Whether Amazon delivery won’t arrive until Nov. 2, you’ve spent too much money at Pounce or your dog ate your costume, we’ve got you covered (literally) with these last-minute Halloween costumes. Take a dive into your closet for a quick and easy outfit.
Business person
Throw a blazer over virtually anything, pants and a collared shirt, a skirt or a dress, with a pair of heels or dress shoes to create a perfect business person. Now all you need is a slicked-back bun or coiffed hairstyle.
Cow person
If you’re a SCAD student this year, there’s a 50% chance you own a pair of cowboy boots. Slap those bad boys on with your favorite denim and a checkered shirt for that cow person look! Finish it off with some spunky pigtails and a red lip!
Waldo
I know you probably can’t see me, but I’m where’s Waldo (get it)! A striped tee is the only necessity for this outfit. Swap out a beret for a beanie or even a ball cap, and the look still works!
Tourist
Now you might recognize this costume from walking the city streets of savannah, that’s right, folks, it’s tourist time. Grab a printed button-up, roll your jeans to the most awkward length and find your bulkiest pair of shoes. Accessorize with silly hats, Fanny packs or bags, and you’ve got your final look!
Steampunk
Throw on your favorite pair of overalls and goggles for a simple steampunk look!
Devil
Did someone say, devil? No, he’s Daredevil. All you need for this look is a suit and some red hair to complete the look!
Cat
A classic cat look is probably the simplest and most versatile costume you can create. It can be as simple as throwing on all black and drawing on a few whiskers or more implied, like this red number here. A cat is probably the easiest last-minute costume for anyone to create!
