Regina George taught us well. Halloween is the one day of the year that you get to dress however you want and not be judged for it. You’d think people would take that as a free pass to be over-the-top creative and original when putting together a costume, right? Well, Halloween costumes become more and more basic every year (the number of “Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball” get-ups we saw in 2013 was enough for the decade). Don’t want to fall under the category of Totally Predictable? You probably shouldn’t dress as any of these things this on October 31st!

Harley Quinn

With Suicide Squad being a top box office phenomenon of 2016, we’re bound to see countless teenage girls in pig tails, painted head to toe, prancing around in not nearly as badass of fashion as the real Harley would. Ladies, leave this one up to Margot Robbie.

Hillary Clinton

I mean, obviously. With the presidential election being held barely a week after Halloween, Hillary’s face is already going to be plastered everywhere. Besides, what fun would this costume be anyway? You’d wear a wig, and maybe a pantsuit. Who wants to wear a pantsuit when they aren’t required to? Now, maybe a Naughty Hillary in lingerie would spice up the Halloween party a bit. Don’t tell Bill.

…Donald Trump

…a simple addition to the above. Another awful wig would be involved, but hey, at least this costume would allow you to wear a ton of bronzer. A pantsuit would be required again, though. We are not a fan of those.

Harambe

RIP Harambe The Gorilla. The gunshot was heard everywhere and left animal rights activists somber and appalled. It was an event that made the headlines of many major news platforms in 2016, and is still being talked about. While a gorilla costume isn’t exactly new, and it is quite easy to acquire, perhaps we should have a little sympathy for the little boy who was “saved” by Harambe’s death, and his mother? Plot Twist: the mother dresses her son in a gorilla costume this year. Let the riots begin!
