Gettin' Wiggy With It: Men's Wigs





Who said ladies get to have all the fun?

            The majority of our wig series has been focused on the females. As our hunt for the perfect wig comes to a close, we’d like to focus on the men for once! That’s right, this entire post is about wigs for men. Who said girls get to have all the fun?

            Play one of the many politicians portrayed in Hollywood and beyond with our salt and peppered Commander in Chief Wig. This baby is born to be worn with a smart suit and a pair of nice loafers (ok, boat shoes would work too).

            Going pirate this Halloween season? Check out our Deluxe Gypsy Pirate Wig.  The deluxe Gypsy Pirate Wig is a Fabulous-looking with a scarf tied around it and colorful beads dangling.

            Rock it rasta style with our Dreadlocks Adult Wig. You’ll be jammin’ like Bob Marley in this short black dreadlocked headpiece. Rasta hat not included, but we recommend a Marley tee, mon!

             Go back in time to the era of peace love and happiness with our Feeling Groovy Wig. This long black wig includes braids and beads, and looks great with those Lennon-era circular sunglasses and a laid back attitude. Some tie dye can’t hurt either.

             Go all out ridiculous with our French Aristocrat Wig in Grey. This long curly mess harkens back to the days of lunchtime tees and horse drawn buggies to and from the palace. Put this on and feel the instant increase in status.            

            Finish off your Geppetto Costume with this great Geppetto Wig and Moustache in Grey. This getup instantly ages even the youngest men into elderly chap with a penchant for puppetry!

Gettin' Wiggy With It!

By now, you know that even the most perfect Halloween costume isn't complete without a coordinating costume wig. Just like your hairstyle can affect your mood and how others perceive you, your costume wig will affect how other's view your costume. If your wig is mismatched or inappropriate it can ruin the entire look of your costume.

So, how do you select the perfect costume wig? Well, with all thecostume wigs available at HalloweenAdventure.com, it may be difficult. The perfect costume wig is out there, you just have to find it. That's where we come in!
As always, HalloweenAdventure.com is here to save the day! (shameless plug) Instead of selecting a costume wig to go with the perfect costume, why not select a costume to go with the perfect wig?

In many cases, the wig is impressive enough to stand on its own and the costume becomes the accessory. To show you what we mean, we've taken the liberty of compiling a list of the coolest costume wigs that will make it easy for you to put together a costume to go with them. And, because we just like creating quizzes, we've constructed a quiz to help you decide which one is right for you.

So without further ado, here is our Cool Costume Wigs That Aren't Necessarily Accessories But Moreso Costume Starters Countdown, Quiz, and Coordinating Costume List: (You don't think the title is too long do you?)

5. Do you have so much money that you could buy and sell everyone in America but not enough to do something about that horrendous hairdo you've been sporting since 1965? Then our number 5 costume wig is perfect for you! Imagine the delight on everyone's face when you wear our "You're Fired" costume wig. Even The Donald is envious of our stunning brown comb-over wig! Costume Idea: A simple business suit.

4. Do you spend your evenings looking for the hottest disco dive in town only to wind up watching reruns of "Welcome Back Kotter" and "Good Times"? Do you pray that the happenin' 1970's fashions will return for a third time just so you won't have to buy new clothing? Then get ready to break out the platform shoes and don our cool Super Fro costume wig. This massive afro may not fit through the door of the dance club, but don't worry-- the party will follow you wherever you go when you're super fly in our super fro! Costume Idea: Bell-bottoms, platform shoes, shiny shirt, and dark shades.

3. Are you ready to party like it's 1985? Do you spend your Friday nights playing old Lynyrd Skynyrd songs on your acoustic guitar only to become frustrated when you can't quite remember the lyrics to "Tuesday's Gone"? Have you mastered every step in the "Achy Breaky Heart" line dance? Then prepare to score some chicks this Halloween when you wear our totally rockin' Super Mullet Costume Wig! It's all business up front and party in the back for the coolest dude in town! Costume Idea: Ripped jeans, a cut-sleeved flannel shirt, a white wife beater, and construction worker boots.

2. Are you still rockin' that Poison tat like you were when Bret Michaels was cool, oh so long ago? Do you find that men are more attractive in thick black eyeliner and pink lipstick? Do your teenage neighbors beg you to turn down your hairband music while you're in the front lawn trying to get the Trans Am running again? Then prepare to rock it like it's hot in our cool 80's Rock Star Wig. Not since the days of Cinderella and Dokken have men's hair styles been more feminine! Costume Idea: More makeup than Tammy Faye, acid washed jeans with ripped knees, a black tank top, studded leather jewelry.

