Maverick Halloween Costume

Our youngest LOVES Top Gun and wanted to be Maverick for Halloween. Here’s our Maverick Halloween Costume.

I think our son, Conor, was born in the wrong decade. He LOVES Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Top Gun, Goonies – pretty much all the 80s classics. He’s so excited that they’re making a sequel to Top Gun.

Anyway, you guys all know how much we love Halloween around here. I shared a few images from when the kids were little and a few Halloween free printables here.

Conor usually loves everything military. Last year he was an army soldier. You can find that costume here. This year he wanted to carry on the military theme. I think my dad would have loved this costume as his dad taught at the Air Force Academy and my dad dreamed of being a pilot himself (a hearing issue kept him from passing the physical).

What I love about this costume is it’s pretty easy, you probably already have most of the elements.

Maverick Halloween Costume

You’ll need:

Jeans | White T Shirt | Aviator Sunglasses | Dog Tags | Pilot Jacket (similar)

My mom gave Conor the bomber jacket last year for Christmas. The dog tags we found at Spirit Halloween.

Other things you may consider:

Top Gun Hat | Flight Suit | Patches

Conor’s hair is really curly so we wet it and combed it for extra hold I might add some gel on Halloween.

That’s it! Such an easy costume. Conor is so excited to be Maverick this Halloween. I’ll be sharing John’s costume tomorrow which is a little more on the scary side and involves liquid latex.

What are you dressing up for for Halloween? Oh, you may want to see what Luke and I dressed up as over the weekend here.
