Choose a Cool Halloween Costume

When it comes to Halloween, you try your best to be original. You look at store bought costumes, and you even try to think of something to put together by yourself. It seems you end up never really knowing what to wear. See what your personality suggests!

Steps

  1. If you have a big interest, such as acting, be a movie star. Or if you love sports, you could take it one step further and dress up as Derek Jeter or Tom Brady.
  2. You could always pick something simple, such as a fairy-princess (think glam accessories, glitter, makeup and pink) or an animal of any sort (think a certain dominant color and a few accessories).
  3. Simply dressing up as a classic sort of thing (witch, cheerleader, etc.) can get boring after a while, so instead, put a spin on classic costumes! You could personalize them by making it a goth cheerleader or a goth witch, or even have a preppy witch!
  4. If you really enjoy making costumes and spending a lot of time on them, do something really elaborate and unique. Examples: Evil fairy, Cheshire Cat, various anime characters, any mascot-type costume. Only do this if you're really serious about it, though.
  5. If you really like to shock people a bit though, why not go in the total opposite of what you are, sure it would be hard to keep up, but what is one little trip to the other side of the fence? For example, a prep dresses as a goth, a boy dresses up as a girl, or a popular person dresses as a geek.

Tips

  • Act your character. Are you muscular, sexy, old, creaky, evil? That should tell you how to talk, walk move etc.
  • You don't have to be a scary character, just because it's Halloween. Be who you want to be - have fun!
  • Be creative! You can never go wrong with a creative, all-your-own Halloween costume.
  • Buy costumes cheaply for next year just after Halloween
  • Dress Appropriately. That naughty nun outfit might be a hit at the local frat house, not so much at the Methodist Fall Festival.
  • Add a special touch. Carry a prop associated with your character.
  • If you make your costume, make sure you manage your time so that is ready in plenty of time.
  • Don't go as yourself! You are way more creative than that! Think of something outside of the box!

Warnings

  • Be sure that cars can see you when crossing the street. If your costume is all black or mostly black, make sure to put reflective tape somewhere on your costume (chest, head, shoulders, arms, somewhere that a car driver can see you).
  • Don't go too crazy if you can't pull it off. It might be funny for some guy to go as a playboy bunny as a joke, but others might not be able to pull it off.
  • The best costume is one which anyone can recognize, but no-one has thought of. Be imaginative, but not too obscure.
  • Try not to stretch it too much, or, on the other hand, do something too clichéd. Honestly, who really needs another witch?
