The season of fall is finally upon us, and for many that means, going to pumpkin patches, buying warm drinks, taking trendy Instagram pictures of themselves playing in the leaves, and (almost) everyone’s favorite holiday, Halloween.
Although Halloween is a holiday for children to dress up and collect candy, that doesn’t mean big kids can’t dress up too. However, trying to find a cool costume on a college budget can be hard. Sometimes you have to think outside of the box and get creative. Here are some totally unique and cool costumes that anyone can rock this Halloween.
First on the list is a classic, Boo from Monsters Inc. , for this costume the items needed would be: purple leggings, a pink shirt, white shoes, and some pink hair ties. All of those items can be really inexpensive at places like Walmart or Target.
The next costume is also a popular icon that everyone should recognize, Jake from State Farm. The outfit includes, a red polo, a name tag, a headset, and khakis, of course.
Back to movie characters, everyone knows the movie Mean Girls. So here are the two easiest characters to dress up as. For the first one, take a mini skirt, some heels, and a tank top, but cut holes in the chest area of the tank top, Regina George coming through. The second one is beyond easy, grab a blue hoodie, some sunglasses, and a sign that says “She doesn’t even go here!” and you have Damien. However, you could just dress in army pants in flip flops and be Cady Heron.
The next outfit is simple but fun, a bubblegum machine! This one requires a hot glue gun so just make sure there is supervision for the not-so-crafty people. All that you’d do is buy some red pants or a red tutu, a white t-shirt, some pom pom balls, and some string or tape. Just glue the pom poms onto the shirt, and then make a sign that says “25 cents” and either tape it on the shirt or take some string and wear it around your neck. The last outfit is also super simple, it requires a red checkered shirt, blue jeans, and a roll of Brawny® paper towels and you are now the Brawny man.
These costumes will not only make you look creative, but they will save your wallet.
Each of them are very simple to create and are not time consuming at all. So go out and show your friends how to look cool while saving money, and have a Happy Halloween.
