Lazy Halloween Costume Ideas for Brooklyn Guys

With a little pomade and a quick visit to Prospect Park West, your hair can do 90% of the heavy lifting.

1. The 1920s Peaky Blinder

  • The Hair: A high skin fade with enough length on top to comb forward or slick down.
  • The Outfit: A flat cap, a button-down shirt, and an air of brooding intensity.
  • Bonus: You look sharp for work on Monday without looking like a guy who gave up.

2. The Classic Movie Villain

  • The Hair: A slicked-back taper fade with a sharp side part using high-shine pomade.
  • The Outfit: A black turtleneck or suit jacket.
  • The Vibe: Effortlessly sophisticated, slightly mysterious.

3. The “I Promised My Partner I’d Dress Up” Look

  • The Hair: A tight beard lineup and fresh fade.
  • The Outfit: Whatever you normally wear, plus a pair of sunglasses indoors. Tell everyone you are an undercover detective.
