With the summer quickly coming to a close, fall will be here before we know it. So it’s time to savour our last moments of sunshine and beach days, crisp autumn air is right around the corner. Fall is undeniably one of the best seasons.
The world is filled with red and orange hues and the air outside just feels comforting and cozy. You spend your weekdays cuddled up on the couch with a cup of warm apple cider and your weekends are spent pumpkin picking with friends. But the best part about fall is Halloween, of course.
But as exciting as Halloween is, we often find ourselves leaving our costumes to the very last minute. With all the other exciting parts about fall, it’s easy to let the weeks go by and forget about Halloween. But planning a last minute Halloween costume doesn’t have to be difficult. You just have to be creative with it. Check out these 5 last-minute ideas for Halloween:
1. A Vampire
Accidentally left your Halloween costume to the day of and have about an hour to throw something together? Easy, be a vampire. A vampire is a classic Halloween costume that you can quickly put together. All you need is black clothes, fake blood, and fangs, of course. Just take a quick trip to the costume store and you will have a great costume in no time.
2. Wear a Funny Halloween T-Shirt
If you don’t have the time to put together an entire costume, wearing a Halloween T-shirt is an easy go-to. Halloween shirts are great if you don’t really want to dress up but still want to take part in the festivities. Wear a funny Halloween shirt with a simple pair of jeans and you’ve got yourself a perfect costume to wear out with your friends.
3. A Skeleton
Another easy Halloween costume you can throw together quickly is a skeleton. There are many ways you can dress up as a skeleton. You can wear all black and do a simple skeleton makeup look with face paint.
Or you can wear black leggings, put on a skeleton tank top, and call it a day. Regardless of what you choose, you can never go wrong with a skeleton Halloween costume.
4. A Cat
A cat is arguably the easiest Halloween costume to put together. All you need is some cat ears and eyeliner to draw on whiskers and you’ll be good to go. And if you’re feeling extra, you can even get a cat tail. When in doubt, be a cat for Halloween. It’s a classic.
5. An Angel and Devil Duo
An angel/devil duo is the perfect costume for two best friends who completely forgot about getting a Halloween costume until the day of. For the angel, all you need to do is wear white and get a halo.
For the devil, you just need to wear red and put on devil horns. Do some cool makeup and you’ve got yourself an iconic Halloween costume in no time. It’s the perfect costume to do on the way out the door to the party.
In an ideal world, we would have ample time to plan out our Halloween costumes. But unfortunately, more often than not, we leave our costumes to the last minute and are left throwing something together on Halloween day.
But if you find yourself in this scenario, don’t fret! You can easily put together a great costume and trick your friends into believing that you spent weeks planning it. Whether you stick to a classic cat or a spooky skeleton, any of these will make for a great last-minute Halloween costume.
