You didn’t think of ANYTHING?
For some of us, Halloween has an uncanny way of sneaking up at the last minute with the scary realization that you never picked a costume. Fear not, dear reader, for we’ve got you covered with this handy list of quick and easy costumes that wont leave you looking like a ghoul (unless, of course, you’re into that sort of thing):
- Steve Jobs: An icon among last minute halloween costumes since at least 2007. Blue jeans, a black turtleneck, and a pair of sneakers are all you need to evoke the Apple co-founder. Bonus points: before you leave the party, queue up a bad joke by saying “one more thing…”
- Bubble Bath: Pin some white balloons to a t-shirt, add a shower cap and maybe a rubber ducky if you’ve got one, and you’re ready to make a splash!
- Ted Lasso: If you’ve got a blue sweater, a button down shirt, a pair of khakis, and a hard time hearing people who don’t believe in themselves, you’re ready to hit the Halloween party looking like everyone’s favorite (English) football coach. Just don’t forget the moustache!
- A Dad: This one’s open to interpretation, of course, but the important thing is keeping it extra chic: we’re talkin’ t-shirt tucked into cargo shorts, white socks pulled all the way up with a pair of sandals. If you’ve got a fishing vest or a Bass Pro Shops hat laying around, even better!
- Kim Kardashian At The Met Gala: Turning heads like Kim K. did in September doesn’t have to be a designer affair: all you really need are a pair of black sweatpants, a ski mask, and a couple of trash bags! If you’ve got a friend who’s game, have them dress up as estranged husband Kanye with a work jacket/monster mask combo!
- A Cat: No list would be complete without the most tried-and-true last minute costume of all. Grab some paper, tape, a Sharpie, and, if you have one, a headband, and voila: cat ears!
Whether you go with one of these or just cut some holes in an old sheet like Charlie Brown, have a safe and happy Halloween!
