We aren’t saying we’re committed to any of these just yet, we’re just saying these are certainly options. Let’s get started!
Eddie Munson, Stranger Things
Oh, come on, we were all anticipating this one. We’re really big fans of costumes that can be perfectly executed after just a few thrift store trips and Eddie Munson fits the bill for this one. All you need is a solid pair of ripped jeans, some totally rad and punk 80s chain accessories, a Hellfire Club shirt (check ‘em out here!), and an oversized denim jacket. If you’re really going for the look, we highly recommend an 80s perm. Or at least some voluminous curls.
Literally Any Beetlejuice Character
Not only is this a great movie to curl up and watch a million times over throughout spooky season, but the characters make for a *chef’s kiss* costume. Take the ghost with the most, for example, we love the idea of recreating Beetlejuice’s look with a flared striped pant, a fitted striped blazer, and a lace crop top underneath, with green hair to really complete the look, of course. Or if Lydia is more your jam, start hitting up your local thrift stores for the perfect goth-glam dress to pair with a black hat, and vintage camera. And, our personal favorite, Barbara. The easy part is finding that perfect late-1980s floral dress, the more time-consuming part is making the mask.
Bob and/or Linda Belcher
You can’t go wrong with any of the Belcher clan, but we especially love Bob and Linda as a couples theme. As long as you have a pair of khakis, a white t-shirt, an apron, and a sick mustache, you’re practically Bob in the flesh. As for Linda, as long as you can get your hands on some red cat-eye glasses, you’re practically there.
The Cheetah Girls
If your gang is looking for the perfect costume, look no further than the Cheetah Girls. And with this massive y2k revival we’re experiencing in the fashion world, it shouldn’t be too hard to nab some velour tracksuits. The hardest part will be choosing exactly which Cheetah Girl you’re going to be.
Wayne’s World
The year could be 2050 and we will still think this is the coolest costume, hands down. You and your partner or bestie just need to nab some wigs, band tees, mom jeans, and flannels, all of which can be nabbed at a thrift store (just buy the wig new, please) for a few bucks and you’ve got a timeless costume. Party on!
