Effortless Halloween Costume Ideas for Guys and Girls
It’s October, which means that, despite the pandemic, Halloween is very close, and you need to come up with an idea of a costume. If you live on a budget and don’t have much money to spend in a costume shop or just lack time for preparation, you will definitely appreciate our ideas of effortless and last-minute costumes for guys and girls in 2020. Let’s get started!
Couples: Mulder and Scully from the X-Files Show
What can be easier than putting on some formal outfits and print a fake FBI ID badge? Of course, it’s much easier to become a Scully for an evening if you wear red bob, but you can find a cheap wig at a local shop.
Scully and Mulder usually wear black or dark-grey blazers paired with matching trousers and white shirts. You can also add some forensic accessories like gloves or a magnifying glass to make your costumes even better — no need to say that this is a perfect idea for a couple or two friends.
Girls: A Unicorn
Unicorns are cute and funny. What you need for a unicorn costume is some white or holographic clothes, a little bit of glitter to put on your face and hands, and cardboard or paper to make a horn (golden or silver preferred). You can add as many details to your costume as you like – there are a lot of variations of make-up to pair your costume with.
Couples: Sandy and Danny from Grease
Another perfect costume idea for a couple is an iconic duo of Sandy and Danny from Grease movie. All you need to achieve this look is a pair of leather pants, a black t-shirt (a shoulder-off top for a girl’s look), and a black leather jacket. It’s a good old classic that looks very stylish and also doesn’t require much effort – chances are you have something similar to the characters’ outfits in your closet.
Don’t forget to copy the hairstyles of this famous couple, and you are ready to rock!
Guys: Kevin from Home Alone
Another classic movie character is Kevin McCallister from Home Alone. And though you don’t look like an 8-year old boy, you still use this character to create a funny and recognizable look. Just wear a pair of light pants and a knitted oversized sweater. Clap your hands to your face in a scream for that well-known movie shot.
Guys: Sports Commentator or a Streamer
If you don’t have any time for preparation at all, then this costume idea is just for you. You can wear your everyday clothes – everything you like, for example, a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. All you need to do is to add a headset with a microphone to become a sports commentator or a game streamer. It’s possible that you will be asked a lot of questions about your costume because it’s not very obvious, but you will definitely have fun.
Girls: A Sims Character
If you want to use your existing clothes and don’t want to buy anything new specifically for Halloween, you can become a Sims character. You can use any of the clothes that you have in your wardrobe and add a mood crystal (plumbob) on top of your head. You can easily craft it using some paper or cardboard, a marker, a piece of wire, and a headband. You can also choose the color for your crystal instead of going with classic green as there are multiple shades of mood that a Sim character can experience.
Guys and Girl: A Bandit
All you need for this look is some tight black clothes, a mask made out of some black fabric to cover your eyes, and a black beanie hat. You can add some details to your costume, like a pillowcase full of “cash” or some “gold bars” in your pockets. This is a classic comedian look that is very easy to replicate.
