Extremely Overrated Halloween Costumes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mville chapter.

 

 

I love Halloween. It’s that super fun time of the year where you get to practically pretend to be whoever or whatever you want to be. But when people decide on pretending to be the same characters every single year, that’s when Halloween gets lame. Now, I know that Halloween can get pretty complicated and pricey. Most costume sets at costume stores range from about $50 to maybe even $100! This is why most costume stores sell small accessories, like cat ears, devil horns, and bunny ears for about $5. These stores know that everyone loves a low price and that’s what makes these costumes extremely overrated.

 

1. The Cat

I highly doubt that there’ll ever be a Halloween without someone dressed up as a cat. This is by far the most overrated Halloween costume ever. It’s one of the easiest to create. The five-dollar cat ears, the black leggings that you most likely already have, and the eyeliner whiskers are super convenient.

 

2. The Devil

It’s literally a costume from h-… never mind.

3. The Playboy Bunny

I’m so sick of seeing “bunnies” walking around in high heels, fishnet tights, and a really tight bodysuit every Halloween. Why can’t anybunny tell them that their costume is super overrated?

 

4.   The Frat Boy

I’ve never understood why people dress up as frat boys for Halloween, but if this costume seems to interest you in any way, anything from Vineyard Vines will do.

5.   Where’s Waldo?

I found him, and he wants his originality back.
