surfer: Wet suit or jammer, body board, zinc oxide on nose

3.    Pamplona Bull Runner: White shirt, white pants, red bananna on neck, red sash.  Add humor by drawing hoof prints on the costume and using red food coloring to simulate front and back wounds that imply impalement.  This is the most questionable costume on Paulano’s list.  Most people won’t know what you are, and it has the highest jailhouse risk factor.

2.    Mad Scientist: White Lab Coat, teased hair, white hair spray,  lab goggles

1.    Secret Service Agent: Dark suit and tie, sunglasses, ear piece, shoulder holster and gun.   If your date wears her hair up, and has a pair of Tina Fey glasses, you can trick or treat as a couple:  Sarah Palin and her security detail.   Watch out for lipstick stains on your collar.

Keep your essentials in your Pumpkin Design Metal Wallet or Cigarette Case by Kyle

As it happens, my wife looks a fair bit like Governor Palin, and I haven’t used the Secret Service idea yet, so this may be our year to go for costume number one from the list.
