It’s almost time for my favorite holiday…HALLOWEEN! As I am an avid lover of anything and everything associated with All Hallows’ Eve, one of my favorite articles to write is what I believe are the best Halloween costume options for you this year. Because of quite frankly, I think dressing up is one of the best parts (Besides Free Candy) of the holiday. Now need I remind you as I previously have, this is a 100% subjective and completely irrational list of potential Halloween costumes, but let me tell you if you have time and enjoy using your imagination and creativity, these costume ideas are pretty promising for a successful 2017 Halloween costume.
1. A Card Against Humanity Couple
We all know the fun, fucked up a game of Cards Against Humanity. It is most likely the game you have drunkenly played with your horrible friends and made downright awful combinations of racist, violent, disgusting, and hilarious jokes. So why not try a combo for this Halloween? That’s right, get creative and share with the world a striking combo of “Daniel Radcliffe’s… Delicious Asshole” or “During sex, I like to think about…A PowerPoint Presentation” because it’s a funny, last-minute DIY Halloween costume everyone will love and you and a friend, lover or maybe even yourself can pull it off.
2. Dead…Barb from ‘Stranger Things’
Last year I told you to be Eleven, this year I’m all about Barb. But not alive barb…no screw that…dead Barb. I want it to look like the Demogorgon just ate the hell out of you and then spit you back out with the slugs type of Barb. To accomplish this, get some old lady glasses, smash them, a red Ronald McDonald wig, and some ugly Librarian clothes from the thrift store, and cover yourself in dust and fake blood, and you will be good to go.
3. Jim from ‘The Office’ as Facebook
Yes, if you love ‘The Office’ and you are lazy then this will be the perfect costume for you. All you need is to wear some casual business-style clothes, get a black Sharpie pen or black eyeliner (Whichever you prefer), and write the word ‘BOOK’ on your face. Simple as that.
4. Daenerys Targaryen
I love this costume idea and I honestly may be doing this one myself this year. If you are a ‘Game of Thrones fan like me, you know that Daenerys is one hot mother of dragons, and recreating her character for Halloween is going to make you one hot commodity too. my favorite look is from season two, which is super easy to recreate with my tips below. just make sure you incorporate some dragons somewhere in your look!
5. The Solar Eclipse
If you still have your safety protection glasses, please, by all means, incorporate them into this costume. Since one of the biggest 2017 crazes was the solar eclipse, So, why not bring back the love and dress up like the sun?
6. The Girl from PATCHWORK
I have a feeling a lot of you are going to have no idea who this is, but it’s a very cool idea for a scary Halloween costume. As you will see from my photo below, the horror comedy called PATCHWORK features a female character that is all “patched” together from the bodies of three young women. All you need is some great Frankenstein-inspired FX makeup, half a blonde wig, half a brunette wig (or the pink one), and carry around an ax.
7. A Spice Girl (Literally)
If you love sarcasm, being the running joke of the party, and have a passion for spices…this is the costume for you. All you need is some construction paper, glue, and an apron and you are good to go. I recommend being Cinnamon Sugar or possibly Ground Cloves.
8. Salt Bae
If you have no clue what I am talking about, please do not be this. If you, however, know what I am referring to, then, by all means, grab your black pants, white v-neck, round sunglasses, salt shaker, glue on that goatee, and make people laugh all night long.
9. Colonel Sanders from KFC
First, if you love chicken, this costume is for you. All you need is a white suit, some fake white facial hair (Unless you already have some real stuff) a black bolo tie, and a black cane and you are good to go. Oh, and don’t forget to get a bucket of KFC chicken to carry around with you. I would suggest handing out samples to friends all night too. (Great Party Favor)
10. A Tequila Shot (#SquadGoals)
Yes, this will make you and the two friends you choose to be by your side the most basic bitches out there on the streets, but I must admit it is a cute Halloween costume that is easy to make. You got your white outfit for Salt, your brown outfit for Jose Cuervo, and your cute green outfit for your lime.
With Love,
Lex Paige
(Be Sure to send me pictures of your costume (s) if you decide to take my advice…I’d love to see!)
