Manly Costume Duos

I recently wrote about famous women duos that are fun to dress up at anytime of the year. I thought it would be fun to explore the best duo options for men, but when I started writing them up I realized that there are far more options for men than women. Not fair! I am going to have to stockpile famous female duos for future posts. Anyway men, here are some good ideas for the next time you and a friend want to dress up:

1. Jay and Silent Bob- The long hair might be difficult, but other than that this is a classic retro look from the ‘90s.
2. Batman and Robin- The penultimate duo, maybe a bit overdone. But what woman wouldn’t like to see a man in green tights? 
3. Hot Fuzz- If you haven’t seen the film it’s an absolute must. I laughed until I cried. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make a fantastic duo. 
4. Calvin & Hobbes – This costume could work as a duo, Hobbes is always more fun when he’s alive anyway.
5. Charlie Brown & Schroeder or Linus- Schroeder is the perfect wing-man for Charlie Brown because he can woo the ladies with music. If neither one of you is musical than you may have to be Linus. 
6. Starsky & Hutch- Because who doesn’t want to be those guys?
7. Frodo & Sam- Everyone under the age of 30 will be so excited. My kids just loved those movies when they came out.
8. R2-D2 & C3PO- A good R2-D2 costume continues to win the best dressed costume award at most parties. So if you have time to put together a convincing robot costume — do it.

The rest are pretty self explanatory. I promise to do a post soon detailing how to dress up as these characters in detail. But for now here’s who made the list, let me know if you have any other suggestions: 

1. Laurel & Hardy.
2. Hall & Oates. 
3. Siskel & Ebert. 
4. Lone Ranger & Tonto. 
5. Cheech & Chong. 
6. Moose & Squirrel from Bullwinkle. 
7. Tweedledee and Tweedledum
8. Donald and Daffy Duck.
9. Beavis & Butthead.
10. Garfield and Odie.
11. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin
12. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson
13. Simon and Garfunkel
14. Cain and Abel
15. Bert & Ernie
16. Pinky and the Brain
17. John Lennon and Paul McCartney
