5 Costumes You’ll See Everywhere This Halloween

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

Halloween is such a fun tradition that could celebrated in numerous ways. Whether you like decorating your home to look spooky or go to your yearly halloween parties, it’s a lot of fun. One of the biggest traditions of halloween besides the candy and the pumpkin spice lattes and the scary movies is the actual costume-wearing itself. Deciding what you want to be for Halloween is difficult. You want to be something that’s creative or funny or clever, but you don’t want to be the person who has the same costume as 1,000 other people at a party. You want to stand out. So instead of trying to figure what original costume you should, you have to step back and figure out what you shouldn’t be if you don’t want the same costume as everyone else. To avoid repetition, here are 5  costumes that you’ll want to avoid wearing, since you’ll be seeing them everywhere this Halloween. 

 

The 5 costumes you’ll see all guys wear:

 

#1: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

Fans of themor not, this will definitely be seen everywhere as a mockery of the two running for President. And why wouldn’t it be popular? In a year where politics and media has been at its most dubious and insane, they have definitley topped the list in grabbing everyone’s attention, mostly for all the wrong reasons. So it’s pretty easy to see this costume at multiple parties this year. 

 

#2: Deadpool

Deadpool was nearly everyone’s breakout movie character of 2016. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. Not to mention that a foul-mouthed anti-hero who breaks the fourth wall, makes a joke every 3 seconds, and kills like a madman is the biggest appeal to any teenage boy in America. So it’s only fitting that they want to dress up as their favorite “hero.” 

 

# 3: Anything Morph suit related

Another popular costume every year at every party and on every campus. You have the morph suit people. It’s popular for one huge reason in that you can’t tell who is in the suit. It adds intrigue and makes it funnier to not know but guess who could be doing weird crap in a one piece suit. Expect to see a good number of these if you go out to parties this year.

 

# 4: The Joker and Harley Quinn

Suicide Squad’s marketing is perhaps one of the biggest successes of the year, especially peaking people’s interests in the most insane couple in comic history. Their retro and bizarre look is an attention grabber from Harley’s “Daddy’s Lil’ Monster” shirt to Joker’s purple coat, it’s almost a guarantee you’ll be seeing couples everywhere wearing these outfits. It’s almost unavoidable. 

 

#5: Anything Star Wars

Star Wars made its historic comeback last Christmas and that space nostalgia has carried on over to the Halloween season. Expect everyone to be either Rey, BB-8, Chewbacca, Kylo-Ren, and others this year.
