Happy October! The members of Her Campus Bryant have been planning our costumes for Halloweekend since October 1st. Here are 10 costumes to avoid so you can stand out this year.

1. Risky Business

Risky Business is simple but effective. However, we see this costume every year, it’s an oldie but a goodie — try to avoid it.

2. Frat Boy

The frat boy is a classic, however, it’s even more common than risky business. Leave the Vineyard Vines and Sperry’s at home, friends.

3. Sexy Kitty

What’s more basic than the sexy kitty costume?! All you need is black clothing, ears, and some face-paint.

4. Cop

Going as a police officer for Halloween screams basic and you’ll be sure to find someone who is dressed exactly like you.

5. Devil

The devil costume is so outdated, we can do so much more than a red dress and horns.

6. The Purge

Last year, the purge was all the hype over Instagram.

7. Nurse

You’ll be sure to see at least 10 “nurses” on Halloween weekend.

8. Cowgirl

*Insert your favorite Luke Bryan song here*

9. Franzia boxed wine

All you need for this costume is an empty box of your favorite wine and viola, you’re done!

10. Vampire

All you need is some dark clothes and a vampy makeup look. Leave this one in your dorm room this year, loves.
