Lacking in Halloween costume ideas and want to impress your Irish friends?

Well look no further than IrishCentral’s Irish Halloween costume guide!

We’ve come up with 10 ideas for those of you who want to express your Irish spirit without resorting to a “slutty leprechaun” or “leprechaun pimp” costume.

Trust us – show up to your local Irish pub in one of these getups, and the Guinness drinkers will be more than impressed.

1. Bono

An obvious go-to Irish costume is Ireland’s biggest rock star – Bono. An original getup? Maybe not. But Irish people love to have a go at the over-the-top U2 frontman.

There’s flexibility with this one: your hair can be long or short, and your wraparound transparent space-like glasses can be orange or blue. Plus, you can opt for the cowboy hat or non-cowboy hat look. Just be sure to sport all black (preferably leather) and tote a mic – and an armful of faux-Grammys.

If these seems like too much time and effort for you, you can always go with the more low-key look of The Edge. Grab a guitar, slap on a beanie, skip shaving for a few days and you’re good to go!

2. Shane MacGowan

Another big Irish personality you can emulate is Pogues’ frontman Shane MacGowan.

If you’re already a toothless, heavy-drinking Irishman, this look won’t be too hard to achieve.

If not, a few simple steps will get you on the way of transforming into the wild punk legend.

First, skip the showering for a few days. It’s especially important not to wash your hair.
