It’s that time of year again ladies and whether you’re breaking out your standard angel wings and devil horns or venturing into your childhood costume box to see if a child-size medium Princess Leia costume can be transformed into a cute crop, everyone is scrambling for their Halloween night fits.
I’m in the same boat. It’s practically impossible to be the perfect combination of relevant and timeless, sexy and classy, creative and recognizable, and complete but under budget. The challenge is enormous. Frankly, I was struggling. Then one day, lo and behold, the internet gods graced me with inspiration. It’s a trend called, “Rhyme Without Reason”.
Rhyme WITHOUT reason
The idea is a series of couples’ costumes, but as we single folk know those can always be expanded into friend group looks. Anyways, the two participating people dress up as two things or people that rhyme but have no other correlation to each other whatsoever. It’s hilarious and unique, and you can tailor it to your own interests, wardrobe, party theme, and more! The trend is also perfect for anyone who loves to add a sense of humor to their outfits. Here are some of my favorite ideas for the trend…
- Sleeping Beauty and Call of Duty
- James Bond and Legally Blonde
- Greece and Police
- Aquatic and Patriotic
- Harry (Potter or Styles) and Perry (the platypus, duh)
- Fairy and Dairy
- Belle and Odel (Beckham Jr.)
- Flapper and Rapper
- Queen and Mr. Clean
- 80s Fitness and Merry Christmas
- Mermaid and First Aid
- Miley Cyrus and Coronavirus
- Wizard and Blizzard
- Minnie (Mouse) and Winnie (the Pooh)
- Butterfly and FBI
- Bird and Nerd
- Tinkerbell and Angel from Hell
- Mime and Crime
- Writer and Fighter
- Swim and Kim (Kardashian)
- Taylor Swift and Weight-lift
- Athlete and Wall Street
- King and Stranger Things
- Killer and Mac Miller
- Black Cat and Acrobat
This Halloween idea is relatively new, so don’t be surprised if a Google search for outfit inspiration is a little lacking. But, the goal of the concept is to get creative! If you can rhyme two or more things, there’s your reason to dress up! Happy Halloween!
