Who else hates coming up with Halloween costumes? Well if you are in need of last minute ideas here’s a couple of easy ideas you might want to consider for Halloween this year!

Sports Fan Let’s start out with a really easy costume idea. Find an oversized jersey and shorts then put some tall soccer socks on and sneakers. Next, use some black eyeliner to make football lines underneath your eyes. Cheer on your favorite team during Halloween!

 

Nerd Another easy costume idea is to be a nerd by wearing some big frames and put a pencil in your hair and a bowtie on your shirt.

 

‘80s Bring back the 80’s this Halloween with some neon workout clothes and legwarmers.

 

Tourist If you have a Hawaiian shirt now’s the time to bring that out of your closet with some sandals and white socks.

Error 404 Page I’ve been seeing this idea on the Internet and each time I see it I laugh. Find a plain white t-shirt and write with a black marker “Error 404: Costume not found”.

 

Unicorn Wear some pastels and whites then use glitter makeup. Roll up paper and you got yourself a unicorn horn!

Risky Business Find a big white collared button down shirt with some knee high white socks.

 

A Minion Wear a pair of shorts, a yellow top, and suspenders. Then create the eyes by cutting paper cups and attaching them on a headband.

Audrey Hepburn I idolized Audrey Hepburn since I was a kid and Breakfast at Tiffany’s will always be a classic. To be her for Halloween, just buy a little black dress, some long gloves and lots and lots of pearls!

Flapper Similar to the previous idea, this costume also requires a little black dress. Accessorize the outfit with a feather headband, feather boa, and high heels.
