Bulky sweater and flannel lovers, rejoice! It’s time to break out your fashion boots and cardigans because fall is finally here and it has been long-awaited. The leaves are starting to change and the air is becoming crisp which means…Halloween is right around the corner! Between midterms, campus jobs, and internships, you may find it difficult to find time to choose (or even make) a creative Halloween costume this year at an affordable price. Luckily for you, below I’ve listed some of the quickest and easiest costumes that will be sure to make you stand out.

A Southside Serpent

Jacket, t-shirt, jeans, boots, hair clip extensions, choker

This year’s Halloween parties may be swarming with Bettys and Cheryls, so if you want to stand out in the crowd of Riverdale locals, go for a more unexpected choice: Toni Topaz (or any of the other Southside Serpents)! However, an authentic faux leather jacket with the Southside Serpents logo costs a pretty penny. If you are a Riverdale fanatic, go for the jacket and, if not, you may want to choose the t-shirt route

Bodysuit, paint, hair chalk, lipstick

This makeup inspired look is perfect for procrastinators who want to forgo the hassle of shopping for an overly artistic costume this Halloween. Don’t worry, you will still look amazing and well-put-together. But, if you are not putting off finding a costume and want to jazz up this look, make sure to purchase a nude bodysuit and throw some washable paint on it!

A Pink Lady

Jacket

Who wouldn’t want to be in the Pink Ladies after watching Grease? They are one of the most popular girl gangs on screen. They wear the color pink very well and no matter how many times you watch Grease, their sarcasm never gets old! Which Pink Lady are you?

The Bloody Purge

Neon maskt-shirt, fake blood, fake machete, fishnets

Even if you’ve never seen The Purge, or any of the sequels, chances are you still know what it is about. This is one of the more popular costumes inspired by the movie but still an awesome look nonetheless! Swap the classic smiling mask for this neon mask and you will set yourself apart from the rest!

If you plan to celebrate Halloween in style, these costumes are perfect for anyone who is preparing for a night to remember. If you decide to wear something from this list during your Halloweekend celebrations, you will definitely make heads turn!
