Make Your Goatee a Costume
Start with the facial hair, then add the hat, the jacket or the prop that turns it into a character.
Luke HobbsShaved head and a short goatee
Guy FieriSpiky bleached hair and a chin piece
Colonel SandersWhite goatee, glasses and a white two-piecePirate and Fantasy Chin Beards
Pirate captain chin piece: a braided goatee with a few beads reads as a sea captain the moment the hat goes on, and the rest of the outfit can stay loose and worn. Keep the hair dark and the beads small, because oversized beads photograph as costume jewellery rather than as facial hair.
Jack Sparrow wears his in two braids under a tricorn hat with a linen shirt and a long coat, which is why the look works with almost any dark trousers. Dreadlock wigs, sash belts and toy compasses fill out the same silhouette, and the pointed shapes work for the wizard and sorcerer looks on this page just as well.
Comic Heroes, Villains and Detectives
Comic-book chin piece: a neat squared goatee signals the billionaire inventor, the surgeon turned sorcerer or the vampire hunter with no other makeup at all, so the shape carries more weight than the length does.
Tony Stark trims his close and pairs it with a glowing chest piece and a red and gold suit, Doctor Strange keeps a pointed version above a blue tunic and a cloak, and Blade finishes his with dark glasses and a leather jacket. Jafar takes the same shape the other way, a long curled chin piece above a black robe and a cobra staff, so a villain works just as well as a hero here.
Cooks, Comedians and Screen Characters
Celebrity chin piece: a bleached-haired cook or a fast-food founder is the quickest version of this costume, because the facial hair carries the recognition and the rest of the clothes are ordinary everyday pieces you already own.
Guy Fieri puts his under a spiky bleached wig with a bowling shirt, Colonel Sanders wears a white goatee with a string tie and a white two-piece, and Salt Bae adds dark glasses and a tight white tee. Terry Jeffords keeps his neat above a lilac shirt and a police badge, and Tyrone Biggums covers his with a red beanie and a hoodie.
Buying and Wearing the Facial Hair
Order the facial hair early, because a lace-backed piece sits through a whole night and a cheap one lifts at the corners within the hour. Trim it to your own jawline with small scissors instead of pulling it about, and match the colour to your own hair before you commit.
Walter "Heisenberg" White wears his under a porkpie hat with dark glasses and a black jacket, Luke Hobbs keeps a shaved head and a short goatee over a tight black tee, and Alexander Hamilton adds a powdered version above a waistcoat. Daryl Dixon and Klaus Hargreeves both make the same point: the chin piece does the character work while the coat does the rest.
Goatee Costume FAQ
What is the easiest goatee costume?
A pirate captain. A braided chin piece, a tricorn hat and a loose shirt cover it, and you can wear your own dark trousers underneath.
Can I wear my own facial hair?
Yes, if it is already close to the right shape. Most costume pieces are trimmed to sit over your own, so grow it out first and add the piece only when your own will not get there in time.
Which goatee works for a group costume?
A comic-book set. A neat squared chin piece over a dark outfit dresses three or four people at once, and each person adds the coat, the prop or the hat that marks their own character.
Where should I buy the facial hair?
Party shops carry the basic pieces, and the licensed sets are worth ordering early because they sell out before Halloween. Check the colour against your own hair before you commit.
Do I need to shave?
No. Keep your own facial hair if it is close to the character and build the piece around it, and only shave where a clean chin is part of the look.
Choose Your Goatee Costume
Choose the facial hair that matches the character, then keep the outfit simple and let the chin piece do the work. A braided version covers the sea captain and the wizard looks, a neat squared shape covers the inventors and the vampire hunters, and an everyday short piece covers the cooks, the comedians and the comedy leads. Most of this page comes down to two or three pieces, so pick the shape, settle the colour, and then shop for the hat or the coat around it.
