Leave the middle buttons open and throw your necktie over your shoulder. Bonus points for a cape and super hero poses.

Here's an easy DIY costume you can have a lot of fun with. Make sure to wear your pants a bit higher than normal and stay in character by telling all the young hooligans to 'keep it down, sonny'. If you have access to a cane or want to buy one, tennis balls on the end will add to your look.

This costume's for you, 2020! Disguise yourself in the new standard work-from-home uniform. Comfy on the bottom in boxer briefs, but business up top (in case of a video call) with a collared shirt and necktie. Add some slippers if you're staying in, or socks and sandals if you're heading out.

Materials: Collared shirt, slacks, necktie, boxer briefs, slippers or socks and sandals.

Necktie Boxer Briefs

Costumes aren't for everyone. But if you're a dad of little ones or going to a Halloween party (especially with a date), we suggest getting into the spirit just a bit. Go all out with a Jack-O-Lantern Necktie or try a more subtle look with an orange and black striped tie or a simple orange solid tie.