And finally, the number one cool costume wig that's not necessarily an accessory but moreso a costume starter:

Do you miss the days of free love and peace rallies? Do you have vivid flashbacks thanks to the truckload of drugs you "sampled" during Woodstock? Do you remember when "Puff the Magic Dragon was a hit"? Then relive your glory days yet again in our totally groovy 1960's Hippie Wig! Let the love pour like cheap wine this Halloween! Costume Idea: Blue jeans, tie dyed t-shirt, and John Lennon shades.

So there you have it. Yet again, HalloweenAdventure.com has managed to give you marvelous ideas for your Halloween costume and we did it all without ever mentioning how cool we are or that we've been in business since 1981 or that we have over 100 costume shops all across the country, or that if you purchase $100 or more in merchandise from our massive website that you'll receive FREE shipping. . . . We didn't mention any of that.

So, what are you waiting for? Halloween is just around the corner and Halloween Adventure is just a click away. Make this Halloween an adventure with HalloweenAdventure.com!

            Looking for the real deal? Check out our Wonder Woman Adult Superhero Costume. This one is straight of the DC comics, and might just remind you of the costume Rachel Bilson wore as Summer on the OC the night she made Seth Cohen choose between her and Anna (we were always a Summer fan, all the way).

Go Grease Lightning! For the ladies







Go Grease Lightning!


            This Halloween, adorn yourself in one of our many fabulous 1950s costumes, and allow your mind to drift back to a time when dating meant “going steady” and love meant “getting his pin.” Pay homage to one of the best movies of the time, Grease, and get your Sandra Dee on!

            Our Poodle Skirt and Sweater Hallowen Historical 50’s Costume is ever so pink lady! Is that Rizzo you’re imitating? Or perhaps, Sandra Dee? Oh Danny Zuko, wherefore art thou? This costume includes a pink cardigan sweater and flared poodle skirt with a sequin and felt appliqué. It even comes complete with a polka dot scarf. Tie the scarf around your neck for added flair, and you’ll swear you’ve gone back in time!

            Why its Grease Lightning! This Poodle Outfit Costume is exactly what Sandy would wear before she joined the Pink Ladies. A turquoise poodle skirt with black felt poodle embroidered on, with a sweet white shirt and black cinch belt. Wear it to the diner, or to the bowling alley. Anywhere you go, you’ll be styling. Saddle shoes not included (but we’d recommend you get a pair!)

            The great outfit above also comes in pink! This is something Frechie would be all over. Can’t you just see her prancing around the parking lot in this full pink skirt? It even comes with black cat’s eye glasses just like the ones Frenchie would wear. Go all out with added pink scarf and black cinch belt. Just don’t forget, if you try your hand at beauty school, try not to dye your hair orange!

            Our Poodle Outfit in Pink and Black is Patty all the way! It’s sugar and spice and everything nice, with just a dash of naughty thrown in. The black skirt has an adorable embroidered pink poodle, and we recommend tying the pink scarf around the neck just like the picture shows. Just beware, Rizzo’s never liked you, and just because you’re wearing black doesn’t mean you can win her over.

            To top off your fabulous fifties costumes and do Grease right, make sure and get the necessary hair accoutrements! That’s right, wigs. For Frenchie, we recommend the 50’s Housewife Auburn Wig, while Sandy can be perfectly mimicked with our Sandy Ponytail Wig. No matter which Grease Girl you choose, make sure you bring the number one best thing about Rydell High: SPIRIT!

Go Grease Lightning! For the boys



Who said ladies get to have all the fun? Men love Grease too. They just don’t like to admit it. But once you’ve caught them in the shower, belting out “Summer Lovin” with shampoo bottle in hand, there’s no turning back. OurGrease costumes aren’t just for the girls, so men, step right down and take a look.

            For starters, our Grease Danny Wig is a surefire hit. Put this wig on, and you can almost get away with wearing whatever you want. A 50s pompadour style, this headpiece might have people confusing you with John Travolta, so you might want to practice your moves.

            If you’re looking to go all the way, check out our Danny Deluxe T-Bird Jacket Costume. This one will have you showing off your moves in front of the neighbors. Just be careful not to injure yourself when you’re jumping on and off the car doing your dance. Danny Zuko would be proud!

             Going for a look that’s a bit more Kenicky? Our Greaser Wig in Black will have all the girls fawning over you in between classes.  After all, everyone knows that a hickey from Kenicky is the best kind.

            If you’re just looking to be one of the guys, pick up a leather jacket, rock some tight jeans, and snag our 50’s Pompadour Wig. Follow Danny Zuko on his quest to captivate Sandy’s attention, and grind those hips and win those ladies with our one of a kind wig.  Be sure to practice your smoldering stare in the mirror. This headpiece has a lot of attitude, and needs some great facial expressions to go with.
