Halloween is right around the corner, and there’s no reason that the kids in your neighborhood should get to have all the fun! This spooky holiday gets even more exciting when you’re an adult. Not only do you have the time and money to get your hands on costumes that you couldn’t have dreamed of when you were a kid, but you can delve into the world of bearded characters as well!

Whether you’re excited to construct a labor of love that’s perfectly accurate to your favorite beard-sporting character or you’re just looking for a quick costume you can throw together for that Halloween party you forgot about, you’ll find an idea on this list that will fit the bill!

Black Panther

If you want your beard to make you feel like a superhero this October, then you can’t go wrong with dressing up as T’Challa, the Black Panther from Marvel comic books and movies. The late Chadwick Boseman sported an impeccable beard for this role, so see your barber or bust out your trimmers to get things lined up perfectly before Halloween night for this costume. If you don’t have your own vibranium-infused super suit to wear, go for a black outfit with a silver necklace, or see if you can find a Wakanda t-shirt!

Gnome

If you tend to sport a long beard in day to day life, a gnome is the perfect last-minute costume you can throw on for when you’re taking a kid out trick or treating or you’re headed to a Halloween party with limited prep time. Simply roll some colored paper up into a cone with a little scotch tape and throw a belt over top of an untucked, solid-colored t-shirt, and you’ve got an instant gnome costume! Make sure to snap a picture of yourself posing in the front yard for maximum effect.

The Pringles Man

Halloween is a great time to get creative with a little mustache wax, and one of the easiest and most recognizable characters sporting a fun mustache is the Pringles Man! Spend some time in the mirror shaping your own ‘stache to match the glorious walrus that this famous mascot sports, and then throw on a white shirt with a red bow tie and you’re all set. Bonus points if you carry around a can of Pringles chips with you. It’ll help people put it together, and you’ll have built-in snacks!

Wolverine

You know you’ve always wanted to try it, and the release of the latest Deadpool movie is the perfect excuse. Hugh Jackman’s mutton chops as Wolverine are about as instantly iconic as the character himself, and if you’re brave enough to grow your beard out and shave it into shape, even just for one night, the costume is incredibly easy to pull off. Just throw on a white tank top and some jeans, gel your hair up and add a cigar if you’re feeling creative, and you’re good to go! You don’t even need the claws unless you really want them– just pick up the props of your choice at the party, bar, or on the trick or treating trail, and pop them in between your fingers. People will get the picture!

Joel Miller

If you’ve got a green plaid shirt and a backpack on hand and a short, scruffy beard, then you already have the perfect costume for gamers and fans of the The Last of Us TV adaptation. This costume also works great if you have a friend, daughter, or sister who’s into gaming as well. All she needs is a quick ponytail and a pink t-shirt to join you as Ellie!

This Halloween, make sure you embrace both your beard and the spirit of the season! Have fun out there, eat lots of candy, and get ready to take lots of pictures of your amazing bearded costume.
