5 Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

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

With Halloween approaching, here are some sporadically refreshing costume ideas for the upcoming holiday:

1.      A Box of Nerds

For this costume, all you need is some cardboard, colorful construction paper, markers, and a string to hang your box of nerds around your neck. Make sure to assemble the “box” any way you want. Be creative! Don’t worry about what to wear underneath. Just simply wear all black or any casual clothing because the main focus will be the Nerds.

2.      Morton Salt Girl

Morton Salt is a common household item, and many people can identify the girl on the label. Her mustard yellow dress never fails to catch the eye. For a costume like this, a simple dress with flats and an umbrella would be perfect! To finish the look, you can carry around an empty can of Morton Salt.

3.      Rosie the Riveter

 

Rosie to the Rescue! Just grab your jean shirt with a pair of pants; any shoe would do. To complete the outfit, tie a red bandana around your hair, and apply some bright red lipstick.

4.      Agent Peggy Carter

For any Agent Carter fans, a simple Peggy Carter outfit could be the right fix for a last minute costume. If you happen to have a red/maroon colored fedora lying around, all you need to complete the outfit is a white blouse with a blue/navy blue skirt and blazer. To top it off, you could either wear black flats or heels, but either way you will look fierce. To complete Agent Carter’s signature look, don’t forget some red lipstick!

5.      Minnie Mouse

If you have Minnie Mouse ears or love Disney in general, Minnie Mouse is the right costume for you. You can mix and match with this outfit, but the basic items you need are mouse ears, a black/red shirt, and a black/red skirt or shorts. You can potentially wear any form of footwear, but some suggestions are black, red, or yellow flats to make it easier for you to walk around in your fabulous costume!
