Manly Minute – 4 Costumes In Your Home

Once a man gets past a certain age (that age is 28, just so there's no confusion here), it becomes a little too much to be caught trawling around a Halloween emporium looking for, say, the perfect green vest to go along with the Joker costume you've concocted. The last thing you should be spending your money on this time of year-which is when you should be focused on getting your fall coat strategy in order-is a polyester superhero costume with enough foam padding to keep a lifeboat above the water. But if peer pressure or romantic obligations mean you do have pull together a Halloween costume this year, we suggest getting it from your own closet. It's faster, cheaper, and far less annoying for everyone involved to wear things you already own. Below, we've assembled a handful of alternatives that won't cost you any money-but will keep you warm during your party-hopping jaunts.
