Superman is one of the most recognisable costumes you can wear, which makes it a safe pick for a party where you want to be spotted straight away. Here is how to build the look at any effort level.
The full Superman costume
For maximum impact, go for the padded muscle-chest jumpsuit with the cape and belt. It reads as the character from across the room and needs nothing else to work.

The easy version
Short on time or budget? A Superman logo t-shirt with a red cape over jeans gets the idea across instantly, and you can wear the shirt again afterwards.
