20 Halloween Costumes That Will Look Dope All Year Round

If you're looking to experience some advanced layering, copping an Obi-Wan outfit is a strong Jedi move. Plus, light saber.

It's no secret that baseball tees have been huge recently. America's pastime is a constant inspiration for men's style, so reworking the jersey (or even just the hat) should be an easy move.

While you may not have to walk the wall to check for White Walkers and Wildings every night, if your Halloween night is cold, you'll not only look the part but also stay ridiculously warm—kill two crows with one stone. And when winter comes, you have a gothic, exaggerated piece of outerwear that people will assume is Rick Owens, not from Amazon's costume department.

You really can never go wrong with flannel and dark denim. Aside from being a relatively easy costume to assemble from the gear in your closet, each piece of this costume can be worn again at some point either on its own or all together.

Clint Eastwood embodied this look in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and to be honest, the look is still badass as hell. Considering the only thing you'll need to complete this costume is the poncho and the cowboy hat, you're likely going to be able to wear this again if you have the confidence to look a little outrageous on a regular day.

Considering soccer jerseys look dope outside of watching the World Cup, the one you wear on Halloween night will definitely get play throughout the season.

Alright, so this is a pretty piss-poor version of the real thing, but with a pair of Nike Mags paired with a futuristic take on a classic American look, you could conceivably stunt on Halloween...and into the future!

Simply put, a gray suit is a gray suit. But while the bulk of the costume can be worn throughout the year, you might want to consider ditching the red bow tie, white leather shoes and the wacky playhouse when it hits Nov. 1. 

A classic greaser look of the '50s is timeless. A word to the wise though, if you cop that vinyl costume leather, you're obviously going to be inferior to a genuine leather jacket even if you pair it with a crisp white tee, selvedge denim, and classic kicks.

Mounties are a symbol of Canadian justice. While the whole outfit may be a little hard to recycle later (shouts to Dudley Do-Right though), at the very least you can wear the riding boots, rock the bright red jacket if you have the confidence to, or re-purpose the hat for a throwback Pharrell costume next year.

A flight jumpsuit may be the most underutilized military garment ever. It's certainly not for the faint of heart, but wearing a jumpsuit takes the military vibe and cranks it up to 11. Just don't act like Goose. Nobody likes Goose.

While wearing this outfit won't help you pull off a heist, you will be able to wear that striped shirt after the holiday.

While places like Palace and Supreme make fun of or flip police insignias, the cops do have some clean attire. Regardless of your opinions on the boys in blue, that shouldn't stop you from wearing cargo utility trousers or the patched up button down shirt.

The OG playboy. If your life allows you to wear a robe on the regular, you should most definitely rock the Playboy robe in your day-to-day. And even if HR sends you a warning email about the way you dress, you think that would've held Hef back?

The galaxies' original badass. You may not have as good a wingman as Chewbacca, but you'll have no problem looking great on Halloween (and completing the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs). You may not want to wear your shirt with so few buttons outside of a tropical island, or rock a vest without a jacket, but given that Han Solo is still considered one of the coolest dudes in science fiction, you'll look dope—even if just by association.

Wearing a mask like this will creep the shit out of people, but the oversized red shirt is a dope piece to add to your regularly scheduled line-up.

Being a fisherman is some legitimately tough work. The rigors of the trade practically demand that fishermen wear all-weather, waterproof gear. Of course you don't want to dress like a school bus, but the foul-weather-friendly jacket, hat, and pants might actually come in handy throughout the year.

While fedoras remain a complicated cultural talking point, it's hard to deny the style of Al Capone-era gangsters. The shoes and blazer probably have to go, but you might actually be able to salvage the pinstripe trousers into something respectable.

Whether you're a fan of Italian soccer club Juventus or work at Foot Locker, wearing a ref's vertical and monochromatic stripes isn't something that would be considered a foul later on in the year.

If you're worried about seeming like a geek for being into Star Trek, take a step back. This is 2014, and with plenty of sci-fi material and comics becoming mainstream blockbusters, you really have no reason to hide your inner nerd. Besides, wearing the uniform's asymmetrically colorblocked shirt (sans badge) will legitimately snap some necks.
