Don’t know what to wear for this year’s Halloween festivities? Well, let me share some easy last minute yet trendy ideas sure to turn heads!
1.) Leopard
Leopard print is making its comeback this year, rightfully so. Not only is it chic and fashionable, but it is a costume that can easily be put together. All you need is leopard print clothing, a leopard ear headband and leopard inspired makeup!
2.) Party Animals
To steer not too far away from the leopard costume, the next most talked about animal related look this year is “party animals,” where you simply dress in animal print clothing and pop on a party hat. There is a wide variety of prints to choose from including cheetah, zebra and tiger; simply let your imagination run wild and choose one that feels like you! This is such a simple costume idea and will add an iconic piece of clothing to your wardrobe for future use.
3.) Cheerleader
This year dressing up as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader is making its return; simply dressing up as one of your favorite football team’s cheerleaders is a great option for this Halloween. All you have to do is grab your preferred team’s jersey, a mini skirt, pom-poms, a bow and a pair of sneakers. Half of these things are probably already in your closet, making it an affordable and fairly accessible costume.
4.) Remy & Linguini
Now onto the duo costumes: grab a friend and dress up as the classic Remy and Linguini from the “Ratatouille” movie. The Disney film is about a Paris-based chef who befriends and partners up with a food expert rat in order to create savory meals. To achieve the Linguini look you need a white button up, any color pants, an apron and a chef’s hat. For Remy’s look wear a gray outfit and a mouse ear headband.
5.) Nara & Lucky Blue Smith
Last but not least, the duo costume’s top notch inspiration of the year is the iconic TikTok couple Nara and Lucky Blue Smith. This couple is known for their modeling careers but more importantly from their “From Scratch” TikTok content. They mastered the art of cooking, baking and creating all sorts of goodies from scratch and have been one of the main talked about couples on TikTok within the past year. This couple has gotten tons of attention on and off the platform. Your costume, if done correctly, will be easily identifiable by their audience. To achieve the perfect Nara Smith look, you should wear either a simple sleek dress or an over-the-top, fashionably extravagant dress –no in between. As for obtaining the perfect Lucky Blue Smith look, you will need to dress like you are straight out of a 1950s men’s fashion magazine with a pair of slacks or jeans and a simple button up; you cannot forget to keep a toothpick in between your teeth at all times, since that is an essential part of his signature look.
Remember that dressing up for Halloween can be fun and affordable. Work with what you have, maybe purchase a few missing items for your costumes and just have fun with it!
