Let's face it; Halloween was much simpler when we were just kids. I mean, you could just dress up as a clown or a ghost, and won't have to worry about other people laughing at you. Now, it's a whole different idea. You have to find a costume that would look sexy, scary, or funny enough without making you look stupid, especially when you're with the ladies.

When Halloween comes around and you need a costume for a party, for the office, or for the kids who will be sure to come trick-or-treating, just follow these great costume ideas for men, and you'll be sure to get noticed without being laughed at.

Men in Uniform ' It's not a big secret that women can go nuts over a man in uniform. Just ask the several other guys you meet who are wearing firemen, police, and soldier costumes. Dressing up in uniform is a great way to appear attractive and masculine. Uniforms always make great costumes, whether you're dressing up as a fireman, policeman, soldier, fighter pilot, sailor, etc. But just one caveat, though. If you're planning on attending a Halloween party with a group of other guys, make sure you're not going to appear as The Village People.

Pop Culture ' Pop culture has recently given us a lot more choices for great costumes. You can opt to go dressed as a Survivor castaway, with some dirt smeared on your face, sandals, and swimming trunks. This is probably one of the easiest costumes you can assemble. You can also go dressed as Austin Powers, who seems never to go out of style. Village">All you need is a velvet suit, ruffled shirt, pointy leather boots or shoes, and lots of colorful accessories to make an appearance as the shaggadelic man of Mystery. The Man of Steel is also back in business as one of the preferred costumes, with the recent return of the latest installment in the series.

Sports ' Another good costume idea is to go and dress up as your favorite athlete. Don't worry if you don't really know how to play the game; that's not the point here. Whether it's baseball, football, basketball, or any other favorite sport, you can choose from lots of favorite sports icons to imitate. It would be a sure-fire hit, especially if some of the women arrive dressed up in one of those sexy tennis outfits or cheerleader uniforms. And don't forget wrestling. You can have fun dressed up as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, or any other well-known wrestler. It would be more fun if you can also imitate the way they talk and move.

Construction Worker ' believe it or not, a lot of women go for those muscular, sweaty men they walk by everyday in building sites, even if they won't admit it. Wearing a tight pair of jeans, a white tank top or t-shirt, a construction hat and a tool belt will complete your get-up.

There are lots more of great costume ideas for men. You can either go out and visit costume shops, or you can browse the Internet. The latter is particularly convenient and practical. Lots of great costume shops online have a wide selection of costumes and accessories at very affordable prices.
