How to choose a men’s Halloween costume

Start with the type of night you’ve got planned. A house party gives you free rein to go full horror. A pub crawl or office do calls for something you can sit down and order a pint in, and taking the kids trick-or-treating means you’ll want room for a coat. Each men’s costume from brands like Smiffys, Rubies and Wicked Costumes is designed for a night out rather than daily wear, so the fabric is usually thin. That keeps the cost down, but layer up if you’re outdoors.

Vampire

A vampire costume is the smart choice for men who don’t want to look daft. A cape, waistcoat and fake fangs do most of the work, and you can go classic Dracula or full renaissance drama.

Skeleton

Skeleton jumpsuits are cheap, easy and instantly recognisable. Some glow in the dark, which helps you stand out in a dark room. They’re snug fits, so size up if you’re between sizes.

Horror and masked killer

A masked killer, axe butcher or ghoul costume is built for scares. Many come as five-piece sets with a mask, so you’re ready straight out of the bag. For something quicker, an old football kit plus fake blood makes a decent zombie footballer. Check you can see properly through the mask before a night out.

Funny and plus-size options

Not every man wants to be terrifying. A daft costume from our men’s fancy dress range or an inflatable costume works just as well on 31 October, especially with a bit of fake blood added. A stag do costume can also be roughed up for the night.

Bigger sizes can be tricky, as plenty of options are one size only. Always check the chest and height measurements on the retailer’s listing against our costume size guide before you select a size, and read a review or two for fit if you can. If you’re between sizes, select the larger one.

What are good Halloween costume ideas for men?

Vampires, skeletons, masked killers and zombies are reliable choices that everyone recognises. For a laugh, an inflatable costume or a deliberately rubbish homemade horror look always goes down well.

What’s the easiest Halloween outfit for men?

A skeleton jumpsuit is about as easy as it gets: pull it on and you’re done. A vampire cape with fake fangs is a close second.

Can I get a plus-size men’s costume for Halloween?

Some listings come in XL and above, but many are one size. Check the measurements carefully against our size guide before you order.

What are funny Halloween costume ideas for men?

An inflatable costume, a stag-style outfit given a gory twist, or a classic character made deliberately creepy tends to get the biggest laughs. Funny works best when it’s still clearly a spooky look.

Does a horror costume come with a mask?

It depends on the set. Many horror costumes are five-piece kits with a mask, while others are just the outfit, so check what’s included on the retailer’s listing.
