With Halloween just around the corner, it's important to start thinking of costume ideas. Even though we can't have the big parties we all want, that doesn't mean we can't dress up as our favourite characters. Swapping parties for virtual costume contests, household scavenger hunts or a Halloween movie night are great ways to have fun and stay safe. Looking to take first place in the costume contest? Or simply trying to spice up movie night? Take a look at our list of Halloween costumes for glasses wearers.
Harry Potter -
A classic but unbeatable choice. The thin round metal frames worn by Harry Potter have become iconic in the film world and beyond. Whether you're settling in for a movie marathon or looking to score 10 points for Gryffindor in your virtual costume party, you can't go wrong with these iconic frames. Bonus points and a few extra golden Galleons if you can find 2 extra friends to complete the meddlesome trio!
Dwight Schrute -
Identity theft might not be a joke but it does make for a great Halloween costume. Give your shirt guy a call, don your calculator watch and finish it off with those old-school aviator glasses. This is one of a few great costumes for glasses wearers and Office fans alike and as Dwight says; "You never know when you're gonna need to bear a passing resemblance to someone."
Velma from "Scooby Doo" -
A simple yet unmistakable look. All this costume needs is a lot of orange, a splash of red and a pair of those iconic specs. Those of you who already wear square-shaped glasses are halfway there. Simply combine a baggy orange turtle neck with a red skirt, orange socks, red shoes and finally that stylish pair of black square glasses.
Clark Kent/Superman -
Looking for two costumes in one? Dressing up as the mild-mannered journalist from Krypton gives you a great way of spicing up your look through the evening. All you have to do is hide that symbol for hope beneath a journalist-style outfit, whether that includes a stylish suit or simply a white shirt that you don't mind ripping open to reveal that iconic S.
Walter White -
Breaking bad may have ended a while ago but Walter White is still an iconic look. Whether you're playing the innocent high school chemistry teacher with his unmistakable goatee and chequered shirts. Or perhaps the drug king pin Heisenberg is more your speed, equipped with stylish pork pie hat and moustache. The boldest amongst you could go all out with his famous yellow hazmat suit and black respirator mask.
Napoleon Dynamite -
You don't need nunchucks, bowhunting or computer hacking skills to nail Napoleons iconic style from the cult classic film "Napoleon Dynamite". Even Kip and Uncle Rico will be jealous of this look. All you need is a pair of stylish metal aviator frames, vote for Pedro t-shirt, blue jeans, black boots and last but not least, that unmistakeable brown afro (real or otherwise).
Here at Spex4less, we have plenty of glasses and sunglasses to help perfect the look of whichever alter-ego you go for.
