The Top Halloween Costume Ideas of 2022 for Men
As the big day gets closer and those Halloween party invites start rolling in, let’s cover the best Halloween costumes for men in 2022. At the top of our guide, you’ll find our favorite topical costume ideas based on 2022 events, movie releases, and memes. Last year, Halloween 2021 was all about Squid Game costumes, and we still expect that to be a popular costume in 2022, but there are tons more pop culture-inspired costumes to choose from this year.
If you’re just looking for the top Halloween costumes of 2022, then here’s our cheat sheet for best costumes:
Top Gun Pilot
Barbie and Ken
Stranger Things Hellfire Club
The Queen (may she rest in peace)
Elvis
Daemon Targaryen from House Of the Dragon
Rip Wheeler
Shrek
Wordle
Ted Lasso
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Euphoria teens
Lil Nas X
1. Top Gun Pilot
With the enormously successful release of Top Gun: Maverick, a pilot will surely be one of the most popular costumes in 2022. There are a few different ways to go about the look, including a jumpsuit or a leather jacket bomber, but the hat and aviators are essential. Sure, you’ll probably look a little basic next to all the other wannabe fighter pilots, but who cares? The movie ripped, and this Halloween costume will too.

Top Gun Maverick Snapback Cap
J+S Premium Military-Style Aviators
2. Stranger Things Costumes
Stranger Things took over the world this past summer. Like, completely. So much so, that it singlehandedly made Kate Bush’s 1985 hit “Running Up That Hill” a hit once again in 2022. Some might even say it was the song of the summer. This past season brought us everywhere from Hawkins to California to Russia and gave us a brand-new enemy to despise — Vecna. While there are a number of different ways to rock a Stranger Things costume for Halloween this year, we suggest a “Hellfire Club” member (because that Hellfire Club T-shirt is absolutely sick), Vecna himself, Argyle’s hippie-esque pizza outfit and, of course, throwback Eleven from season 1.
Interested in dressing as Eddie the Banished? Then combine the Hellfire Club t-shirt pictured below with this 80s rocker wig.

3. Elvis
With the release of yet another blockbuster movie with Austin Butler’s Elvis, we’re anticipating the king of rock and roll will be another popular costume. This classic look is complete with a speckled jumpsuit, a decorative belt and a scarf. If you want to go above and beyond, grab an Elvis wig so you’re head to toe.

4. Barbie & Ken
Looking for a couple’s costume? You won’t do any better than Barbie and Ken this year. While everyone anticipates Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the upcoming Barbie movie in 2023, we suspect Barbie-related costumes to be all over the place this Halloween. Throw yourself into these vintage Barbie cases or throw a Barbiecore trend look together with hot pink pieces you’ve collected over the past year.

5. Shrek
This might seem a bit random, but here us out. Shrek has become one of the most enduring memes and beloved characters in all of pop culture, and the ogre has earned his spot at the top of our guide to the best Halloween costumes of 2022. This is also a really flexible costume, as you can go full-ogre with a green rubber mask or simply use ogre-ear headbands. If your partner or bestie is willing to be Donkey or Princess Fiona, you’ve instantly got a couple’s costume or group costume.

6. Carmy from The Bear
Another series that dominated 2022 was The Bear on Hulu. This series follows a world-renowned chef named Carmy (played by Jeremy Allen White) who takes over a family deli in Chicago after the death of his brother. It’s left viewers with laughs, tears and anticipation for another season. This costume is way easy to pull off, simply throw on a cream or white tee, a blue apron and black pants. Maybe add some forearm tattoos while you’re at it. We had the chance to learn from The Bear‘s costume designers regarding where to purchase the actual tee they used on Carmy, so if you want to complete the look as legit as you can, you’re in luck.

Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion have long since retreated from pop culture, yet somehow, the Playboy brand is more visible than ever.

8. Ted Lasso
It’s safe to say that Ted Lasso‘s gotten us through the past few years, and the second season brought back our beloved characters for another welcome chapter. This unexpected college-level American football coach has become a staple of comedy, and we’re guessing his familiar getup will be another popular choice for Halloween costumes for men this year. The outfit is going to get pretty DIY, but it’s relatively easy to throw Ted’s look together. And everyone who has fallen in love with the show will know exactly who you are.

It might feel like forever ago, but Euphoria season two actually aired in 2022. Yep, it’s been quite the year. While you can really throw together any revealing outfit and just add a little bit of face glitter to the mix, you can never go wrong with Maddy’s carnival look from season one or perhaps young Cal Jacobs’ singlet look from wrestling practice.

10. Daemon Targaryen from House Of the Dragon
In August 2022, HBO finally released the much-anticipated Game Of Thrones prequel, House Of the Dragon. It was said to have drawn in 10 million viewers worldwide, making it the largest audience of any new HBO original series ever. That said, we expect a number of costumes from the show to dominate this Halloween season, but for now, we’re throwing Daemon Targaryen your way. Get ready for the beginning of it all.

11. Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone
Looking for the Yellowstone costume? Dress up as ranch hand Rip Wheeler this Halloween. This costume is complete with everything you need to rock the look, making things a ton easier for you.

