Reservoir Dogs
Using the iconic and stylish Tarantino flick as costume inspiration couldn’t be easier. Throw on a slim black suit, a white shirt (blood-soaked or not), and a skinny black tie. Black Wayfarers are optional, but hell, who doesn’t look cool in black Wayfarers? Bonus, this also looks great with a group of friends. And cue the song…
Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
Take your power suit to murderous new heights. Wear a preppy navy or pinstriped suit with a striped power tie and add a prop knife covered with fake (hopefully?) blood. Feel free to add a little blood spatter to the face and a pair of rubber gloves for extra effect. The business cards are up to you, but we recommend Courier New on a parchment-colored stock.
James Bond
Since every single man looks outstanding in a well-fitting tux, why not take every opportunity to wear one? Add a fake gun and you’re good to go. Take a day or so and work on your British accent, order a martini, and practice being cool and aloof. Trust us, it will work.
Johnny Cash
Ever wanted an excuse to wear all-black-everything and not feel like a weirdo? This is it. Channel the South's favorite badass Man In Black and wear your razor-sharp black suit, a black shirt, and tie. Black cowboy boots and a bolo tie are optional but will only add to your badassery. Finish with a slicked-back pompadour, a sneer, and a guitar. Strumming softly as you serenade a fine-looking gal in a sexy nurse costume couldn't be easier, all you need is a little bit of attitude.
Superman
Simply wear a Superman “S”-style t-shirt (try amazon.com) underneath your suit and tie and add a pair of fake glasses and you’ll be ready to save some damsels in distress just like the Man of Steel. Don’t forget to use your x-ray vision with some discretion.
Don Draper
TV’s favorite ad man and dapper legend is very easy to execute. Wear a grey suit, white shirt, and a classic, vintage-inspired striped tie. Don’t forget the tie bar too. Slick back your hair, pour yourself a whiskey and light a cigarette, have you ever felt this suave? Tip: Try searching your local thrift or vintage store for a 60’s-style tie.
