Superman Clark Kent Halloween Costume: Accessories
The number one, must have accessory for your Clark Kent costume is a pair of glasses. If you don't already wear glasses, pick up a pair at your local thrift store, dollar store, or WalMart and pop the lenses out of them. You will also need a pair of nice dress shoes to go along with your suit. A great optional accessory to pull off the look of Clark Kent is a fedora hat that is grey or matches your suit. Other optional accessories include a tie, a briefcase, a notepad and pencil in your jacket pocket, and/or a copy of a newspaper since Clark Kent was a reporter for the Daily Planet.
