Say it with me now: Being basic when it comes to your Halloween costume is okay. In theory, spending weeks perfecting and executing the perfectly niche pop culture reference or surreally spooky convoluted makeup look is a noble and commendable cause, but when it comes down to crunch time, laziness always seems to prevail. At least it certainly does in my case.
And let’s face it, some of us still want to look relatively nice when we’re out howling at the moon.
So, with that in mind, I’ve rounded up five perfectly basic costume ideas that are likely to be trending this Halloween season. You can either attempt to pull pieces together from what you’ve already got in your wardrobe, or shop some essential items to make you instantly recognisable.
And if worse comes to worst and panic starts to set in, you can always swing by your local costume shop, pick up a Whoopee cushion costume, and spend the night regretting that decision. Yes, I’m speaking from experience.
