Hi friends,

Celebrating the 100th day of school is always so fun!
From creating cool poster board, to designing a shirt, to dressing up as a 100 year old person – it’s sure to be a fun milestone day!
Dressing up as an old man is way easier than you probably think. Chances are you already have everything you need for a perfect costume!
This post is all about everything you need to create an easy 100th day of school old man costume!
100th Day of School Old Man Outfit Ideas
Dressing as a 100 year old man isn’t as hard as you may have imagined.
You more than likely already have all the items you need to create the perfect old man costume right in your little ones closet!
Here are a few ideas of things you can throw together..
1. A sweater
Since the 100th day of school lands sometime in January or February, the weather makes this an easy choice that not looks the part but is also very practical!
2. A button down shirt
Where’s that nice button down shirt your kiddo wore for picture day? Go grab it from the closet because it makes the perfect top for an old man costume!
3. Add a Sweater Vest
Okay, you may or may not have this one already on hand in your sons dresser but if you do, its a great addition to layer up the button down shirt with!
4. Layer with a Suit Jacket
Get fancy with it by adding a suit jacket for a polished, wise old man look!
5. Hike up the pants a bit
As for pants, any will do but remember to hike em up a bit. No old man would ever be caught wearing low, saggy pants! lol
Old Man Hair Ideas for the 100th Day of School
There are two main choices when it comes to what to do with the hair! Luckily it’s not hard to nail the perfect 100 year old man hairstyle.
The two easiest options for hair are to either..
1. Use Temporary Silver Hair Dye
Go for a simple, clean and polished hairstyle. Simply combing down your hair off to the side is an easy idea!
You can go the extra mile by using temporary gray hairspray to really nail the look!
2. Wear an Old Man Hat
Instead of worrying about a hairstyle, consider grabbing a hat like a boys flat cap to go for a dapper old man look in no time at all!
3. Put on a Fake Mustache
Okay so we’ve covered the hair on your head but what facial hair, you ask?
If you’re really good with makeup you can probably create a stubble bread look but if you’re not, consider just ordering an old man fake mustache set from Amazon!
Old Man Costume Accessories for the 100th Day of School
Alright, you’re starting to look old.
Let’s add a few items so people know you’re not just old, you’re 100 days.. erm, or years.. old!
Once again, chances are you have one or a few of these items laying around the house.
But if you find yourself stuck, you can always hit up Amazon and find entire old man costume sets that come with everything you need delivered right to your door!
1. Bring a Cane
See if grandma or grandpa will let you borrow one of their old canes for a day!
You can also go to your local Goodwill and find tons of old canes for super cheap!
2. Put on Glasses
What’s that say?! Oh, yes, of course – glasses!
Don’t forget to grab you a pair of reading glasses to make sure your old man eyes can still see the teachers board during class!
3. Wear Suspenders
What can I say? Suspenders are a classic old man style to keep those pants from sagging!
4. Add a tie or a bow
Whats an old man if not always well dressed?!
Clean up your look with a dapper bow or one of dads old ties!
5. Use a Walker
Make sure your 100 year old man legs can make it to class with the help of a walker!
I’ve seen tons of DIY walkers people put together with PVC pipes but if you’re not the crafty type, again, Goodwill is a great place to look!
Kids’ Old Man Costume Makeup
You can’t look 100 years old without some wrinkles.. or a lot of wrinkles!
Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a makeup artist to create an old man makeup look! It’s super easy!
Grab a deep brown eyeliner pencil or you can even use a small eyeshadow brush with brown eyeshadow.
Draw lines in the following areas to create a wrinkled look:
- Corner of eyes
- Forehead
- Frown lines
- Between the eyebrows
Make sure you blend them so they look less drawn on and more realistic!
Here’s a fun tutorial on YouTube if you’re more of a visual learner!
Congrats, you look ancient! Love it!
Here’s to an awesome 100th day of school and beyond!
