October is flying by, and it’s time to start thinking about all your costume options. You want your costume to be creative and different from anyone else at the party, but that’s so hard to do when everyone looks through Pinterest for ideas. Although we won’t share what our costumes are this year, we’ve compiled some of our favorites, and we hope they give you some inspiration!
For the crafty type:
Some people are just born with the desire to be crafty. And to that we say, more power to you. Here’s a costume that will take a little bit of assembly, but the finished product will be the most colorful costume at the party, guaranteed. Blog Rabbit Food for my Bunny Teeth, the writer who is in the picture, gives a tutorial on how to make your own piñata costume.
For the couple:
Couple’s costumes don’t have to be corny and over-the-top. Try a funny costume that your SO won’t be embarrassed to be seen (or photographed) in. We suggest Squints and Sandy Peppercorn from The Sandlot!
For the punny one:
If you aren’t satisfied with the sexy costumes that are all the rage, go as this “Life of the Party” pun! You can attach a Life cereal box to yourself, like this woman did, or just write the world life on you somehow. People will think you’re clever, and it’s an easy DIY costume.
For the roommates:
Cute and silly come together perfectly in this Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum duo. You and your roommate can take some adorable profile pictures for later and be able to find each other once you inevitably get separated at a house party.
For the lazy girl:
Sometimes we just could care less about Halloween costumes. They cost a lot, and you can only wear them for one night, yet you don’t want to be the odd one out on the 31st. Grab a colorful bra and an old white tank and go as Regina George! Prep time takes all of a minute, and you’ll be ready to go.
For the big friend group:
You want all your friends to match, but it’s hard picking something you all agree on. How about grabbing jackets like the Pink Ladies from Grease? Pair with any black pants, leggings, or skirts. (Just try not to fight over who gets to be Rizzo. We all know she’s the coolest of them all.)
For the last minute rush:
So maybe you had a costume all planned out and it got ruined; now you have absolutely nothing to wear and the party starts in a couple of hours. This Rosie the Riveter costume is so simple: grab a chambray, a red bandana, and some red lipstick and you’re set! If it’s good enough for Beyonce, it’s good enough for you. Crisis adverted.
