Chippettes

Grab two of your friends and dress up as a chipmunk pop trio! Aim for primarily pink, purple and green outfits, add ears of some form, draw on a chipmunk nose, and you’re set! Should you need another trio, there’s always Alvin and the Chipmunks, but they’re not the real stars here.

Doctor 

Are you pre-med? No? Good. Don the lab coat and prop stethoscope to be what your parents always wanted you to be.

Mime 

Eminem and/or M&M 

To be a rapper or in a wrapper? That is the question. Go as Eminem or an M&M (or both)! Eminem’s blonde buzz and chain, or perhaps a giant “M” on your chest … either way, your costume will be sweet.

Nursing student

Don’t have time to change after clinicals? Perfect, go out in your scrubs. There’s nothing better than an authentic costume, so embody yourself.

Louvre robbers

Were you in Paris Oct. 19? We don’t want to know. Dress in all black, a neon safety vest and your ethically sourced jewels and go steal some hearts—only hearts.

Black cat

Very simple, but just as iconic. Dress in all black, throw on some eyeliner whiskers and get a cat ear headband. Be the source of someone else’s bad (or good) luck this Halloween as a black cat!

“We Bare Bears” bears

Another costume perfect for trios, dress in primarily white, brown or black and white to embody a grizzly bear, polar bear or panda! You’ll be there with a wink and a smile and a great old time. Wherever they are, there will be fun to be found! 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Need a large group costume? Channel all of your inner child’s hopes and dreams and embody The Very Hungry Caterpillar and his week-long feast. You’ll be sure to eat in this costume!

Fairies

“She was a fairy…” and you can be too this Halloween! With a simple costume with “personal space bubble” wings and a Pinterest worthy outfit, be a fairy!

Neo from “The Matrix”

If you feel an overwhelming sense of déjà vu, or feel as though you are living in a simulation, take the red pill and be Neo from “The Matrix.” Sunglasses, a long, black trench coat and no spoons!

Your friend

Do you and your friend have a distinct look? Go as each other! This works especially well for people with colored hair. Grab a wig, each other’s clothes and get your “Freaky Friday” on!

A crouton 

If you’ve always aspired to be part of a salad or soup, choose to be a crouton. It would be preferable for the costume to not be made of bread, and if you do, avoid the pigeons! (A cardboard box is just as crouton-y).

Gaslight people into thinking you’re an obscure book character

“It’s kind of niche… I don’t know if you’ve heard of it…”
