Easy Halloween Costume Ideas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at KU chapter.

Halloween can be one of the most fun holidays because it allows us to be someone or something we really
want to be for at least one night a year. Although we’re all too old to go door-to-door tricking or treating anymore, we can still dress up and go to parties or bars with our friends. So, what are some popular costume ideas this year ranging from current pop culture to traditional ideas?

  • Katy Perry
  • Nicki Minaj
  • Lady Gaga
  • Marilyn Monroe
  • Honey Boo Boo and June
  • Snooki

Unfortunately, costumes can be expensive but there are ways to either pull a costume together from what you already own to making it yourself. So, what are some cheap and/or easy costume ideas?

  • Sandy from Greece (the hot version)
  • Flo from Progressive Insurance
  • Ugly Betty
  • Rosie the Riveter
  • Mary Poppins
  • Dorothy
