With Halloween coming up, many people want to show their spirit. For those who want to go above and beyond, we here at The Forest Scout have you covered with 10 amazing costumes – some unique and some popular – that’ll guarantee you a great Halloween.
Girls
1. Pop Singers
A fun costume could be singers such as Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor Swift, who have become a huge craze around the world and have so many iconic outfits. You can really pick and choose, depending on your favorite, and make it unique!
2. Pirates
Even though this costume may be basic, you can make it your own in different ways, and it’s also easy to create. A white dress, a corset, lots of jewelry, boots, and a scarf are all you need.
3. Movie Characters
Just like singers, there are so many iconic movie looks that are always a staple costume for people during Halloween. Movies like Clueless and Mean Girls have so many extremely recognizable and popular outfits you could choose from!
4. Roaring 20s
Think of The Great Gatsby – flapper dresses, pearls, feather boas, etc. It’s not a costume you see all the time, but it’s fun, decorative, and eye-catching.
5. Mermaids
If you’re looking for a colorful and shiny costume, a mermaid might be the one for you! Sequins are the way to go — tops, skirts, and accessories. You can really go any way for this and create your own look!
Boys
1. Chef/Cook
Set in our very own Chicago, The Bear has become a fan favorite TV show, and many have begun to dress as the chefs featured. Throw in some spices and herbs in your apron pocket, and you’ve got a realistic line cook costume.
2. Steez/Frat Bro
A popular internet trend titled “Steezoween” occurred last year, where many guys dressed like popular TikTok creator and frat bro Steez. Steez usually wears a backwards hat, a polo shirt, khaki shorts, and a basketball jersey backwards.
3. Construction Worker
Many guys dress as different professions during Halloween, such as cops, soldiers, or doctors. With only a yellow hard hat and reflective vest, it’s simple, unique, and uncomplicated — the perfect balance for a guy’s Halloween costume.
4. Cowboy
A simple yet very effective costume. All you need are jeans, boots, and a snazzy cowboy hat, and you’ve got yourself a good time.
5. Racecar Driver
A fun, one-piece outfit. The racecar driver is a simple yet effective and fun costume for any guy. Wear one at your costume party, and people won’t notice you when you walk into a room.
