Halloween is pretty much upon us, which means one thing: It’s time for your favorite festive costume! There are so many Halloween costumes out there – but which ones should you buy? Costumes for men are hot this year, which means you can probably find something to suit your taste – so long as you know what to look out for.
To help you choose the perfect suit for Halloween 2014, we’ve put together a guide on the different types of Viagra costumes, and how to wear them effectively. Take a look and find your perfect match.
The Classic Look
This year, the classic look doesn’t quite work as it did last year. If you want to wear something that’s going to be as effective as it was in the past, then you might want to consider a different option.
After the huge success of the Viagra-themed costumes in 2013, it would seem that many people are still interested in donning the blue pill – even though its sales have slightly decreased over the past year. Perhaps this is because the costume becomes less effective once you know what you’re wearing. What is the classic look exactly?
It would seem that men are inspired by advertisements and slogans more than they are by the outfits themselves. Blue is still the preferred color for pharmaceutical products, so if you want to keep up with the latest trends without completely buying into them, then you might want to look into pastels or patterned outfits as well. While some men might prefer to keep it simple, patterned shirts and blue jeans are what we would refer to as “classic” looks.
One of the main reasons behind the classic look’s decreased popularity this year is because many people are still trying to figure out what kind of medication Viagra is. While it might be useful for those who are already taking the drug, finding out what it is that you’re wearing can sometimes be difficult. So, if you want to be sure that you’re actually wearing the correct clothing, then we would recommend that you choose a different way to indicate your affiliation with this iconic brand.
The Retro Look
If you’ve ever been a part of the “retro” movement in any way, then you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about. Men have shown a particular interest in vintage-looking attire over the past year, and it seems that this trend is here to stay. Why? Perhaps it’s because men are starting to realize that certain outfits can make them look cool and fashionable, as well as offer them protection from the wind (or cold, in the case of winter).
Vintage is probably the most popular style among those who want to dress up as Viagra characters. It’s not uncommon to see men wearing stylish vintage-looking suits with a pocket watch or a chain worn around the neck. Other popular items include pale blue or white vintage cars, hot dogs, and even chocolate sauce – because let’s face facts: Who doesn’t love a hot dog covered in chocolate sauce?
If you want to follow suit, then you might want to invest in some decent-quality attire that won’t look too cheap. Make sure to wear clean clothes, as we all know what can happen if you show up to work / school wearing an outfit that’s not clean. If you get something dirty or wet on you, then it’s going to be difficult to style.
For those who want to wear something classic, but with a few modern touches, you might want to check out some of the trendy vintage-looking styles that are available today. For example, you can wear a stylish raincoat with some of your clothing items – like a collarless button-up shirt and slim denim.
The ‘90s Look
If you’re from the generation who grew up watching the ‘90s TV shows and films, then you’ll know what we’re talking about when we mention the ‘90s look. From Mad Men to Friends, you will often see men dressing in a way that was originally popularized by the late ‘90s.
It seems that men are looking for ways to revamp their old outfit choices – and what better way to do that than by dressing up as something from the ‘90s. It might seem like a far-fetched idea, but men are starting to realize the ‘90s have become a thing of the past, and are looking for ways to dress with nostalgia.
While many ‘90s outfits are very stylish and trendy, they can also be quite revealing. For example, if you want to wear a polka dot print shirt, make sure that your underwear also has the same pattern – otherwise, you might end up with a bit of a rash. This is because certain types of underwear are more fashionable than they are secure (and even sometimes dangerous).
If you want to keep up with the latest trends without completely buying into them, then you might want to check out some of the retro / ‘90s-inspired styles that are available today.
Pirates
If you’re interested in dressing like a pirate, then you’ve probably already decided what kind of outfit you want to wear. After all, what’s more fashionable than swashbuckling around the town?
It might be a good idea to consult with a pirate cosplayer who can give you tips on how to wear the outfit effectively. For example, they might tell you to tuck in your shirt, or adjust your trousers so they aren’t falling down. These sorts of tips and tricks might seem small, but they can make a massive difference in how you’re perceived by others. You might also want to check out some of the amazing cosplay outfits that are out there, which you can use as inspiration for your costume.
Wedding Singer
It seems that the most popular costume this year is that of a wedding singer. It wasn’t that long ago that the majority of people wouldn’t even think about wedding singers – but thanks to popular culture, such as Shakespeare in Love and Gigi, the marriage counselor, everyone knows what a wedding singer is. So if you want to be featured at the end of the wedding ceremony, singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” be sure to choose a nice microphone and a stunning costume.
It’s interesting how fashion and music seem to go hand in hand. Many people thought that Jon Bon Jovi was an actual doctor before the 2014 World Cup – because after all, his white lab coat looks pretty cool and stylish against his dark skin.
Ghostbuster
If you’re looking for a costume that will have people talking, then you might want to consider dressing up as a ghostbuster. After all, who doesn’t like to spend an evening roaming the house with a stream of ghostly apparitions?
It seems that the ‘80s is the go-to decade for ghost costumes. From Aladdin to The Nightmare Before Christmas, we can see that many people want to put their own spin on one of the most iconic Halloween costumes of all time.
Fortunately, it isn’t as difficult as you might think to dress like a ghost. Basically, all you need are some of the outfits that they usually wear, an afghan, a white sheet, and some fake eyeballs. If you do decide to wear this costume, then make sure to put some work into your appearance. You might want to consider dyeing your hair the right color and wear some decent shoes.
You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to put this costume together, and how effective it can be. Plus, it’s one of the most fashionable costumes out there! With a little bit of ninjitsu, you’ll be able to keep up with the ghosts – and other supernatural creatures – at Halloween parties this year.
