1
Survey the amount of hair on your chest. Hairy is ideal, though you may want to shave some off in an irresistibly phallic shape. If bare-chested, try penciling in chest hairs with eyeliner.
-
2
Enhance shagadelic power with a male symbol pendant on a silver chain.
-
3
Pull on tight briefs with a British flag emblazoned on the bottom.
-
4
Button up a white shirt with long, lacy sleeves.
-
5
Slip into velvet pants in either blue or red. Put on a matching blue or red velvet blazer.
-
6
Tie a cravat around your neck so that it hangs over your blazer.
-
7
Find fake, bad teeth to wear over your own. Put on black-rimmed glasses.
-
8
Inspect your hair: Brown, overgrown and mop-like is best. Curl it slightly with a curling iron and brush it down, allowing bangs to cover most of your forehead.
-
9
Consider purchasing a wig if your hair refuses to be coaxed into the Austin look.

Tips & Warnings
Smile and wink a lot.
Work into your vocabulary words like "randy," "groovy," "smashing" and "baby."
Concentrate on finding your next shag.
Convince your girlfriend to dress as Felicity Shagwell or a fembot (see Related eHows and Related Items). Keep asking her, "Do I make you horny, baby?"
If your local shops aren't groovy enough for your Austin Powers style, that's a drag, baby, but there's no reason to get uptight. There are plenty of shagadelic costumes and accessories right there under the Things You'll Need list, so just relax, order early and have a good time.
