Five Costumes To Avoid This Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Miami (OH) chapter.

Less than 24 hours until Halloween, many of you probably already have your Halloween costume picked out, and a lot of you have probably already worn your costume this year! However, for those of you who are still scrambling for a last minute costume, here are a few costumes HC Miami does NOT approve, so make sure to avoid them:

Minions: Now I know you all cannot get enough of these little yellow guys who speak utter gibberish (neither can I by the way) but stand forewarned…this costume is flying off the shelves in almost every costume store around the States.

Great Gatsby: Daisy Buchanan is this years’ perfect example for the timely Flapper Girl costume. Pair a fringy dress with pearls, a headband, and gold jewelry and you’ve got yourself a great outfit. But watch out for all the other Daisy look a-likes out there this year!

 

Miley Cyrus: You can guarantee you haven’t seen the worst of Miley yet. Just wait for these costumes! Miley before and after…and “twerk it” foam fingers….and even this nude ensemble paired with Robin Thicke as her arm candy. Even if you’re a Miley fan, you have to agree this isn’t her most flattering look, and may actually be the scariest costume out there this year!

Duck Dynasty: Our beloved Louisiana family is far from the backwoods this Halloween. Looks like they will be making appearances around the U.S. this year at every major Halloween party.

 

 

 

Breaking Bad: Oh yes you can believe it. Meth and all.

If you’re now sitting at your computer in dispair because you picked one of these five costumes for tomorrow, don’t panic. If it’s too late to switch up your costume or think of a new one, just do your best to make your costume unique so you aren’t passing a dozen VMA-Mileys at your Halloween party.

Instead of going as Daisy Buchanan, why not just go as general Flapper Girl, picking out your OWN style of dress, jewelry and hair pieces? Instead of going as a minion, buy some purple body paint, put your hair up in some messy pigtails and go as one of the evil minions from the second movie!

Make your costume your own in some way, and remember to have a fabulous Halloween!
