Magic Mike Costumes (When He's Wearing Something At All!)

Magic Mike was a popular 2012 movie about male strippers. It was loosely based on the life of the star actor, Channing Tatum, who was himself a male stripper in Tampa when he was 18. Magic Mike would be a great costume for any guy. It doesn't matter if you are dressing up for Halloween or any time of the year, you'll be sure to stand out in a crowd.

While anyone can wear these costumes, you'll need a certain level of confidence to completely pull them off. After all, most of the time Magic Mike isn't wearing much of anything at all.

As you can see from the Magic Mike trailer, the costume is pretty basic and has a few varieties. The basic components are tight-fitting black pants, no shirt, and a few accessories, namely shirt cuffs and a collar with a tie. You could also go with a leather vest and a cowboy hat.

• Leather Vest: Magic Mike often wears a leather vest with his black leather pants. Worn open, of course. Leather apparel can be very expensive, but you can probably find an inexpensive costume option online or at a costume store.
• Self-Tanner and Bronzer: You might want to stock up on some self-tanner beforehand for that authentic touch. Bronzer can be used to contour a six-pack if you don't have one already!
• Camo Pants: Camouflage pants are another look Magic Mike dons in the movie. This is more of a casual look, and you may even be able wear them again (not that you couldn't wear the leather again, but you'll probably get more use out of these). They're also baggier than most leather pants, so more forgiving for different body types.
