Us grownups love any excuse to be able to play and have fun like a kid again and Halloween is the perfect time of year to both get to have a little child-like fun but to also express yourself in creative and unique ways. This year, instead of buying some overpriced costume right off the rack, why not make your own? You can save money while having fun at the same time! It’s a win win. Here are some of our top picks for DIY costumes this year.

Ray Gunn, The Olympic Breakdancing Champ

The Olympics may be over, but our obsession with RayGun’s barn-burning breakdance performance at the Olympic stage is FAR from over. If you have a green tracksuit and a goofy wig with wavy brown hair, then you’re in business! Now you just need to practice your signature moves. Bonus: If you see other people dressed up as this iconic dancer, then you can challenge them to a breakdancing competition to finally see if you can get that elusive gold medal.

Barbie or Ken

These characters are really making a comeback! This costume is relatively easy to put together because they both wear some version of street clothes, but with a twist. Go for bright pink clothes with lots of accessories like fake plastic jewelry, sunglasses, purses, etc.

A “Ghosted” Text Message

A simple and silly costume that is easy to make and will have people laughing and wincing at the same time. You Just have to wear your everyday clothes but then pin a speech bubble cutout that reads, "You've been ghosted" along with other cutouts that say “read” or “...” or whatever else you’d like. Have fun with it!

Characters From “The Office”

This show is always on people’s minds and there are so many opportunities for a great (and easy) DIY costume. You can dress up as Michael Scott from your favorite season (bonus points for Season 1) or you can even go meta and dress up as one of The Office characters in one of their Halloween costumes from the show, including “Three Hole Punch Jim.”

Mario Or Luigi (Super Mario Brothers)

If you have a friend or partner that you’d like to do a duo costume with, then this is perfect for you! Luckily, the iconic brothers have a relatively simple wardrobe to copy. You will just need some overalls and a red or green shirt, gloves, and a hat. Bonus points if you can pull off the signature mustache!
