Dwight Schrute
You know you want to be the Assistant to the Regional Manager!
Grab a yellow shirt and add to it a clip on tie with work pants and boots. Along with oversized glasses or aviators and a middle part, you will transform into one f the most beloved characters from The Office. Bonus points for a stapler holster or a beet for a truly Schrute-worthy touch!
Steve Jobs

Create the iconic look with a new black turtleneck with jeans and his round rimmed glasses and you have a great costume. Especially perfect if your hair is thinning or you keep it cut short. Holding your iphone will be a natural extension of your costume!
Elton John
This picture is one of the more tame looks this singer has sported!
Look back through the years to see his amazing, over the top costumes he has worn during his concerts to get all kinds of inspiration. Or, if you rather, for this look, pop on a pair of rose colored glasses, a pinky peach jacket over a white shirt, and a microphone, and you are set! Elton John can be the muse for so many fun Halloween costume ideas.
Austin Powers
You are so cheeky baby!!
If you have thick black glasses, rock this crushed velvet pantsuit with a ruffled white shirt underneath to completely look the part. The best part is if you are currently sporting this hairstyle, you are all set! If you want a little boost in that department, a wig can work wonders. Even add in a little dental accessory to really sell the look. Groovy baby!
Andy Warhol
Talk about an iconic glasses wearer!
Andy Warhol is known for his white hair and glasses almost as much as he is for his famous art. If you already have the white hair, perfect! If not, you can don a wig or use spray color to make your hair white. Pop on your glasses and grab a can of Campbell’s soup or a polaroid camera and you are ready to go in an great costume idea that still takes you to the next level.
Hirotaka Nifuji
Anime has really taken off in recent years, and there are soooo many amazing anime characters who wear glasses! Definitely check that out for lots of ideas and inspiration. We chose a couple to feature on this list, the first being Hirotaka Nifuji. We chose him because of his distinctive square framed glasses. This might be a perfect fit for those with similar prescription glasses.
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp has played a zillion iconic characters in his acting career, so he has a number of Halloween outfits and inspirations. But his own sense of style is worthy of a Halloween costume look as well. Grab a hat, scarf, all kinds of jewelry, and a leather jacket to pair with his black framed glasses and you will be instantly recognizable.
Gandhi
If you are keen to wear a toga, this is the perfect Halloween costume for you! Pay homage to this legendary historical figure while staying comfortable on October 31st.
We certainly could have also used Ghandi as inspiration for a costume on our list of Halloween costumes for bald guys.
Macho Man Randy Savage
Want a little color and pizazz in your costume?
Macho Man will cover all those criteria! Grab a pair of sunglasses, or even better, wear your own prescription lenses to complete the look. If you don’t need glasses for vision correction, get the perfect look with the link below.
John Lennon
Glasses so famous they have their own style category. When you think of round lenses, you think of John Lennon.
He sported many looks over the years when he was with the Beatles, and later as part of John and Yoko. Get the iconic New York City shirt, or grab a floppy felt hat or black beret for the 60’s counterculture look. Lots of inspiration and ideas to choose from, all with his signature specs.
Neo
Look for a similar style to Neo’s from The Matrix – think small, dark, rectangular frames. A black trench coat over a long-sleeved black shirt and jeans instantly creates the Neo vibe. Bonus points for spiky hair and carrying a phone – after all, he might be getting a message from Morpheus!
Hank Hill
Square framed glasses are perfect to pair them with a white pocket tee, khaki pants and brown work boots to complete the quintessential Hank Hill look. Bonus points for a propane tank hat or a can of Strickland Propane for an extra dose of Arlen, Texas authenticity!
This costume is perfect for anyone who wears glasses and wants a comfortable, recognizable look that’s easy to throw together.
Colonel Sanders
This hilarious classic still serves!
The face of KFC, Colonel Sanders is well known for his glasses, white shirt and white suit with his signature tie. Grab a rubber chicken to have one of the best Halloween Costumes for your office costume competition or your Halloween party!
Malcolm X
These glasses are so famous, all you have to do is say to someone “Malcolm X glasses” and they know exactly what you are talking about. Dress in a crisp black suit, white dress shirt and tie and you are set!
Teddy Roosevelt
If you have wireless frame glasses, this is a perfect look to build around them. Slap on a campaign sticker, sport his signature mustache, and add in a teddy bear and the costume will be perfect. You can go with the outdoorsman Teddy for Halloween night.
Kusuo Saiki
One of the most recognizable anime characters, Kusuo Saiki is a super fun Halloween costume with those distinctive green pair of glasses. A plain green zip-up hoodie or jacket over a white t-shirt and black pants captures Saiki’s everyday look. Bonus points for a pink backpack to complete the iconic vibe. Plus, of course, that pink hair! A look made for Halloween season.
Walter Sobchak
This iconic character played by John Goodman in The Big Lebowski is a great Halloween costume idea!
Channel Walter Sobchak’s rage with a costume built around a pair of aviator glasses, modern or vintage styles of a bowling shirt or Hawaiian shirt – untucked, of course – and khaki pants. Bonus points for a military surplus vest (Vietnam War vet, remember?) and a bowling trophy clearly marked “Dude”. We even linked the right pair of frames with yellow lenses for you to rock this look.
Peter Griffin
This is one of the easiest costumes, and it is all about comfort, food, and little fashion. Throw on a white undershirt and a baggy pair of green sweatpants. Bonus points for a cheap novelty phone strapped to your belt and a can of Pawtucket Patriot Ale.
Napoleon Dynamite
If you wear glasses and have curly, poofy hair, you are almost already done with this costume! Grab a “Vote for Pedro” t-shirt (DIY or online) and pair it with some comfy cargo pants. Any old sneakers will do. If you are not blessed with the locs, grab a curly wig to complete the look.
Clark Kent
We have to include Clark Kent in this list!
One of the most iconic, favorite characters who wears glasses. This is the classic nerd costume that has the secret, very not nerdy, alter ego of Superman. The best part? It’s a super easy costume to pull off!
