How to Put Together a Bruno Mars Costume from the video Lazy Song
Guys and girls can wear the Bruno Mars chimp costume - in fact, a whole group of friends could wear it, with one guys dressed as Bruno Mars.
It's hard for some guys to find a costume that is cool and doesn't make them feel lame. This is one I think will work perfectly. Plus, if you have a job where you may need to shed the costume, this is perfect. Lose the chimp mask and glasses, and you're just a guy in a plaid shirt.
Start with the Sunglasses
Blues Brothers Wayfarer Dark Black Sun Glasses - Black
Amazon Price: $1.70 (as of 05/30/2012)
Nothing fancy here. Just a cheap pair of black glasses like they wore in Blues Brothers.
You may want to bring an extra pair, in case you break them putting them over the mask, or in case you lose them at the bar (lol).
The Chimpanzees in The Lazy Song
The Chimp Mask
This is a great mask for the costume because of the over-exaggerated large ears, like they had in the video.
If you can't find this mask, any chimpanzee mask will do - but the bigger the ears, and the sillier the face, the better!
key around.
Amazon Price: $16.28 (as of 05/30/2012)
This is the one you want. Buy it now while you can.

Check your local department stores, and even check the local thrift shop for one if you don't want to pay much.
Pompadour Wigs
If you can't pull this look off with you're own hair, you'll have to go with a wig. These pompadour wigs are perhaps a big exaggerated, but it's all in the styling - and besides, you have to go a bit over-the-top to have people notice that you are Bruno Mars (and not a lumberjack).
