This year marks the 50th anniversary of when Mister Rogers' Neighborhood first aired, and over the past few months, fans everywhere have celebrated the incredible influence of Fred Rogers and his cherished children's show. Between the special Mister Rogers stamp [1], the emotional reactions to Won't You Be My Neighbor? [2], and all the buzz about Tom Hanks playing him [3] in 2019's You Are My Friend [4], there's been a massive outpouring of love for Mister Rogers. As people continue to honor his special legacy, something tells us the many tributes will continue to pop up — particularly on Oct. 31. If you adore Mister Rogers and hope to channel him for Halloween [5] this year, take a look at some sweet pictures of Fred Rogers plus some shoppable pieces for costume inspiration.
To dress as Mister Rogers, you'll need a button-down shirt, a patterned tie, sneakers, and — of course — a classic red cardigan.
Hoping to take your costume to the next level? Carry a king puppet as a nod to King Friday.
You could also buy a red trolley toy — and don't forget to be the friendliest person around.