12. FBI Agent
Watch out, it’s the feds! While police Halloween costumes aren’t as popular as they used to be, FBI agent costumes are trending this year. Whether you think the surprise FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar a Lago compound was long overdue or a travesty of justice, there’s a lot of fun to be had with this costume. To pull of this Halloween costume, simply combine this FBI jacket with sunglasses and khakis. If your friend or partner in crime dresses up as Joe Biden or Donald Trump, then you instantly have the perfect group Halloween costume. (For fans of Andy Dwyer on Parks & Rec, this can also serve as a Burt Macklin costume.)

13. Hot Dog Costume
Something you’ve considered (or have been) for Halloween in the past? A hot dog. But you have to do it again because of that hilarious meme from I Think You Should Leave. After all, we’re all trying to find the guy who did this! Even if you don’t get that reference, a hot dog is a classically silly costume that’s never a bad decision.

14. Ghostface & Drew Barrymore from Scream
Here’s another one of our favorite couple’s costume ideas, although it can also work as a solo costume. Ghostface is always one of the best Halloween costumes, but if you really want to win a costume content in 2022, go the extra mile and turn this into a couple’s costume. All you need is a blonde bob wig and a telephone prop and you have a genius throwback costume. With 90s pop-culture suddenly popular again, it’s the perfect way to stand out on Halloween.

15. Avatar: The Last Airbender
We absolutely cannot wait for Netflix’s live-action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The cast was recently announced and it looks like it’s going to be killer. So, what are we wearing this Halloween? An Aang costume. It’s mandatory.

16. Wordle
If 2022 could be summed up with one new game, it would be Wordle. Everything you’ve been playing on your PS5 can’t even compare. Like Stranger Things, Wordle took the world by storm this year. This is an easy costume to rock with a simple T-shirt purchase from Etsy, or if you want to make it into a fun group costume, grab a couple of buddies and wear shirts with different letters in green, yellow or grey boxes.

17. The Queen
Welp, it finally happened. Her Majesty, The Queen of England has finally passed away after 96 years on this Earth and 70 years on the throne. Not to be, uh, mean, but realistically speaking, she does make an iconic Halloween costume. And it’s a plus if you have a couple of corgis to add to the mix. Sure, it’s going to be one of the most controversial Halloween costumes of the year, and it’s not in great taste, but we do expect to see a lot of royal highnesses this year.
Queen Elizabeth Mask
18. Lil Nas X Montero State Prison Jumpsuit
Lil Nas X’s music video “Industry Baby” with Jack Harlow came out in 2021, but it’s still iconic. Clad yourself in a classic Montero State Prison jumpsuit from the video. This will include a little DIY (you’ll have to find a way to print your white prison number on your chest yourself), but we have the perfect hot pink scrubs to get you started.

Lightyear, Pixar’s newest movie within the world of Toy Story, came out in June 2022 and while it wasn’t the world’s best-received movie, it still warmed the hearts of many. That’s why Buzz himself is one of the best costumes for Halloween this year. This can also be a great couples costume by adding Woody or Little Bo Peep to the mix.

22. Inventing Anna
Lots of TV has really taken over 2022. Inventing Anna was another one that took the world by storm, based on the infamous scammer and fake German heiress Anna Delvey. Rock her in-prison look this Halloween, which is probably the most recognizable (and funny) of the looks Delvey pulled off.

23. Minion
After the newest Minion movie came out earlier in 2022, a Minion is on our radar as one of the best Halloween costumes to rock this year. It’s creepy, funny, odd and exciting for an adult to wear something like this, so we’re sure you’ll get a couple of uncomfortable laughs from your buddies and wide eyes from kids.

24. Squid Game Costume
Squid Game technically came out in 2021, but the show’s popularity continued in 2022 with the announcement of a new season in the works. It felt like more people were dressed as Squid Game characters last year than any other television show in the history of the universe, so we’re guessing this costume will be popular again this time around. This tracksuit is still available but will sell out quickly once Halloween gets closer, so don’t procrastinate.

25. Among Us
Although this one is also a little dated since Among Us was most popular back in 2020, you simply can’t go wrong with an Among Us costume. Plus, they’re way too funny.

26. She-Hulk
After She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is likely to be a popular costume this Halloween due to its launch on Disney+ in August 2022. The series follows Tatiana Maslany playing Jennifer Walters, a woman playing your average attorney who also happens to be a massive 6’7″ green superhuman. This costume comes with everything you need aside from green face paint, which we also offer down below.

27. President Joe Biden
Slip this latex mask on, don a suit and tie, and you’ll look like our President of the United States in no time. Just don’t forget the aviator sunglasses and maybe a stuffed German Shepherd to carry around! This year, fans of the president may also be looking for Dark Brandon costumes. With a little ingenuity and some DIY crafting, this mask can be used to create your own Halloween costume out of the political meme.

28. Dr. Fauci

But, whether he likes it or not, Dr. Fauci has become a cultural icon and a household name ever since the world went downhill in 2020 due to COVID-19. Now that monkeypox is making its rounds, step outside this Halloween dressed as the man, the myth, the legend himself: Dr. Fauci.

Who can forget the great crypto crash of 2022? The death of cryptocurrency has caused some hardship, but we can’t help but be not totally surprised that an unregulated currency tanked as established financial markets also struggled.
