While cosplay and costumes are free for creativity and you should feel comfortable dressing as whatever you please, here’s a list of the best plus-size costumes for men. We know you’ll find one that you’ll love.
So the thing about Dennis is, he’s not the biggest fan of his job. He’s excellent at what he does, but he also happens to be somewhat lazy and a bit selfish and that’s where the problems come in. This plus-size programmer has different ideas in mind for the park, but he learns that maybe he should have stuck to just doing his job when the dinosaurs begin to escape.
Get ready to run away from dinosaurs with this Dennis Nedry costume! The things you’ll need for a look worthy of a Jurassic Park is half frame wayfarers, a large yellow raincoat, a Grey Members Only racer jacket, a blue polo shirt, classic fit pleated pants, a Jurassic Park Ranger logo velcro patch, Dennis Nedry Jurassic Park Fake ID and a fake can of Barbasol Shaving Cream.
Uncle Fester has a look that’s somewhat unique but also a bit gloomy. Completely hairless, on the heavy side and complete with sunken eyes and an evil smile, it’s easy to see why people may fear him.

You’ll need a white bald cap, an Uncle Fester costume, light grey face paint, pale green face paint, a magnetic control trick light bulb to help you do the cool electricity tricks and an Uncle Fester makeup look to get his look down perfectly.

E. Honda made it his mission as a child to be the very best sumo wrestler. He began training at an early age and thanks to it; he’s one of the original eight fighters.

Eugene happens to be a bit awkward at times and at the beginning of the apocalypse in The Walking Dead, he wasn’t too good at protecting himself. He was so bad in fact that he lied about being a scientist just to find a group and have people defend him. As the seasons went on, he learned how to actually give back to his group and be useful.
