How to Get the Look
Captain Jack Sparrow – To complete this look, all you really need is a $5 pirate hat, wig and swash buckling sword that you can buy from any Walmart, Kmart or Target. Next you will need to invest in a white shirt, brown jacket, pants and boots. To complete the look you should print a picture of Captain Jack Sparrow from the internet and have your wife, girlfriend or significant other do the eye make up on you, to help you complete the authentic Captain Jack look.
Iron Man – This costume will probably be the easiest complete. All that you really need is the Iron Man mask, which you can buy almost anywhere these days, some red tights, and a red shirt. To add a little authenticity to the outfit you should be able to fine an Iron Man tee shirt at your local stores, this will enable you to have a real Iron Man look without having to spend a lot of money.
