Spooky season is upon us and Halloween is only a few weeks away! If you are lost trying to decide what to dress up as for Halloween, you have come to the right place. This blog post will provide four simple, unique and easy-to-recreate costume ideas that are perfect for men, women, individuals or groups.
1. Dwight Schrute
Any character from The Office is an iconic Halloween costume for men or women. My favourite character is Dwight Schrute. This can be a solo Halloween costume or you can make it a couples costume by having your other half dress up as Angela. This can easily be turned into a group costume by adding as many characters as needed. If you are a woman dressing up as Dwight, you can wear a classic mustard-coloured dress shirt with any pair of work trousers. To dress up as a sexy Dwight, wear an oversized dress shirt to create a t-shirt dress and pair it with a pair of thigh-high boots. If you really want to drive home that you are Dwight Schrute, add a name tag reading ‘Assistant to the Regional Manager’.

2. Jesse Pinkman
Another iconic TV character you can dress up as is Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad. This Halloween costume can be done solo or turned into a couples or group costume by adding more characters. I recommend dressing up as Saul Goodman or Walter White if you are looking for more character options. This Halloween costume is very easy to recreate. Jesse always wore baggy clothes and a beanie so the possibilities are endless for this costume. Carry around some pop rocks to represent what Jesse and Walt are professionals at cooking.

3. Pop Star
This is a super fun Halloween costume for anyone who loves flashy accessories. You can keep this costume simple by starting with a black or silver dress and then adding the boa, fake microphone, glitter, or any accessories that make you feel like a pop star. If you want to elevate this Halloween costume, try dressing up as your favourite pop star. For example, dress up like Katy Perry from one of her iconic music videos or live performances. Again, this costume can be adapted to be a solo one or a group costume.

4. American Cheerleader
Halloween is a hugely celebrated holiday in the US. This is the perfect time to embrace American culture and dress up like something from the movies like a Prom Queen or American Cheerleader. I always wanted to be a cheerleader, and dressing up as an American cheerleader for Halloween is the closest I will ever get. To get the full effect of being a cheerleader you need a matching set. This is a hard costume to recreate from clothes you already have so I recommend purchasing an actual matching set online.

Happy Halloween! XO, Alicia
