There are many options for men who need costumes at the last minute.

Men who have busy work schedules may find it difficult to shop for costumes until their deadline is near. This task can also be daunting for guys who have small spending budgets. Here are last minute costume ideas for men that can be fun without costing a lot of money.

Used Car Salesman

Adult men can easily create a used car salesman costume that may not cost a dime to prepare. Wear a business suit or blazer with matching pants and dress shoes. A long sleeve button down dress shirt is also required for this last minute costume idea. The dress shirt should not match the suit.

Men who wear this last minute costume idea should keep the top of the shirt unbuttoned to reveal a little bit of their chest. Put on gold jewelry that includes a chain with one automobile pendant. Light a cigarette and spray a lot of cheap cologne from the local discount store all over the suit. Print out used car sale listings and fake business cards to hand out at parties.

Professional Boxer

If money is hard to obtain for a last minute costume, adult men can dress up as professional boxers. Complete this costume idea by wearing a hooded bathrobe, one pair of basketball shorts, sneakers and boxing gloves. Men on a low budget can skip boxing gloves and wrap a portion of their hands with surgical tape. If using the alternative method, cover the entire hand with tape and leave all fingers uncovered.

Construction Worker

Men who prefer last minute costume ideas that are simple to put together can dress themselves as a hardworking construction worker. Put on a white sleeveless A-shirt, blue jeans and work boots. Men can smear dirt or soil on the jeans to give off an impression that they just finished working on a building.

Candy residue and unused hot chocolate packages can also be applied to the jeans as a substitute for actual dirt. Get a yellow hard hat from the local home improvement store to complete this last minute costume. The hat will likely be a good investment since it can be used when performing work around the home.

Priest

Men who need a last minute costume that will be convincing can opt for the priest look. This will require a black long sleeve shirt with button closure, black pants and black shoes. Get a white clerical collar and place it under the shirt collar. Men wearing this costume will also need a rosary necklace and bible. Many people may identify with a priest selection more than other last minute ideas for men.
