Halloween is right around the corner and that means the dreaded stress of finding the perfect costume is too. Below are five costume ideas that you won’t see everyone else wearing.

This is inspired by my current Netflix obsession, but it is a fun costume idea that is less common than a cop.

2. Oktoberfest Girl

Oktoberfest is fun and this costume is too! It’s sure to be a “crowd-pleaser” at parties. 

3. Taco

Why wouldn’t you want to give an ode to the best food in the world? 

4. A Literal Trap Queen

We couldn’t find a picture example for this one, but all you need is a crown, dress, and some mousetraps!

5. Cher Horowitz from “Clueless”

This fun costume, inspired by a great movie, is recongnizable while still being unique.
