Halloween is soon approaching and you’ve realized, yet again you did not get a costume. Buying a costume is too much money and making one takes too much time, though honestly this is just an excuse to not dress up. If you have ever thought about buying a shirt that says “this is my Halloween costume”, telling people you forgot it was Halloween, or hiding from people who will judge you for not dressing up here are some Halloween costumes thought up by Underachievers for Underachievers like you.

1. Rachel Green

Spent the entire October watching all 236 episodes of Friends on Netflix? No problem, just throw on overalls and a tee and you’re Rachel Green for the night.

2. Lumberjack

Class in the morning but costume party at night? Just pair a flannel with a beanie and jeans and tie a pony tail around your chin. Happy Lumbering!

*Bonus costume* If you’re really tall you can be Paul Bunyan

3. Cowgirl

Another use for that flannel… pair it with a skater skirt (or jeans) and boots for a total cowboy feel.

*Extra points for adding a cowboy hat*

4. Nudist on Strike

It’s 5 minutes before the Uber arrives to take you to the Halloween party that you totally don’t have a costume for, grab a pen and a piece of paper, keep on whatever you’re wearing.

5. Ballerina

Tutus were all the rage a few years ago; dig them out of the closet and pair it with a tee to become a ballerina. Add a tiara and be Glinda, The Good Witch of the South or throw on some heels and rock the Sex and the City vibe.

6. 80’s Chick

Cyndi Lauper was right when she said, Girls just wanna have fun! Tease your hair and pair the look with a jean jacket to appear like you’re right out of an 80’s music video. Big earrings and denim on denim are a must.

7. Sleep Walker

According to Mean Girls, “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”  With that reasoning, you may dress like a total scrub on halloween and no one can say anything about it. You’ll be the most comfy partier and you will even be ready for a Netflix binge of your favorite Halloween movies later that night.

8. Marathon Runner

Reality: Runs 1/2 miles, collapses. Owns 13 athletics outfits, goes to the gym once a month.

But Halloween is the one night to be anything you want to be, right? So dust off those sneakers, write your favorite number on a piece of paper and be a marathon runner!

9. Greaser

Channel your inner Danny Zuko with this totally cool look. Grab a leather jacket, some shades, and slick your hair back with half a bottle of gel. Be prepared to be a total babe magnet in this James Dean inspired look.
