5 Cute and Easy Halloween Costumes

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

Everyone loves Halloween because it’s the only holiday you are able to dress like whoever you want for a night.  Picking a theme and buying a costume gets expensive.  Here are 5 cute and easy costume ideas that wont break your budget. 

1) Country girl:
Being a country girl is an easy costume because many of us already own all the pieces.  With cut off jean shorts, a white tank, flannel shirt, and cowboy boots, you will be ready for the night.  Tip: add an american flag symbol to make it more American.

2) Biker:
If you are feeling a little more edgy the night of Halloween, you can never go wrong with being a biker.  With a red bandana, teased hair, denim vest, high waisted shorts, black boots, and a smokey eye, you will definitely have people want join your gang. 

3) Nerd:
Nerd is a common costume, but it never gets old. Who doesn’t want to carry a fanny pack and wear broken glasses? There are a lot of different ways you can dress like a nerd. Start off with two high pigtails and glassess and go from there. 

4) Hippie:
Dressing up as a hippie is fun for the girly girls.  You can wear as much jewlery you want and layer all of your colorful scarves you own.  A maxi skirt is perfect to keep you warm with the chilly weather. 

5) 80’s workout/neon:
High socks, bright sports bra, spandex, anything with color will work for this costume.  Have fun with it and don’t be afraid to be head to toe neon.

Goodwill or any type of thrift shop are perfect places to shop for these outfits.  The clothes are inexpensive and you can reuse them for other themed parties.
