When it comes to characters with beards for Halloween:

Yukon Cornelius (from the classic movie, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) is a top choice. Guys with red to red-ish facial hair are a perfect fit.

 

2. Mr. T

Now onto an icon reference from the next decade – the one and only, Mr. T.

Not only is this 80’s costume super cool, it’s really simple to DIY at the last second. A++ for style.

 

3. Down-On-His-Luck Where’s Waldo

Recreate the Look

Creativity will take you far when parting with your beard is just not an option.

Case and point:

This unique spin on Where’s Waldo!

 

4. Macho Man Randy Savage

Oh yeahhh, throw it back to your favorite WWE star!

This costume idea is too hot to handle, too cold to hold!

 

5. Bob Ross

There are no mistakes, only happy accidents. If you need a couples costume it doesn’t get much better than this idea.

 

6. An Ewok

An Ewok is the most logical Halloween costume choice for guys with brown facial hair. Check out how seamlessly the beard blends in – the execution is flawless!

 

7. Princess Leia

And while we’re on the subject of Star Wars –

This Princess Leia costume is a big mood, so take note! His beard really complements the hair buns.

 

8. Conor McGregor

You should probably never meet your heroes…

But you can still dress up like them for Halloween. Ask a friend to draw on the tattoos (with washable markers hopefully) and go big or go home with this flashy idea!

 

9. The Brawny Man

When it comes to wardrobe pieces, I’m convinced that flannel button-ups are the ultimate standard issue for all men. They go with everything and can always be dressed up or down.

So, it only makes sense why the Brawny Man is a classic Halloween look for men.

As shown, it can be rocked with or without a beard! But it’s clear that opting to keep the beard will make you a dead ringer for the inspiration.

 

10. Wonder Whoa-Man

“Wonder Whoa-Man!!” –@jerrmcc

A last minute costume for bearded guys who are more in touch with their feminine side and aren’t afraid to show it.

The chest hair is a nice touch, really sells the whole look. And don’t get me started on the costume craftsmanship, it’s honestly impressive!

 

11. Silent Bob

…no comment.

 

12. DIY Wolverine

Take off your shirt, grab some knives from your kitchen, put on a scowl and wa-la! Your costume is complete in record time!

 

13. Tour Guide

It’ll be up to you to make sure no one in your friend group strays too far.

Don’t forget the clipboard:

It makes you look like you have important things to do. And obviously, on a night like Halloween, you certainly do.

 

14. Master Roshi

When you’re just an old man who loves peace…and ladies. Slay the day by going the turtle hermit way.

Check out this tutorial if you have the time to make a DIY turtle shell to wear on your back.

Master Roshi has donned many outfits during the Dragonball series. Basically any button-up shirt with vacation vibes will do so long as you pair it with shorts, flops, and red sunglasses.

 

15. Fat Thor in Avengers: Endgame

Having a good excuse to wear your pajamas out of the house isn’t a bad way to spend Halloween. As an added perk, you’ll get to say you have the body of a superhero.

 

16. Will Ferrell in the “More Cowbell” Skit

adult man with brown curly hair and brown beard is making a funny, open mouth expression while looking up to the left. He wears a brown v-neck shirt that is a little too tight and shows his stomach. He holds a wooden drumstick in left hand, preparing to strike the cowbell in his right hand.  Pin

It’s been how many years since this Saturday Day Night Live skit changed the world forever? Idk, all I know is I have a fever…and the only prescription is more cowbell.

The only thing missing in this guy’s legendary costume is a sweet pair of aviator glasses.

 

17. Teen Wolf/Wolfman

Look if you’re got long hair, a beard, and a varsity jacket lying around somewhere, then a werewolf is the fright night look for you. Even better if there’s a full moon on Halloween.

 

18. David Grant from Masterminds

A man and woman pose together, both dressed in denim. The man has a full beard, wears a wig with straight brown hair, and is dressed in a blue denim shirt with matching shorts. The woman wears a floral long-sleeve top under a light blue denim vest, paired with jeans.Pin
“idk how we got so lucky, but we found everything
except my jeans at goodwill. I got my jeans at American
Eagle.” –@hayleroseg

Jean shorts and a bowl cut have never looked so good. This easily segues into a couples costume too: your other half can go as Jandice.

 

19. Alan Garner from The Hangover Part II

The ideal costume choice for any guy who considers himself to be a one-man wolf pack. Alan was wearing this all white out outfit with a sweater vest at the beginning of The Hangover Part 2, and I gotta say, I’m a fan.

But of course, Zach Galifianakis’ attire in the first Hangover movie is an absolute classic. The baby carrier always slaps.

 

20. Avatar Aang from The Legend of Korra

Aang really grew into his looks as an adult. If the Avatar can rock a chinstrap beard, well so can you.

If you want to look as cute as these two do: Tracy Garcia shows exactly how she made the costume in this video.
