If you’re anything like me, you wait until the last minute to do, well, just about everything. This year, Halloween is no different. With classes, work schedules and homework, it’s easy to neglect a very important part of this season – your Halloween costume.
Here is my list of tried and true last-minute costumes that take little to no effort to put together.
— Your favorite sports player. If you have a jersey sitting in your closet, you’re good to go. Add some black athletic pants or leggings, tennis shoes, eye black or under-eye face paint, a hat or helmet and call it a day.
— A mime. If you’re feeling antisocial, this is perfect for you. All you really need is white face paint. Add a little black to your lips or around your eyes and throw on a black and white striped shirt and white gloves. You can add black pants and suspenders for an added touch.
— A referee. If you have a black and white striped shirt for the mime costume, you can also use to dress up as a ref. Pair it with black athletic pants, carry a clipboard and wear a whistle around your neck. Add sunglasses and a cane to be a blind ref.
— A leopard. Or cheetah. Or cat of some sort. Come on, ladies, you know you have some animal print in your closet. Throw it on with black tights or leggings and add some black face paint or mascara to your face to make whiskers and a black nose. A headband with ears on it will complete the look.
— Miley Cyrus. You’ll be right on trend with this one. If you don't mind showing a little skin, a nude-colored bra or swimsuit top paired with nude-colored bottoms make an easy Miley getup. Twist your hair into two high mini-buns on top of your head, coat your lips in red and stick your tongue out all night. A foam finger will complete the outfit — or whatever you want to call it.
— A lifeguard. Guys or girls who are OK with showing skin can easily pull this off with a red swimsuit, whistle and inner tube. Put a dab of sunscreen on your nose or face and add a cross somewhere to the outfit for added detail.
— Gold digger. Layer yourself with an over-abundance of gold jewelry and carry around a shovel. Simple as that.
— Cloudy with a chance of showers. Pranksters will love this one. Grab an old blue sweatshirt and attach cotton balls or white and gray cloud-shaped felt to it. Tuck a spray bottle or water bottle into your outfit and have fun spraying everyone who inquires about your costume.
— Duck Dynasty star. If you own camouflage clothing items, this one’s easy. Don your favorite camo shirt, vest or pants – or all three – and wear a hat or bandana on your head. Add a fake bushy gray or brown beard. If you have a real one, that’s even better.
— Ghost. This is as low-effort as it gets, people. Throw an old bed sheet over yourself and cut out holes for the eyes. Feel like adding some flirty Halloween flair? Wear a bikini over it and be a sexy ghost.
If these costume ideas don’t help you, I don’t know what will. Now, go dress up, get out and enjoy your Halloween!
