Halloween is just around the corner, which means it is time to get your costume ideas ready. If you are struggling with an idea of what to do, look at this list of top costumes for this year.
The first things you can think about are the popular movies that have come out this year. If you are a Disney fan, you can look into dressing up as Aladdin characters like Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and Genie. Toy Story 4 and The Lion King also came out so Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Simba and Nala are great choices. Marvel characters will likely be very popular this year as well, since Avengers: Endgame came out, as well as Captain Marvel. Harry Potter continues to be a huge trend for many people because of their love for the series.
Another thing to consider would be your favorite TV shows. According to Lauren Harano at popsugar.com, Game of Thrones costumes are a good choice for this year. Stranger Things and Riverdale are also popular shows in which you may find inspiration this year.
You can also look at pop culture as an option for the best Halloween costumes. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry would be a cute idea for a couples costume if you are looking for something fun and new. You may also consider being The Bachelor or The Bachelorette to see who will accept your rose. Another idea that I found that could be popular comes from Lauren Harano at popsugar.com: dressing up as Taylor Swift from her “You Need to Calm Down” video.
You can never be too old for classic costumes. Witches, pirates, pumpkins and scarecrows are all popular and easy to recreate. Aliens and Starbucks coffees have also seen a rise in the past few years with college students.
Whatever your style, be sure to pick something that speaks to you and your personality. Just have fun and the world will enjoy with you.
