1. Eleven from Stranger Things

This Netflix original has been all the rage for awhile now, and El makes for a super easy costume to pull off. Find a light pink collared dress then pair with a blue jacket, some white knee socks, a blond wig, a fake bloody nose and an empty Eggo waffle box.

2. Rory from Gilmore Girls

Show your excitement for Netflix’s Gilmore Girls revival with a simple DIY Rory costume! Start with a blue plaid skirt and a matching blue blazer or sweater vest. Throw on some tall socks and show off Rory’s studiousness with either a backpack or a couple of books. Since most of us don’t have a pair of saddle shoes laying around our dorms, wear a pair of black flats or even a pair of Converse.

3. Jess Day from New Girl

Ever wish you could pull of the zany style of Zooey Deschanel in New Girl? Halloween is the perfect time to try it! All you have to do is raid your closet (or your roommate’s!) for any statement pieces. Bright colors, bold patterns, cardigans, tights, skirts, dresses and belts work best. Then, combine all of them for an outfit as cutesy as something Jess would wear. Style your hair as big and messy as Jess’s. Don’t forget to wear a pair of her iconic black glasses!

4. Phoebe Buffay from Friends

Channel the quirkiest Friends character by making your own Phoebe costume! Almost every episode features this free spirit wearing floor-length clothing, so you’ll need your favorite maxi dress. Go crazy with any kind of zany accessories you can find such as jewelry, barrettes or even holiday bows! Then pull your hair up into a messy bun, use a giant clip or straighten it.

5. Alex Vause from Orange Is The New Black

Transform into this sexy vixen by wearing a tan t-shirt over a white longsleeve shirt, tan pants, black frames, and lots of temporary tattoos!

6. Leslie Knope from Parks & Recreation

Wear a power suit, heels, and a badge reading “Leslie Knope for City Council.” As Leslie would say, you’ll be a “beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk-ox!”

7. Pam Beesley from The Office

Is there anyone who doesn’t love The Office? Dress as Pam this holiday with a tan skirt, a button up shirt, a cardigan and some white canvas shoes. Crimp your hair and print out a Dunder Mifflin name tag to complete the look!

8. Kimmy Schmidt from The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Dress as the lovable, naive Kimmy Schmidt this Halloween! Wear a pair of colorful pants and as many other mismatched bright colors and patterns you can find in order to channel her child-like style. Add a backpack and some sneakers and you’re…unbreakable.

9. Victim from Dexter

If you’re looking for a costume that’s a little more scary, look no further than everyone’s favorite serial killer, Dexter. Become one of his many victims by wearing a neutral-colored strapless mini dress, then cover it with plastic wrap. Use fake blood and a pretend knife to create the illusion that you’ve been stabbed!
