How To Not Be Basic On Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SCU chapter.

Halloween is right around the corner, and with it comes costume hunting. Unfortunately, costume planning is not as easy as it sounds. To help you avoid looking basic this Halloween, we put together a short list of overdone costumes:

Miley Cyrus

Sorry, Miley fans. This costume is so last year.  

Risky Business

Unless you don’t mind matching with most of campus, try a new costume this year. And who wants to walk around in just socks? Gross.

School Girls

No, just… no.

Bunnies

Let’s leave this one to Elle Woods.

Cats

An acceptable basic alternative: “I’m a mouse, duh!”

 

Halloween is the one day a year you get to dress up as anything or anyone you want (and get away with it) so why be basic? Be creative this year! …and PLEASE dress up as anything other than a cat.
