Are you in need of a Halloween costume but do not have any ideas? Well, here are 13 creative and easy ideas for October 31. Most of these ideas are simple to recreate using anything you already have at home or can find online.
The first idea and probably the most popular costume this year is Barbie. Since there are so many different variations and occupations of Barbie, it is easy to find something in your closet to dress up in. If you want to follow the trend but not dress up as Barbie, Raquelle is a character featured in the cartoon television series that you can easily transform into by finding a black and gold outfit. Another easily executed costume is one of The Incredibles. You could buy a full Incredibles one-piece costume from Party City or Spirit Halloween to wear. You have the ability to make this costume cute and comfortable or unique and fun.
The next three ideas are basic yet practical; pirates, prisoners and frat boys. To dress as a pirate, you can easily find any dress and throw a bandana over your head and a belt around your waist. For prisoners, a white tank and some orange pants will finish the look. Lastly, the frat boy outfit is the easiest of them all. Just borrow an oversized button down shirt from your dad, brother or friend and wear any baseball cap.
For the sixth idea, a go-go girl is a vibrant costume that can be achieved by buying a dress with a gogo pattern and adding some knee-length gogo boots. You can easily customize it with long sleeves and higher boots to stay warm on Halloween night.
The next three ideas are all for duos. The first being fire and ice. This costume is particularly easy because all that is needed for it is one red outfit and one blue outfit. The 8th idea is one of the most iconic duos, the angel and the devil. Complete the look by purchasing an angel halo, devil horns and a fake pitchfork. The 9th costume is a couple of cupids. A heart headband, red wings, and a prop bow and arrow would be great accessories for this adorable costume.
The next ideas are group costumes that you can do with up to five people. Number 10 is Winnie the Pooh and his friends. The characters in this would include Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and Roo. The simplest way to recreate these characters into a costume is by buying onesies of each character. The next group idea is the Scooby Doo squad: Scooby, Fred, Velma, Daphne, Scooby and Shaggy. Each of these characters can be remade by buying a purple dress for Daphne, a maroon skirt and orange shirt for Velma, a white polo and blue pants for Fred, a green v-neck and brown pants for Shaggy and last but not least, a Scooby onesie. Idea number 12 is “The Wizard of Oz”. The costumes can be found in stores or in your closet.
The thirteenth and final costume idea is a skier. This also can be done solo or with a group. For this, you can wear any puffer jacket, leggings, a ski mask and beanie. To really make your outfit pop, make it super colorful with vibrant colored items.
These 13 ideas are both fashionable and simple to try. Costumes such as those listed can be easily sourced and customized to your liking.
