Sometimes finding a costume can be scarier than Halloween itself. Everybody wants to dress to impress, and what better way to do so than with a suit or tuxedo! Now we know this may not be your first thought when thinking of costumes…but keep scrolling for ideas to embody these star-studded icons and have your friends wishing they swapped cliché costumes for chill-inducing class.

    ELVIS

    Be the G.O.A.T by being “The King” of Halloween. Rock a pink suit to emulate Elvis’s iconic swagger or opt for a burgundy suit to run the Vegas strip. If couples’ costumes are your thing, Elvis in his Paisley wedding coat and Priscilla would be sure to turn heads.  Make sure to practice your hip-swinging dance moves!Elvis Presley and Pricilla on their wedding day.

    CLARK KENT

    Superman disguises himself during the day, so you can borrow his disguise at night. Heroes don’t always need an elaborate costume; however, if you need to save the night, a superman shirt underneath that handsome suit or tux will be someone’s kryptonite.  Don’t forget the glasses to help keep you in disguise!

    THE JOKER

    Trick or Treat? With this costume, all tricks are fair game. Be the fright of the night with this infamous look that will leave no one laughing and have you asking “Why so serious?”  Opt for a red suit or tux to bring home the insanity.

    RON BURGUNDY

    I don’t know how to put this, but you’d be kind of a big deal if you went as the greatest anchor of all time. With little effort and a lot of scotch, you can become the epitome of man in a simple burgundy suit. You stay classy, San Diego.

    PATRICK BATEMAN

    Psycho can sometimes be a good look. In Patrick Bateman’s case, we’d say it worked. Channel the iconic psychotic thriller, American Psycho, this fright-night with a clean-cut suit and cleaver in hand. Do not forget the business card.

    007

    Bond. James Bond. Enough said.

    But seriously, this look is a classic that will never go out of style.  You can choose from a white tuxedo jacket, navy blue suit or grey suit like our Michael Kors Navy Sterling or Steel Grey Sterling.  Or keep it traditional in a black tuxedo.
