“RAWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!”

I wonder if my coworkers are really frightened of me yet? Halloween is right around the corner, and I’ve been sporting my trademark “Wolfey” costume around the studios! I’ve really been looking forward to Halloween this year because let's face it, 2020 has been a spooky year.

As a glasses-wearer, I remember it was always kind of tough picking out the perfect Halloween costume. Sure, you could try to fit your glasses under a big mask, but things always got really special once your glasses started fogging up under the mask in the darkness. My Wolfey costume is once again my go-to this year because it works perfectly with my new glasses from Mainely Eyes inside the Bangor Mall.

Are you or your kids stuck trying to figure out the perfect Halloween costume as a glasses-wearer? During my recent trip to Mainely Eyes, I was inspired to come up with my top-5 Halloween costumes that go perfect with glasses.

1. The Doctor

Glasses and a doctor’s uniform pair perfectly together. Just throw on a clean white coat, grab that stethoscope, and sport some amazing glasses for that smart, professional look that every brain surgeon would be envious of.

Whether you’re channeling your inner Harry Potter or going for that traditional witch look, a great-looking pair of specs will help you look the part! And if you’re looking for a specific style to match this costume, you could find exactly what you are looking for at Mainely Eyes, complete with your prescription.

3. Wayne Algar

Party on duuuuude! Channel your inner metalhead with a flannel, long-haired wig, super thick black-rimmed glasses and BOOM – you’re Wayne Algar from “Wayne’s World” fame. Take the act even further and find yourself a Garth. You’ll definitely “be worthy” of Halloween greatness while wearing your glasses.

4. Hipster Zombie

It’s like a regular zombie, but just more, you know….trendy. You’ll be totally outside the regular mainstream world of Halloween costumes when you throw your glasses on as a zombie. Expert tip: take this glasses-wearing Halloween costume to the next level by sporting the traditional hipster beard.

5. Peace n’ Love Pup

Halloween can be fun for more than just the humans! There are tons of costume ideas for your pets too that want to hang around the house or hit the road with you. Consider the Peace n’ Love Pup, and if your furry friend can stand it, some sunglasses to go with it. Beware: sunglasses may be chewed.


Hopefully that gives all the glasses-wearers out there like me a few new ideas when it comes to Halloween 2020.

And if you’re looking to complete your outfit or upgrade your style, head to Mainely Eyes and they’ll help you find exactly what you need for glasses or sunglasses. Don’t miss their 50% off frames sale before October ends. Happy Halloween!
