Tired of overpriced, sweaty, uncomfortable Halloween costumes? Fear no more, here is a great alternative to store bought costumes ranging from simple to more complex. You will look awesome at ‘la calle’ this Halloween!
Individual Costume:
1. Jessie’s Girl: Reference from the popular 80’s song ‘Jessies’s Girl’ by Rick Springfield. A very simple last minute costume that can be made by writing ‘Jessie’s Girl’ on a T-shirt.
2. A Skeleton: You can go from cheap to buy skeleton leggings and dress to searching for stencils and tutorials for making white filled skeleton design.
3. Meg from Family Guy: You’re love for Family Guy can be used for your convenience with a blue jean, pink shirt, round glasses, and a pink beanie. If you have long hair, try searching for a YouTube tutorial for making fake bobs.
4. Hipster Ariel: Add a red wig, green skirt, purple top, and some nerd glasses and you’re set.
5. A Roman Toga warrior: Easily done with some gladiator sandals and white sheets or fabric. Golden accessories and floral headpieces add a touch of authentication mixed with cuteness.
6. A Tourist: Ranging from Disney tourists with cameras, Disney T-shirts, and mouse ears to ‘gringos’ on vacation with bright sunblock on their faces, socks with sandals, Hawaiian shirts, and selfie sticks.
7. A Goth: Black everything. Black clothing, dark make-up, fake piercings, and a killer attitude.
Side note: Most of these costumes can be modified or duplicated to acomidate couples or groups.
Group Costumes:
1. The Teletubbies: A remake from the popular kids TV show, easy to make by wearing tank-tops and shorts with the colors of the characters, a silver sheet on you’re stomach, and pieces of fuzzy pipe cleaners to form the antennas of each character.
2. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Similar to the previous costume, wearing one color outfit corresponding with each character is an option. Another option may be being dressed in all green; both require the signature TMNT color masks. Though I do not recommend bringing their signature armor with you.
3. The Scooby-Doo Gang: Perfect for a two girl, two guy group that loves to take someone’s dog to ‘la calle.’ Imitating each of the character’s costumes may be a tad hard but definitely worth it.
