The Perfect Costumes to Match Your Hair Color

It’s spooky season! Which means it’s time to put your last-minute costumes together. There’s no time nor is there ever a valid reason you should ever dye your hair for a Halloween costume. Therefore, you need to find ideas that don’t involve plastic, god-awful wigs that don’t even look like they fit your head. Blonde, brunette, black, or red-haired people, listen up!

1. Blonde

There are so many costume ideas for you blonde-haired goddesses but our personal favorites are the characters that are intelligent and classy.

The red lipstick, hair curled to perfection, and a black outfit that is oh so tight. This is the perfect sexy blonde costume for Halloween parties of all ages. It’s a classic that old souls will love and it’s convenient enough for a spooky kegger.

All you need is black skinny jeans or leather pants, an off the shoulder crop top, red sandal heels, red lipstick, and curled hair.

Long Hair: Lizzie McGuire

Grab your flip phone and lip gloss; we’re throwing it back to the early 2000s. This outfit is absolutely adorable and Gordo-approved. You’ll look taller in all of your photos with those platform flip flops that are hidden deep in the back of your closet at home.

Wear your favorite flared, low-waisted jeans, platform flip flops, a colorful tube or halter top, denim jacket, and, of course, butterfly hair clips!

2. Brunette

Show the blondes how to really have fun with these flirty outfits inspired by the greatest brunettes to ever live.

Ask your mom for her best pearls because who wouldn’t want to be Audrey Hepburn for a day? You can do her classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s look or even make a more laid back or sexy version.

Grab a black skirt, a black sleeveless shirt, big black sunglasses, a pearl necklace, black dinner gloves, and pull your hair up in a bun with a cute silver clip in the front. Let loose but remember, you’re Audrey for the night… keep it classy.
