Thinking of an original Halloween costume is always a challenge, but somehow it seems to be particularly difficult for all the redheads out there. If you’re a fellow redhead and cannot face another year of dressing up as Annie or Ariel, here are 4 costume ideas that are sure to make you stand out!
1. Kimmy Schmidt
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is undoubtedly one of the most successful Netflix originals, and also makes for a super easy and super cheap Halloween costume!! With Kimmy, it’s all about the cardigans and the colours. Buy a colourful pair of jeans, a patterned shirt, throw on a pair of trainers and a backpack, put some curls through your hair and you are ready to go!! This is the perfect costume idea for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, but still wants to look good!

2. Kim Possible
Again, this is a super cheap and super easy costume to make! Buy a pair of cargo trousers, a black crop top, black army boots and a pair of gloves and your costume is complete! This look could easily be achieved in under ÂŁ20. Even better, this can easily become a couples costume as every Kim Possible definitely needs a Ron Stoppable!

3. PowerPuff Girls
This is the ideal group costume for any redhead (especially seeing as Blossom is EVERYONE’S favourite Powerpuff Girl!) Find two friends who are willing to get involved and after a quick trip to Primark you will have everything you need to become this crime fighting trio (whilst looking fab!)

4. Ygritte
Leaving the best costume till last (and also the most expensive….and hardest to find…but still completely worth it!!), we have everyone’s favourite GoT character Ygritte. Admittedly this costume does require a lot more time and effort, as well as money, however the result would make it completely worth it! Unfortunately, I doubt Primark will have many items that will help you create this look. Ebay and Amazon are worth a look though, and there are a number of pop-up Halloween stores in the centre of Glasgow right now that sell loads of character costumes. Who knows, you might even find your own Jon Snow!
