It's that time of year again where everyone is scrambling to find the perfect Halloween costume. But what should you dress up as?

If you're at a loss for ideas, don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are some great Halloween costumes for men broken down by category. Happy hunting!

Movie and TV Characters

If you're stuck for ideas, why not take your inspiration from some of your favourite movie and TV characters? Here are some of the top Halloween costume ideas for men that have to do with movies and TV! 

Walter White from Breaking Bad

Show your dark side with this costume inspired by the iconic character from AMC's hit show. All you need is a bald cap, a yellow jacket and some blue meth candy.

Tommy from Pam and Tommy 

This is one of those men's halloween costumes that needs a partner for it to really work, so grab the Pamela Anderson to your Tommy Lee. You’ll need to tap into mens 90s fashion and grab some temporary tattoos, a white singlet, and a big chain necklace. 

The Dude from The Big Lebowski

For a relaxed and comfortable costume, try dressing up as Jeff Bridges' character from this classic Coen Brothers film. It’s one of those films that will never go out of style. All you need is a bathrobe, slippers, a wig and goatee, and a healthy supply of White Russians.

Superheroes

Time to dust off your cape and tights and become your favourite superhero! Whether you're looking to save the world or just snag some candy, there are plenty of great options out there for men's halloween costumes. 

Superman 

If you’re a fan of the classics, this one's for you. Get suited up with real fake muscles, a cape, and the notorious red and blue Superman suit! If you really want to entertain your friends, you could arrive at the party dressed as Clark Kent with a set of black-frame glasses, and change halfway through the night! 

Batman 

Batman’s always a solid choice when it comes to mens Halloween costumes. Go all out with this heavily armoured Batman suit and you’ll be the centre of attention! 

The Hulk 

All you really need to go as The Hulk for Halloween is a ton of green body paint and a ripped shirt. Easy, impressive, and sure to turn heads. 

Historical Figures

From famous presidents to notorious criminals, there are a variety of interesting and unique historical figures to choose from. 

George Washington

George Washington is a great option for those who want to dress up as a president without being too recognizable. After all, there are plenty of other presidents to choose from. To get the look, simply don a white wig and powder your face to create a realistic complexion. Then, don your George Washington costume and you’re set. 

Billy the Kid

For those who want to embrace their inner outlaw, Billy the Kid is a great option. This infamous 19th-century criminal was known for his sharp shooting skills and rebellious attitude. 

To get his look, start with a striped shirt and high-waisted trousers. Then add a vest, bandana, and cowboy hat. And don't forget the gun!

Professionals

Doctors, firefighters, chefs? Let your imagination run wild with this category. It’s easy to pull off, instantly recognizable, and lets you live out another life for a night! 

Doctor

Grab your white lab coat and stethoscope, it’s time to save some lives, doctor! If you want to get really creative with it, give yourself a backstory. 

Are you a paediatrician? A brain surgeon? A doctor specializing in pandemic medicine?

Animals

Men's Halloween costumes are not just limited to humans anymore. You can be anything you want — the sky's the limit! If you're looking for something a little different this year, why not try one of these animal-themed costumes?

No matter what your style, there's sure to be an animal costume that's perfect for you. So let your inner beast out this Halloween and have some fun!

Lion

For the more traditional guy, there's always the classic lion costume. It's a great way to show your wild side. Make your lion culturally relevant with a Squid Game golden lion mask! 

Apex Predators

If you want to get a little scary you could dress up as an apex predator like a shark or a big bad wolf. Release the beast! 

Animal

For the truly adventurous man, there's always the option of going as a full-on wild character — like Animal from the muppets.
