We know what you’re expecting. You want us to tell you that “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.”

But we think a die-hard Forrest Gump fan wouldn’t appreciate the obvious move here. You don’t want us to tell you that you should “run, Forrest” toward this iconic cinematic costume. You don’t want to hear how “stupid is as stupid does,” and stupid is not getting yourself this Forrest Gump Suit for your next movie-themed party or costumed gala. So, Gump fan extraordinaire, what is it about the film that you love, beyond what just anyone can see? No need to debate it too long in your mind, just go with your gut instinct; that is, after all, what Forrest Gump always does.

The beauty of a movie like Forrest Gump is just how unexpected it is; everyone gets something different out of it--but you already knew that, didn’t you? So grab a big old box of chocolates, suit up, and take to a park bench or bus stop to spread your love of this classic film. This ensemble includes Forrest’s signature gray suit and blue checkered shirt. Practice your best Forrest “drawl” and study up on some of the movie’s lesser known lines (as well as some of the real heart-melters, like “I’m not a smart man...but I know what love is.”) to really get the most out of every moment. Ping pong skills and Medal of Honor not included.
