Here we are, the day before Halloween and you're in need of a costume. Maybe you just didn't think about it until today. Maybe you thought you were going to be in a group costume that fell through. Maybe the stuff that you ordered from Amazon specifically for Halloween isn't here yet.
But the point is, you're looking for a costume you can throw together really quickly and easily. Fortunately for you, I've got a few ideas for some last-minute costumes that you can throw together with stuff from your closet.
1. Billy Ray Cyrus
This one is easy and can be hilarious if you do it right. You need jeans, a flannel (preferably one with red in it), boots (either duck, work, or cowboy), and a baseball cap. If you really want to sell it, you can either get a mullet wig or, if your hair is long enough, tuck it into your baseball cap to make it look like a mullet. Complete your aesthetic with an over the top country accent.
2. A kindergartener
You'll need a shirt that is either solid or striped, jean shorts (or jeans if it's really cold), tennis shoes, pigtails (if you've got long enough hair), a juice box, a childhood snack of your choice, and a teddy bear. Bonus points if one of your friends will be your teacher or your mom.
3. Luke from 'Gilmore Girls'
Everyone has jeans, a solid colored t-shirt, and a flannel. Just opt for dark colors. Finish it off with a backward blue baseball cap.
4. Greek Life
You can either dress up as frat boys and srat girls or you can go a little more literal and tie on a toga (optional Vineyard Vines whale on the back to go for the pun).
5. A greaser
Black pants, white shirt, short red scarf, black boots, black leather jacket. While this one might be a little harder to find in your average closet, it's a clutch costume and one that you can get all of the pieces for at Target.
6. A librarian
Put on your best "sweater with elbow patches" look! Bonus points if you go around shushing people!
7. A tacky tourist
Tacky tourist is pretty open-ended as far as what you actually wear. I did socks and sandals, a Hawaiian shirt over an "I Heart NY" shirt, shorts, a huge bag, and mickey mouse ears. It's really completely up to you!
8. A serial killer
Put on whatever you want. Serial killers look like everyone else.
