Crazy Fancy Dress Ideas for Men
Some Unique Costume Ideas for Guys on Halloween or a Stag Night
Jul 18, 2008
As with everything it’s best to shop around when hiring a fancy dress costume. Fancy Dress Suppliers can vary greatly in price. Partygoers wanting the more extravagant outfits such as the Astronaut costume will have to go to specialist suppliers or professional party organisers/promotion companies.
Superhero Costume
Is it a bird, is it a plane? No It’s someone dressed as a superhero on the dance floor. Superhero costumes are easy to find, cheap to hire and always guaranteed to raise a smile. Popular superhero costumes are
- Spider-Man
- Superman
- Zorro
- Batman
The advantage of Spider-Man and Zorro is the wearer can maintain a high level of anonymity.
Ghostbuster Costume
A great costume idea for a group of guys who can argue over which one of them gets to be Ray, Peter, Winston or Egon. Grey boiler suits are the starting point. High-end costumers will have proton packs for hire, but an improvised version using backpacks/old drinks bottles and a super soaker can be effective. A new Ghostbusters video game is about to be released, so purchasing Ghostbuster accessories should become easier.
Celebrity Lookalike Costume
For the partygoer who bears more than a striking resemblance to a celebrity ,the lookalike costume is a good choice and will be sure to generate discussion. If the partygoer does not look like anyone famous then they can try some of the more visually recognisable celebs for example
- Michael Jackson
- Freddy Mercury
- Elvis
- Hunter S. Thompson
Chippendale Costume
This costume is not suitable for outdoor events that are prone to poor weather. The Chippendale outfit requires only a bow tie, some black trousers and a lot of confidence. The more adventurous partygoer should carry baby oil with them for chest oiling opportunities.
Sailor Dress Uniform Costume
With its bright white colour, this costume is great for parties that may be using UV lighting. The wearer will stand out from the crowd and will be seen from the other side of the room with ease. Due to its apperances in An Officer and a Gentleman and Top Gun , this costume seems to be very popular with women.
Cowboy Costume
Another costume that is very popular with women is the cowboy outfit. It’s quite common, so the wearer should add some unique touches to the costume such as a sheriff’s badge or a wacky colour scheme. The cowboy costume will be available from most fancy dress suppliers.
Astronaut Costume
If the partygoer has the money, then the space suit is quite simply the most show-stopping of all the costumes. Generally this costume requires a large rental fee and on top of that a substantial deposit (around $500). For an example of this suit in action the partygoer should watch Baz Lurmann’s Romeo and Juliet. For more fancy dress ideas please read Sexy Fancy Dress Ideas for Women.
