Fellas, if your Halloween costume consists of white contact lenses and a little bit of fake blood strategically smeared on your cheek, then you’re about as daring as starting a DM slide with, “Hey.”

But fear not, for we’ve compiled a list of some costumes for the only two types of parties that matter.


Party type A – “I got some moves to pull tonight”

1. Obviously, Ken is choice number one. Ken had so many outfits they couldn’t even fit in his Barbie Dream House, but we’ve narrowed it down to the top three guaranteed to get some mascara’d eyelashes looking your way on Halloween night.

Fur coat Ken: fur coat, black sunglasses, bandana, gold chain, insufferable personality, hell yeah. All that’s missing is a cold beer, a jetski, and your phone number. BOOM!

Grease Ken: black T-shirt, black jeans, pink socks, black penny loafers. It’s like Danny Zuco got a summer job at an ice cream parlour. Oh, and if you have a leather jacket, we highly recommend adding it. (There’s a reason this is the quintessential bad boy look).

Double denim jeans-vest Ken: The most approachable out of the three, this is the Ken who arrives on time, quickly responds to texts, but is still so frickin’ shredded that he somehow manages to eclipse all the bad boys at the party.

2. Tyler Durden walked away from society, so Ken could run into your hearts. And he did it while dressed in possibly the coolest threads ever shown on film. Possibly the only man who eclipses Ryan Gosling’s good looks, Brad Pitt’s red sunglasses, suggestive imagery tank-top, red pants, rings, and runway fur coat make this outfit a little harder to pull off for the average guy. But if you can, well, just thank us later.

3. Lewis Hamilton (or any race car driver). It’s literally a one-piece jumpsuit with an accompanying helmet to match. That is so awesome. You know who wears stuff like that? Superheroes. And guys who like to drive really fast. If you happen to find a legitimate race suit with logos to match, we can guarantee you’ll be crowned the king of the party.

4. Carmy from The Bear. Normally, one wouldn’t assume that dressing in an apron and white t-shirt would elicit the kind of attention most desired on a night out, but we’re going to make the bold claim that you’d be remiss to find someone not looking for an excuse to say, ‘Yes, Chef,’ especially after a few shots. And aside from the apron and stained t-shirt, all you need is some scruffy hair, tattoos, and a difficult attitude.
