We all know the type: the people that run around three days before Halloween trying to find a costume, frantically asking you if you still have those old angel wings from last year or that cute dress from formal that would look perfect with some cat ears. If you’re saying “that’s totally me” (guilty as charged) or just want to get a feel for a day in the life of us non-planners, pick your favorite candy below to see which last-minute costume you should wear!

Skittles

A frat boy! You love being the life of the party and have tons of friends. Get this quick costume done with a button-down shirt, pastel shorts, Sperry’s and sunglasses.

Hershey’s Bar

Tina Belcher! Sometimes you’re quiet and don’t know what to say but you’re a total sweetheart and everyone loves you. All you need is a blue shirt, a barrette, a black skirt and sneakers to pull off this last-minute look!

Snickers

Risky Business! You’re extremely adventurous and funny, always looking for a thrill. Put this together with an oversized button-up shirt, sunglasses and knee-high socks.

Starbursts

An 80’s aerobic instructor! You’re super confident and fun, love bright colors, and are always down to party. Get this easy look with big hair, bright clothes and some colorful makeup.

M&M’s

Rosie the Riveter! You’re all-American and love the classics. All you need here is a blue shirt, red headband or bandana and red lipstick.

Kit Kat

Netflix and Chill! You love being around people and always have at least one bestie you just can’t live without. Grab your other half for this two-part costume: one red shirt with the Netflix logo and another shirt that says “chill.”

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

A Next-Gen Climate Rep (remember the people harassing us in front of the Cathedral about voting?)! You love getting involved in the community and are very vocal about your opinions. You can get this look with an orange T-shirt, a clipboard, and a loud voice yelling “are you registered to vote?” while blocking anyone from walking by.

Candy Corn

A black cat! People love you or hate you, but nobody can deny that you’re a classic. Throw this together with all black-clothes (leggings welcome!) and some cat ears (an easy find at the drugstore).

Hi! I'm a senior at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in communication and nonfiction writing. This is my third year at Her Campus Pitt and my second year as the entertainment category editor! I'm also a chapter advisor this semester! I'm a pizza-loving cat mom with a chronic habit of napping from the Boston area. I enjoy spending time binge-watching netflix, snuggling, reading, writing, cooking, and hanging out with my friends. I'm looking forward to becoming increasingly involved with everything Her Campus over the remainder of the college career! Thanks for reading my articles and always feel free to contact me with feedback :)
