Larry David Costume
Prett-y, prett-y, pretty good. Master the art of the social assassin.
Embrace your inner curmudgeon with a Larry David costume, inspired by his semi-fictionalized self in HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. Fans love this costume because it is incredibly comfortable, instantly recognizable to comedy lovers, and allows you to complain about minor social grievances all night. The signature look combines high-end casual comfort with a slightly disheveled, academic-meets-athletic aesthetic.

How to put it together
- 1
Put on the brown corduroy pants or khaki trousers.
- 2
Layer the solid light grey crewneck sweatshirt over a plain undershirt.
- 3
Slip the unstructured navy blue blazer over the sweatshirt, leaving it unbuttoned.
- 4
Put on the round, wire-rimmed glasses.
- 5
Lace up your comfortable brown leather oxfords or walking shoes.
- 6
Shrug your shoulders, squint slightly, and adopt a skeptical expression.

- This is one of the warmest and most comfortable costumes for chilly October weather due to the layered sweatshirt and corduroy pants.
- For photos, stand with your head tilted slightly back, squinting through your glasses as if evaluating someone's lie.
- Check local thrift stores first; they are goldmines for vintage blazers, corduroy pants, and plain grey sweatshirts.
