Fireman Halloween Costumes

Fireman Halloween costumes are really the only thing you need to consider if you’re hoping to find the male alternative to those sexy costumes women are always wearing. Any man looks great in a fireman’s outfit. Heroic, strong, proud, manly. You can weigh three hundred pounds, you can have a nose too big for your face, you can have a serious lisp, but women will swoon over any guy in a fireman’s outfit.

But let’s talk about the responsibilities of real firemen for a moment. The part of the job you always see is very exciting, very dangerous and very brave. They rush into burning buildings and save people in distress. But the REAL heroic part? They’re willing to sit around being bored stiff for hours a day, just waiting for something to happen.

Real fire fighters perform a duty that is incredibly important, and that’s why they’re considered so sexy, but there’s a price to pay with all of the boredom and ennui they sit through.

Of course, you on the other hand only need wear the costume and you are good to go. The women at the party aren’t going to care that you’ve never really rushed into a burning building, you look the part and that’s close enough to make you the sexiest man at the party no matter how you really look underneath the outfit. But of course, you do have to get into the character! Here are some tips.

Grow a Mustache Out

You are going to need a mustache. Most of us look goofy with a mustache, but it looks great on a fire fighter for some reason. The bushier the better. Now, your friends are going to be making some Hall and Oates jokes throughout October, but ignore them, because they’ll be wishing it was their idea on the thirty first when you’re stealing all the ladies at the party. You may also want to grow out a one day beard so that you can really get a nice scruffy, manly look going.

Develop Your New York Accent

What’s sexier than a fireman? A New York Fireman, that’s what. If you really want to sell the part, if you really want to be the lady’s man of the party, you’ll want to start watching some Harvey Keitel movies. In particular, check out Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, watch them on loop so that you can really get a feel for gritty New York life and really play the part of a tough Brooklyn fire fighter.

Soot it Up!

Burn some wine corks and use the soot to powder your face and suit so that you can look like you just came from the fire when you get to the party. The only thing sexier than a New York fire fighter is one who just came from a fire. It’s all about playing the part, so don’t let a little ash on your face bother you, you’re a fireman, remember?
