As teenagers, Halloween costumes can be tricky to deal with. It’s hard to decide whether you want a funny, creative, or easy costume, or whether or not you want to dress up at all.
There’s also the factor of spending money on a second rate costume from a store. There’s definitely a better use to your money than spending sixty bucks on a poorly made, generic costume from a substandard Halloween store. Typically, they just look cheap and they are rarely attractive. So here I have some inexpensive and easy costume ideas!
50s Kid (guys)
Wear a pair of old jeans and a clean, crisp, white T-shirt. Over the T-shirt, wear a black leather jacket. Double points if it’s vintage. If you don’t have a leather jacket, a fitted black coat should work as well. Then grease up with some hair gel and you’ll be the ultimate greaser. Don’t forget the comb!
Next, learn to sing, dance and fix cars. Go catch a scary flick at the drive-in with your gal and she will think you’re the bee’s knees. If you pull this look off, you’ll be the coolest cat in town.
Easy Cat (girls)
Find a short, black dress. This could be any type of dress- pick one out that looks great on your body type. Try Forever 21 or H&M. You have a lot of options when it comes to the shoes, depending on your dress type of course. Black Vans or Converse will look good with a lot of dresses. You can also wear black flats or even black heels. As for makeup, create a winged cat eye. There are a lot of tutorials for this on YouTube. Draw a couple whiskers on your face, and don’t forget about your nose! Put on a headband with cat ears and leave your hair down. The nice thing about this costume is that you may already have many of the pieces necessary to create it. Even if you do have to buy a part of the costume, you can easily wear it again for everyday use. For a costume as simple as a kitty, there’s no need to by an expensive costume at the store. You’ll look better this way, anyway!
Spend Halloween day lazing around the house and licking yourself. Always get in the way of family members trying to do things and drink lots of milk. Sleep wherever you want, whenever you want.
Nickelback
Buy a poster-board from CVS or Rite-Aid. Cut it into a circle. Then paint it gray and write, “5¢” in a thick, black marker. Attach to the back of a T-shirt. You are now the pinnacle of our generation’s music experience, Nickelback.
Spend Halloween night like any other Nickelback fan would- locked in your room singing along to genius lyrics of “Photograph.” You will probably end up crying as a result of Chad Kroeger’s beautiful voice and fall asleep on the floor alone.
There you have it! Simple, affordable costume ideas. Remember Barons, keep it classy!
