Boo! Halloween is coming. Here's how to decide on a costume

Costume Type

Choosing the right Halloween costume starts with understanding your personality and enthusiasm for dressing up. Sophie Strauss suggests being honest about whether you're someone who loves going all out with hair, makeup, and accessories, or if you're more low-key, like Jim from "The Office" with a simple paper costume 1. Once you've identified your type, consider recent pop culture, trending news, or even random household objects as inspiration. Sophie notes, "There's no wrong answer," whether you choose to be a pop culture reference or something as simple as a baked potato 1.

   

Inspiration

Inspiration for Halloween costumes can come from various sources, including pop culture, celebrities, or intriguing characters. Marielle Segarra emphasizes the importance of choosing a character you admire or whose energy you want to embody for the night 2. Sophie Strauss shares her excitement about embodying Tim Riggins, a character with "big himbo energy," using items she already owns and a few key accessories 3. She highlights that accessories can transform a simple outfit into a recognizable costume, making them a cost-effective and versatile choice.
