Carbon Costume Men
Andy Warhol
Considered by many to be the godfather of pop art, Andy Warhol’s artistic style and fashion sense continue to be copied decades after his death. Don’t worry, art school is not required in order to look like an artist. All you need is a black turtleneck, a pair of wayfarer eyeglasses and a Polaroid camera. Of course, art is subjective so feel free to take some pictures and claim them as your latest masterpiece.
Fred Jones
In Scooby Doo, Fred Jones is the official leader of Mystery Incorporated. The preppy blonde never forgets his orange ascot when he goes off to build traps and solve mysteries.
Droogs
Alex and his droogs didn’t make a lot of wise choices in A Clockwork Orange. In fact, even their attire was questionable. If you’ve always wanted a reason to wear your jockstrap on the outside of your pants, then dressing like a droog is for you. Complete the outfit with a bowler hat and cane but then stop there, this is one costume where acting the part is discouraged.
Mario
It’s a me, Mario! Mario is a plump, Italian plumber who’s quest is to save Princess Peach from Bowser. Along the way he’s collected several powers such as throwing fire and ice balls, flying, and becoming invincible. He’s also collected a number of fashionable outfits including a frog suit, a tanooki suit, and a penguin suit.
Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn
Charlie Sheen stars in Major League as pitcher Rick Vaughn. When the Cleveland Indians owner wants to put out the worst team possible, they hire a cast of misfits including Vaughn. He has an amazing arm but lacks control, earning the nickname Wild Thing. That is, until he takes an eye exam and is fitted with skull-and-crossbones glasses.
John Hammond
John Hammond had good intentions when he decided to resurrect dinosaurs but as we all know things didn’t go as planned. However, John did somehow manage to keep his clothes relatively white despite all of the chaos. If you’re bold enough to pull off an all white wardrobe, perhaps you’re also willing to test your craft skills and recreate John Hammond’s famous amber mosquito cane. Don’t worry, no one will expect you to clone a T-Rex.
Dr. Alan Grant
World renown paleontologist, Dr. Alan Grant, is passionate about his career but fashion, not so much. Fitting the stereotype of what you’d expect to see at an archaeological dig, Dr. Grant’s attire is logical and relatively easy to pull off. Of course, this look also gives you an excuse to wear a denim shirt without your friends making fun of you.
