Are you a party animal? Do you like being at the center of attention? Got a jones for whiskey, straight from the bottle? If so, then we have the costume for you: Bluto's iconic College getup from Animal House.
Obviously, the most crucial component of this outfit is our College sweatshirt. It's a distinguished-looking garment that fans of the movie will recognize immediately.
Get the shirt here
Pair the sweatshirt with a collared plaid button-up. If you don't have such a shirt, hit up your local thrift store. And remember: don't tuck it in. The operative term here is disheveled.

You'll also need to score some baggy plaid shorts. Bluto's are a blue-green combo, but you can freelance if necessary.

The most important accessory for this costume is a bottle of Jack Daniels (or some other beverage of choice), which I trust you can purchase - if you're 21, of course - at your local liquor store.

To compliment this look, you'll want a pair of low-fi kicks, such as Chuck Taylors. (Conversely, you could opt for some roman-styled sandals, a nod, perhaps to the movie's infamous Toga! refrain.)

Finish this look with an afro whig trimmed back to give it a messy, unkempt appearance, just like Bluto himself!
We found ours here.
