Halloween is right around the corner! However, this holiday isn’t just about candy and haunted houses; it’s a chance to express your creativity and style through the perfect costume. Whether you’re going for something trendy, spooky, or totally out-of-the-box, the possibilities are endless. Don’t know what to wear this year? No need to panic, we have the perfect ideas for you. Whether you want to dress up as a pop icon or an animal, here is a list of 10 easy and cute costumes for this spooky season.
- Cat
The quintessential animal costume, and also super cute. Simply buy a pair of cat ears, and pair it with your favorite all-black outfit combo. If one of your friends is dressing up as a witch, you guys can pair up and bewitch everyone with your charm!
If you want to add some makeup, go for smoky cat eyes and draw some cute cat whiskers. Pair it with a nude lip and you’ve got the perfect look for the holiday.
- Matching duos
The more the merrier! Grab a friend and dress up as a fun duo for this halloween. You can go with the classic Cinderella and Prince Charming, or Mario and Luigi. Some other fun ideas would be dressing up as anime duos, or characters from inside out.
Have even more fun by creating your costumes with a friend, the sky’s the limit when all your options have been doubled!
- Food
Not only is food delicious, it can also serve as a fun halloween costume idea. If you’re going with a friend, dressing up as eggs and bacon would make you guys the best duo! Some other options would be french fries, ketchup, a hamburger, the best part about this is that you can make your own costume. So no matter what you wear, you’ll be one of a kind!
- Supernatural
Boo! Halloween is the time for all things scary and unnatural. Embrace that by dressing up as a witch, vampire, or a ghost. Wear dark colored dresses, and buy some accessories to add to the look. You could get vampire teeth, a witch hat, or use face paint.
If you don’t have a dress or a fancy costume, you can take your old t-shirt and splatter blood on it to create a modern zombie. Pair that with ripped jeans and you’re good to go!
- Culture Icons
Get in loser, we’re going shopping! With so many pop culture icons and it girls, it would be a shame not to pay them some tribute. Grab some old clothing from your parents closet and embrace the y2k!
Some examples of costumes could be, Regina George from Mean girls, Blair Waldorf from Gossip girls, and the 50s movie superstar Marilyn Monroe.
- Matching groups
It’s always more fun in a group! Whether you want to dress up as Minions or Men in black, you’re bound to have a blast with your friends. If you want to be a trio, then being Charlie’s angels would be perfect for you.
- Back in time
Rewind time with your costume! For example, you can create the perfect cowboy/cowgirl costume by pairing a cowboy hat with jeans and a vintage blouse as a top. With some brown worn-out boots, you’ll be from the wild west in no time.
Or, you can wear a traditional cultural outfit to show off your heritage! Halloween is the best time to embrace your history and take pride in it.
- Celebrities
Have you ever been told that you have a celebrity look-a-like, well now is the perfect time to test that out! Want to look like Billie Eliish? Wear an all-neon outfit that you can pair with a green wig. Want something more laid back? Harry Styles’s iconic “Watermelon Sugar” outfit is perfect to revisit beachy summer days.
- Clown
Embrace the horror! Dress up to scare all your friends and cause some trouble. If you’re willing to go all out, then you can dress up as Pennywise. With a scary clown mask, and old clothing that can be drenched in fake blood, anyone who sees you will be sure to run away.
If you want to go really dark, you can dress up as serial killers from iconic slasher movies. With a fake knife and clothing drenched with (fake) blood of your enemies, you’ll be ready to face anything.
- Superhero
Become batman and protect your city in the night, or even pay tribute to Iron Man’s sacrifice by keeping his memory alive. With so many amazing superheroes who people look up to, the choices are endless!
As the spooky season approaches, finding the perfect Halloween costume can be just as fun as the festivities themselves. Whether you’re going for something trendy, classic, or completely out of the box, the key is to express yourself and enjoy the process. Happy haunting!
