Every year—coinciding with the rise of candy corn on shelves and a slight drop in temperature—people start thinking up ideas for an iconic Halloween costume. For collegiettes, this can especially be a struggle. You want to be creative, but still look good. You want something recognizable, but not too overdone. When you do find that perfect outfit for October 31st, it’s like taking a sip of your first PSL of the season.
Some people have Halloween down packed, and every year they walk into a party and show the whole crowd up by pulling off the best costume they can think of. Some are so talented at the craft that they get their pets in on it too, and these furry friends undoubtedly win the Best Dressed prize each and every time.
If you’re all out of fresh costumes ideas, take some pointers from these festive pups—they certainly know how to pull off a great Halloween look!
