You and your friend group can also be the Scooby-Doo Crew. There are plenty of options for everyone with Daphneâs purple mini dress and scarf, Velmaâs orange sweater and pleated skirt, Shaggyâs green tee and brown pants, or Fredâs ascot look.

Get jeans or a denim skirt, boots, sunglasses, and a white T-shirt, and write âNeed Money for Porscheâ for a niche Brad Pitt costume.
