Deciding on a Halloween costume can be one of the most stressful yet important decisions you’ll make during October (minus midterms of course). However, when choosing a costume it is vital that what you wear won’t break the bank or take too much time to assemble. Here are some easy costume ideas for the lazy college girl.

What You’ll Need:

While constructing the picture perfect alien, you’ll have a lot of freedom to decide the minor details for yourself! You can use the glitter to accent your eyes and even add it to your lipstick!
Boxer:

Achieving this look is simple, so you can look completely bada** with little stress. You and your bff can go as a unstoppable duo!
What You’ll Need:
- A robe

If you don’t feel comfortable wearing just a sports bra and spandex, you can swap them out for shorts and a t-shirt. We promise you will still knock-out the rest!
Zombie:
A zombie costume is a great way for bonding with friends because you can all make them together and go as a group of zombies. With this costume you’ll be able to have fun in destroying an oversized t-shirt and adding some food coloring to it!
What You’ll Need:
- Oversized white t-shirt
- Black tights
- Red Food Coloring
- Dark Eye Shadow
This costume requires a few extra steps to make compared to the other costumes. First you will need to customize your “blood stained” shirt. You’ll need to cut up your shirt with scissors to give the impression that your shirt has been shredded by the rough life of being undead. Then, you will need to use the red food coloring to splatter onto the white, now tattered shirt. Next, you will take your black tights and make small tears into them and pull the material to make holes. As a finishing touch, you get to customize a smokey eye that will truly give you that undead vibe you need!
