Costumes! Yes the time has come ladies and gentlemen for the geeks and nerds to have an excuse to don the attires of their favorite fictional characters as they convene to heaven on earth for one day. With the grapevine buzzing this year with big things coming from local companies like ScrinArts studios, PBE Productions, Kenya Noir Studios Ltd and more you will be a fool to miss out in this year’s edition. If however you “never knew when it was”(translation: you’re  just a lazy bum) or you didn’t have the time  then you probably have no costume then worry not for here are 7 easy and cool costumes you could put together with little or no effort.

Disclaimer: this list should not be taken too seriously if you want very legit costume try Birdie Costumes 

Professor Chaos- South Park stick of truth

Napoleon more commonly known as Butters is one of the greatest characters in south Park history. Originally brought on to replace Kenny he made such a name for himself that he gave himself another name, Professor Chaos. The get up is probably one of the easiest with drapes being used as his cloak and foil for helmets and gloves. If you want to recreate this costume authentically you might use foil but if you’re one of those people that care about opinions why not experiment with more sturdy materials.

Carl Johnson – Grand theft Auto San Andreas

One of the most iconic characters with one of the simplest laid back attire; white vest and blue jeans. And since San Andreas allowed you to change your body type there is no “right body type”.  You don’t have to stick to San andreas since all the other GTA protagonist have signature attires that I’m sure you can get at any shop.

Wizards- Various

Whether its inspired by Dumbledore Gandalf or any other of the generic RPG brands wizards are kind of easy to dress up as (Note this is a lazy man’s instructions so if you expect me to tell you how to dress exactly lie Dumbledore you’re in the wrong place Buddy) all you need is a staff and a robe you can also add a beard if you wish. Personally I trust my skills enough to sew a piece of material to look like a robe but if you can’t tailors and materials are cheap and readily available.

Two face Harvey- Batman

The only costume in the list that might need you to put on make-up if you want to get that 100% authentic feel however if you don’t just get a suit and make the left half to look tattered (extra points if you actually burn it). If destroying a perfectly good suit isn’t something in you agenda you can always put on a bow-tie and carry an umbrella and Rambo-bambo-boom your Oswald Cobble pot.

The First Spiderman costume- Spider-man (movies)

We all dream of dressing up one day as the Spiderman but unfortunately not all of us have the resources or right looks to rock a blue and red spandex costume. Fortunately Spiderman is always making an earlier version of his suit for us fashion conscious geeks. The choice of which one to use is up to you but the easier one would be the Andrew griffin one: casual clothes and a mask made from a cheap red material and old Sunglasses. 

Storm- X-MEN

Let me just say personally I will feel particularly bad if there will be no Storm costume for every Naiccon or Kenyan costume based event I mean in the marvel universe she is the Queen of Kenya. Queen. We should appreciate her more or we might get Askari the spear instead. In fact if I didn’t have a personal Vendetta against weaves I would have gotten a white one added bit of materials to a black top and leggings and voila, Storm.  

An extra- [any movie/game/comic of your choice]

This ladies and gentlemen has to be the most lackluster costume idea I have ever gotten in history. It’s so lazy I feel it should definitely be considered a life hack. Just put on random clothes and tell everybody you are that guy in the background in that movie. Or you could borrow your friend’s clothes and go as him or her.

I feel like at this point I should apologies to all my female readers that there isn’t enough costumes for you guys but next time this list will definitely feature more for you.  Anyway those are my easy costumes if you have any more why not share them in the comments
