Happy Halloween! Well, almost— Halloween is less than a month away and it’s time to start thinking about what to be. College can get so busy and it can be hard to set aside time to pick out and buy costumes, but no need to stress. I’ve put together a list of DIY costumes that you could do by yourself or with friends, and everything can be bought on Amazon!
1. Fairy
A fairy is a super simple costume idea that you could do alone or in a group. All you need is a pretty dress or skirt (if you don’t have one, here’s one you can buy on Amazon) and wings! I love these wings on amazon that also come with a super cute wand. If you want to add some extra glam to this costume, you could also get a flower crown and tinsel for your hair. Don’t forget to do some fun glittery makeup to really take this costume to the next level!
2. Pirate
A pirate is another great costume that you can do by yourself or with friends. For this costume, take any flowy white dress or shirt and layer a corset over it (get this one on Amazon for only $8). If you have some extra money to spend and want to add a few accessories, you could buy this gold chain belt, some fishnets, and this super cute headband.
3. The total package (DUO)
If you’re looking for a fun and unique costume, a UPS worker and a package (A.K.A. the total package) is a great idea! All you really need for the UPS costume is a brown romper and a UPS patch, but if you wanna go all out you can get this hat, these socks, and a fanny pack. And if you still want to be a little more extra, you could also carry around an old package you have (maybe even the package your costume came in)! For the package part, you or your bestie can get the same romper but in tan, and this iron-on patch.
4. Firefighter
For this firefighter (or “hot girl”) costume, start with a black romper and pick a few of the following accessories: this reflective vest, this firefighter hat, a patch, some fishnets (you could do red or these super cool flame ones), these red flame glasses, or some flame earrings (I also love these heart shaped ones).
6. Goldfish
If you want a costume that I would say is totally unique and maybe a little out there, be a goldfish! It’s nothing I’ve ever seen before, but I think it’s a really fun costume. Just wear an orange dress (I really like this one with these gloves, or this dress) and some goldfish earrings! There are actually a lot of goldfish earrings on Amazon, but some of my favorites are these ones, these ones in a bag, or actual goldfish cracker earrings. This costume is definitely a conversation starter at any Halloween party.
Happy Halloween!
