Halloween Costume Idea For Blonde Men
Matt and Nick Jackson wrestle as tag team partners who hit rapid-fire superkicks on anyone nearby and throw up the Too Sweet hand sign like it settles the matter. The jacket sets the base of the look, but the fringe running down the back and legs is what turns a plain leather outfit into specifically them. Matt and Nick Jackson, real surname Massie, co-founded All Elite Wrestling and became the company’s executive vice presidents in January 2019 (Wikipedia), so wrestling fans who follow AEW will place the costume instantly. Everyone else will just see a very committed rock star look.

People notice the fringe first, the way it swings when you move, and if it’s glued on loosely it starts falling off within a couple hours, which turns the costume into a leather jacket with some string hanging off it instead of a wrestling entrance look. The wig does the same recognition work from a distance, but only if it’s worn loose instead of tucked under the jacket collar. At a dim party, the yellow duck tape on the wrists actually reads fastest, since it’s the brightest thing on the whole outfit. Skip the patches and the costume still works. Skip the fringe and it stops being The Young Bucks.
Matt and Nick hit rapid-fire superkicks on people who are nowhere near ready for them, then throw up the Too Sweet sign, pinky and ring finger down, thumb across them, like it explains everything. At one show they superkicked their own father during a live match. That tells you how seriously they take the bit.
Glue the fringe a full day ahead
Fabric glue needs longer to set than most people expect, and fringe applied the same afternoon can peel at the edges within an hour of wear. Do it the night before and let it sit flat overnight. If you use iron-on tape instead, press it twice, once warm and once after it cools, or it lifts at the corners first.
Practice the Too Sweet handshake before the party
If you’re doing this as a duo, the synchronized Too Sweet only lands if both of you throw it on the exact same beat, and that takes an actual run-through, not just knowing the hand shape. Do it once in the mirror together before you leave the house. Fumbling it in front of wrestling fans is worse than skipping the gesture entirely.
Trio Idea: The Elite
Excellent trio if you can find a third person, since the three of them were an actual on-screen faction for years and the Too Sweet gesture works even better with three hands instead of two. Kenny Omega’s look uses a different color scheme and silhouette than the Bucks, so the group doesn’t just read as three copies of the same costume.
Wrestling Legends Group
Might work, but the three eras don’t really talk to each other visually or in-story. Hogan’s red and yellow, the Undertaker’s black trench coat and gothic entrance, and the Bucks’ fringe are three completely different decades of wrestling with nothing connecting them except the sport itself. It reads as a costume theme, not a group that makes sense together.
AEW & WWE Mix
Strong if the person going as Seth Rollins actually commits, since his gear takes a lot more work to pull off convincingly than a leather jacket and fringe. The pairing works because both acts are built around maximum visual commitment from different wrestling promotions, so the joke lands even for people who only watch one or the other.
Wrestling & Luchador Contrast
Might work, but this one only lands with people who already find the mismatch funny on its own. Nacho Libre isn’t a wrestler in the same sense, he’s a comedy character in tight shorts and a cape, so pairing him with an actual tag team is a joke about tone rather than a costume that makes narrative sense.
The leather jacket and pants are the two purchases worth doing right. Everything else is craft store and thrift store territory.
Matt and Nick treat every entrance like it needs a countdown. Bring that energy instead of just standing around in the jacket.
Build the sleeveless leather jacket with black and yellow fringe, add the long blonde wig, black leather pants, and yellow duck tape on the wrists. Both Matt and Nick wear the exact same gear, so build it once and copy it for the second person.
Depends on the crowd. AEW has a dedicated fanbase and the Bucks are still active, high-profile wrestlers, so wrestling fans will get it instantly. Outside that audience it reads as a rock star costume with a lot of fringe, which still looks good on its own.
Their signature call is “Too Sweet!” shouted while throwing the hand sign, pinky and ring finger down, thumb across them, index and middle fingers up. Their other catchphrase is “Superkick Party,” announced before a run of rapid-fire kicks aimed at anyone nearby, opponents, referees, sometimes each other.
Matt and Nick Jackson, real surname Massie, are real-life brothers who wrestle as The Young Bucks. They co-founded All Elite Wrestling and became the company’s executive vice presidents in January 2019.
Yes. The jacket, fringe, and wig read as a specific look even solo. You lose the side by side visual of two identical outfits, but nothing about the costume depends on having a second person.
It copies how wrestlers actually tape their wrists before a match. Wrap it three or four layers thick over a leather bracelet. It’s the cheapest item on the list and does more specific work than most of the pricier pieces.
No. They add a nice detail, BTE or SUPERKICK spelled out on the jacket, but the jacket, fringe, and wig carry the recognition on their own. Skip the patches if ironing on individual letters sounds like a chore.
