With only six days left until Halloween, I’m sure you’re wondering if it’s even worth dressing up. I’m here to tell you that it is. This year’s festivities certainly won’t be the same, but you still deserve to celebrate in style. Here are eight last-minute costumes that you can execute and feel good about, even in the middle of a pandemic.
Simple: Easy But Impressive
White Lies
White lie themes have been all the rage this month on TikTok. This twist on two truths and a lie (minus the truths, of course) will give you plenty of talking points for a fun (socially distanced) night. Just write your funny or ironic lie on the white t-shirt, and you’re good to go.
What you’ll need:
1. A white t-shirt (this also works with tank tops)
2. Sharpie
3. A lie — for example, if you have a dog then write “I am a cat person”
Euphoria
The outfits from the HBO hit drama Euphoria are amazing, but the makeup looks are what really set the show apart from other teen dramas. Recreating looks from the show is a perfect costume for anyone who loves to be creative.What you’ll need:
2. Amy Serrano’s recreation tutorial of Maddy’s makeup looks
3. Face gem stickers (optional)

David and Stevie (Schitt’s Creek)

What you’ll need:
1. David
b. Black t-shirt

2. A wig cap
3. A cute outfit from your closet

1. A picture for inspiration
2. A trip to your local thrift store
3. Time to raid your mom’s closet (optional)
