There is a growing need in the market for a good selection of top quality men’s fancy dress costumes at affordable prices. Now men can choose from many different styles to suit their personality and the nature of the party.

There are usually two main reasons why men may dress up in costumes. The first is of couse for a fancy dress party or organised themed event. The second reason is to out-do their mates at end of year sporting celebrations or bachelor parties . All of these reasons, and more, are catered for at Heaven Costumes.

A common time for men to require fancy dress costumes is around Halloween. There is, of course, the traditional men’s vampire costume, complete with fangs and fake blood. However, gone are the days where there are only generic options for men, such as ghost costumes, devil costumes, and skeleton costumes. There are so many creative styles for Halloween available. There’s the ‘Headless Butler’ costume, or the ‘Malevolent Jester’. You could even dress up in Leatherface men's costumes from the movie ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.’ There is no need for men to be bored with the outfits available for Halloween because at Heaven Costumes there are many styles to choose from.

Another time men need fancy dress ideas is if they are invited to a dress up party. Often these parties have themes, the most popular of these being movie characters, superheros, hippies, Great Gatsby, pirates or retro themes. There are many popular movie character men's costumes available. Some may choose to go as a superhero, as super heroes are admired for their strength, agility, and ability to attract women! Some of the more popular super hero costumes include Batman , Spiderman, Superman, the Flash, Green Lantern and Captain America. Men also enjoy pirate themed parties, mainly because there are so many accessories they can use to complement the outfit. A common idea for men attending a pirate party is Captain Jack Sparrow costumes, from the hit movie Pirates of the Caribbean. This idea is popular due to the handsome, sexy actor Johnny Depp, who helped make this character famous. These men's costumes can be accessorised with fake gold teeth, plastic swords, plus pirate wigs and beards.

While women are worried about looking sexy and beautiful at fancy dress parties, men are often concerned with being funny and comical. They enjoy making people laugh, and livening the mood of the party. There are lots of funny men's costumes to choose from. One hilarious idea is to dress up as a barnyard animal. You could dress up as a chicken or a cow.

Another cool idea to get the laughs, is some cross-dressing fun. A macho man in a dress will have the whole party in stitches. Some funny cross-dressing outfits, especially designed for men, include the ‘Miss Oktoberbreast’s Men’s Costume’ and the ‘Men’s Ugly Sister Costume.’

You can also make people laugh by dressing up in funny television character men's costumes. There are all the Teletubbies characters as a fun idea or even coloured M & M's or Crayons. There are also characters from The Simpsons, like Homer or Mr. Burns. Other comical ideas are Super Mario men's costumes, Sumo Wrestlers or even giant Lobster costumes!

Sexy men's costumes are often difficult to find, but at Heaven Costumes Australia we have a wide range available. Just as uniform style costumes are popular for women, men can also dress up in a sexy version of the uniform of their favourite occupation. A crisp white Navy sailor costume can be a lot of fun, as can a classic sexy fireman uniform and naughty cop costumes for men. Some men may feel dressing up in sexy costumes is for women only, however this is not the case. Dressing up in sexy attire can add a lot of fun and be great conversation starters at any fancy dress costume party.

There are numerous reasons and occasions when men's costumes are required, and they should not be shy when shopping for them. Finding men’s costumes online is often easier and less painful! Here at Heaven Costumes we definitely have the best range of men’s fancy dress costumes available for immediate delivery.

Happy shopping!
