Easy Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
October 30, 2015
If you’ve procrastinated on putting together a Halloween costume this year, here are five easy ideas you can pull together with clothing you probably already have in your closet.
1. Wednesday Addams
If you don’t have a black sweater and a white button-up shirt somewhere in your closet, someone in your family probably does. Pair this with a black skirt or even some black jeans and you’ll be good to go. Bonus: if your hair is long enough to braid – do it!
2. Chucky
Pair a striped shirt with some overalls and you’re basically set. If you want to put in a little extra effort, attach some red felt letters and spell out “Good Guys” for cinematic accuracy and draw some scars on your face. You can easily find the clothing at a Goodwill or Salvation Army if you do a little digging and the letters at a craft store.
3. Tina from Bob’s Burgers
This has got to be one of the easiest things you can pull together. All you need is a blue t shirt and a blue skirt and some glasses. If you already wear glasses, you’re set. If you need prop glasses, just stop by party city or your local pop-up Halloween store.
4. Alex from A Clockwork Orange
For all the Kubrick fans out there, throw on your white jumpsuits and black top hats. If you don’t happen to have a white jumpsuit laying around (I assume the average person doesn’t), a white button up and any kind of white pants will do. Pair these with false eyelashes, some black boots if you have them, and don’t forget to pose with a glass of milk!
5. Donnie Darko
You might have some type of skeleton shirt buried in your drawer, or if you want to go the extra mile, just pick up a skeleton suit from a costume store. Don’t forget your gray hoodie and end-of-the-world countdown tattoo!
