If you’re struggling to think of an idea, or are just worried about finding the perfect costume on a student budget then don’t worry. Sometimes the best Halloween costumes are the most creative and original ones, so follow our top tips to make sure you stand out this Halloween.
Follow your own style
Whether it’s fun, sexy, or scary you’re aiming for, don’t be afraid to pick a costume that you feel comfortable in.
Be practical
If your costume is for a night out, don’t wear something awkward that would make you too warm in a crowded club. Similarly if you’re planning on spending Halloween out trick or treating, don’t go for 6 inch heels – you’ll regret it!
Set yourself a budget, and stick to it
There are plenty of ways to get around the money problem. Look for Halloween sales where you can pick clothes up cheaply, and accessorise with bargain charity shop buys.
Be creative
Think outside the box. If you can come up with something really original, your costume will be a much bigger success.
Put a new spin on a classic costume
Don’t avoid the classic Halloween costumes; instead adapt them to your own style. You can also re-use old costumes by mixing and matching to make a new one, which is a really good way to get creative and save money.
Try a group or themed costume
If you’re still struggling for ideas, why not get together with some friends and go for a themed group costume!
