Halloween is fast approaching, and with it comes the last minute costume panic! With the COVID-19 pandemic dragging on (oof), this holiday is going to look very different for those in their teens and early twenties this year. However, it’s still important to celebrate this tradition with our friends and family in a safe way during these *unprecedented times*. Unfortunately, certain Halloween costumes on the market promote bigotry, hate, and ignorance. But not to worry— these costumes are cute, unproblematic, and definitely ‘Gram worthy. Please social distance, wear a mask, and be safe!
- A Ghost
-
Not only are ghosts a trend right now, but they are easy to make and match with pets/friends! It also covers anything in case of a bad face day (you are all stunning, but I know the feeling.)
- Patrick Star
-
Hi sisters! Oops, wrong Star. I am so sorry for your eyes. Patrick is a beloved cartoon character with a look that is easy and CHEAP (I know my college students are broke) to recreate. A pink top of any style paired with Patrick’s signature swim trunks and you are set!
- A Shark
-
You can show your cultural savvy through this subtle Baby Shark reference AND you can flex your (and your pet’s!) knowledge of endangered marine species with this costume. #advocacy
- A Mouse
-
Duh.
- A Witch
-
A Halloween classic! The costume can be made as revealing or scary as desired at many different price points. Some people do identify as witches, wiccans, etc., but the stereotypical Halloween witch outfit represents good marketing, not oppression. So, you’re good!
- Bread
-
College students have less than no bread, but dressing must help manifest your future, right? You will get there someday. Just not right now :)
- Annoying Orange
-
This internet sensation is another classic, although the origional is too old to be relevant. The knockoff is subpar and isn’t funny, but nevertheless makes a scary/terrifying addition to anyone’s Halloween.
I hope this gave you some insight into some hilarious, cute, spooky costumes for this Halloween season! Stay spooky friends.
