Halloween Costumes for Men - Men's guide on what to wear this Halloween and where to buy 


Summer is over, festival season has come to a close. For the hardcore, it’s now been two months since you either got off the Playa or have been hearing endless stories and have been mounting regret for skipping Burning Man this year. Luckily Halloween is right around the corner, and we have one last chance to reprise the ethos of radical self expression before the familial responsibilities and traditions of the holiday season.


Here’s your guide for where to go in NYC, SF, and LA, and what to wear. It’s just two weeks out from the big day, so if you are racking your brain trying to figure out how to:

  1. Glean inspiration from esoteric event Pinterest mood boards to look unique and create a statement
  2. Analyze the invite and website to understand how you can fit the vibe of the environment
  3. Not look like your outfit came from Spirit Halloween…
  4. But also not drop a load of cash just for one night of dancing
  5. It’s crunch time, so whatever you get, you’ve got to get it FAST

…then this is the post for you. Don’t worry we have got you covered. Badass halloween costumes for men for whatever vibe you’re feeling — to help you stand-out in the best way, quick shipping and links from Amazon, and every item is reasonably priced, almost every item below $100!

LA & SF Halloween: Mayan Warrior - Halloween Costumes for Men

Mayan Warrior Halloween 2022 - halloween costumes for men

Mayan Warrior is probably one of the most well-known Art Cars from Burning Man. If you are on the dance music scene and haven't heard of Mayan Warrior, you are missing out on epic lighting, state of the art sound systems, and incredibly talented DJs. The car is a collaboration between Mexican artists and musicians to create one of the most memorable experiences both on and off the Playa.

If you peruse Mayan Warrior's LA ticket page, there's not too much information to glean for outfit inspiration. In fact, it's a week before the event and the location is still listed as TBD. Perhaps the mystery is purposeful - to let your imagination roam! 


The Mayan Warrior Facebook page isn't much more help. Most of the photos are from Burning Man, where self expression and quirkiness are king and styles are as varied as the number of attendees. 


However, if we take our cues from the art car itself, the name Mayan Warrior implies a tribal, jungle feel. The car's décor is vibrant, colorful and vivacious! The halloween costumes for men below fuse together styles and to create unique looks for your Halloween night out!

  • Because…there's only one alpha in the wolfpack
