Top 10 Classic Halloween Costumes

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

Tis the season for pumpkins, chocolate and dressing up! The days of knocking on doors and trick-or-treating for candy may be behind us, but we are never too old for costumes. It is a night to celebrate our favorite character, celebrity, decade, animal, whatever you wish! Here are the top ten classic Halloween costumes. 

10. A Superhero(ine)/ Villain. This says, “I don’t need saving. I save myself!”

9. A Cowgirl. Let your hair down and saddle up!

8. An Angel. Romeo, Romeo! Where for art thou Romeo?

7. Barbie. Hey, despite being plastic, she has feelings too!

6. Marilyn Monroe. Don’t forget the beauty mark!

5. A Hogwarts Student. Preferrably the wickedly BA Hermione Granger.

4. A Disney Princess. Because who doesn’t want to talk to animals, look perfect 24/7 and break out into song!

3. A Roaring 20’s Flapper inspired by The Great Gatsby.

2. Britney Spears… a plethora of options to choose from here. 

1. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games. ‘Nuff said.
