Nothing makes you feel more like a kid than dressing up for Halloween! There is, of course, the standard spooky look—bed sheet ghost, plastic-toothed vampire, zombie with a ghoulish rubber mask. But on the flipside, you come in the guise of pop culture personas—superheroes, actors, politicians, reality stars (the Jersey Shore cast, anyone?). The possibilities are endless.
Stylephiles, of course, will opt for more fasyon fare. Celebrity style icons. On-screen fashionistas. Disney princesses—with a twist. Here, it’s all about attention to detail—even if you don’t replicate the look exactly, you must incorporate enough of the main components to make the character identifiable. Without the details, your costume falls flat, and you become just another attendee who didn’t bother with the dress code.
Looking for a fun, fashionable costume to don for the Halloween festivities? Find 10 great ideas below—with prices, brands, and store locations for each item. The best part is that these costumes are practical—once Halloween is over, you can incorporate the pieces into your wardrobe!
