Run, everyone, run! Run and dress up as Forrest Gump. An easy suit, button down shirt, and rubber shoes are all you need… And a box of chocolates. Because life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.

Dress up as Forrest Gump

To dress up as one of the most beloved and memorable characters, all you need are a few practical pieces!

	Blue Checkered Button Down The first thing you need is a button down shirt with a blue and white checkered print. This one is a good match, and looks like a cool, laidback piece to add to your wardrobe
	Beige / Khaki Blazer Match the button down with a khaki / beige colored suit and pants.
	Nike Cortez NM QS Shoes Now for the interesting part: rubber shoes. It’s not exactly the shoe of choice for a suit, but it’s an important part of the movie. The actual pair Tom Hanks wears in the movie has a blue line on the bottom, but this is quite accurate as it is and has gotten a lot of positive reviews.
	Forrest Gump – Bubba Gump Cap When Forrest starts running, he is seen sporting a red Bubba Gump cap. Any Forrest Gump movie fan will definitely want to get his/her hands on this one!
	Athletic Socks with Red Lines He wears a pair of socks with red lines
	White Box Now for that extra prop: bring a box of chocolates. All you need is an empty white box like this one.
	Yellow Gold Ribbon Then, tie a yellow ribbon round the box. Voila! My momma always said, “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
