Instagram-Worthy Halloween Costumes, Minimal Effort

Halloween season is the season for spooks, mystery, and fun. It’s no time to stress out about what you’re going to dress-up as for all of those Halloween events you have planned.

For those of you who haven’t spent the last 11-months figuring out and preparing your costume for this year, this list should give you a few ideas— Happy Halloween!

Mia Wallace in ‘Pulp Fiction’

Unless you’ve done this costume before, there’s little reason not to. You can be stressed for time and still get this look to a T. All you need is a white oversized button-up, a black bob, and black pants.

The cigarette is fun, but completely optional. Pulp Fiction fans will know who you are either way. So, dance good on Halloween.

Skeleton

If you’re really pressed for time and have some serious make-up skills, maybe going for a skeleton look isn’t the worst idea. You can go two routes: colorful Dia de los Muertos style or incredibly aloof rocker.

They both require some intense handiwork with make-up, but the rockstar approach requires less work. Find yourself a nice leather jacket, some complimenting black attire and you’re set.

Joker Nurse

Fun, simple, and iconic? Sign us up. Batman fans will know who you are. Joker fans will know who you are. Heath Ledger fans will know who you are. Finding a nurse’s costume is practically cake.

Go for a green wig or color your own hair with cheap drugstore hair-dye, whichever you prefer. Draw on a crooked, red extended smile and get to that Halloween party.

Freddy Krueger

Don’t disregard this costume’s ease on account of his terrible face. You don’t need an expensive mask at all, honestly. Invest in some brown and red face-paint sticks and a little extra time to get ready— voila.

Throw on a grungy striped sweater you could undoubtedly pick up from a sibling’s closet or the thrift store and if you can find a brown fedora, that’s the cherry on top. The key to this easy costume is the color palette.

Go nuts with the face make-up.
