I love doing Halloween costume round up posts because they always do SO WELL. Apparently, we all need a little help in the costume idea department. This year, I’m sharing some quick + easy halloween costume ideas that are both unique and SUPER easy to pull together. I have searched high and low throughout the archives of the world wide web and Pinterest to find you the best of the best. I love that you can easy pull together MOST of these from items you probably already have in your closet. The stuff you may not have on hand? I’m SURE you can pop into your local Goodwill and snag it up! Let’s dive into this!
12 Quick + Easy Halloween Costume Ideas
BAT
Friggen’ bats. I love halloween. (name that reference). All you need for this is a black dress, black fabric cut into the shape of wings, and black shoes.

WITCH
What’s more classic than a witch costume? It’ll always be a good one. Grab a black skirt, long sleeved tee, striped leggings, booties and a witch hat!
Shop this look:
ELEVEN FROM STRANGER THINGS
Is there anything more iconic? Probably not. Stranger Things swept the nation and for good reason! It’s a great costume for kids and adults. You need a light pink dress, white collared shirt, high top socks, black bomber jacket and sneakers. Don’t forget the signature blood drip (and some eggos, if you wanna be authentic).
Shop this look:
GUMBALL MACHINE
SO EASY and so cute. It requires a bit of DIY-ing but nothing major. Glue pompoms all over a basic white tee and make a simple 25 cent sign. Throw on some red pants and you are set!
Shop this look:
WEDNESDAY ADDAMS
AKA the queen of Halloween herself. You want to wear ALL the black: black dress, tights, shoes, and lipstick. Don’t forget her signature white collar and pigtail braids.
Shop this look:
ROBBER
Easy and timeless. All you need to grab is a black and white striped tee, black pants, a simple black mask and a fun money bag (easily DIY-able).
Shop this look:
WHERE’S WALDO
I always like this one. Perfect to do as a couple costume, too! Grab a red and white striped top, jeans, a red and white striped beanie and glasses.
Shop this look:
STARBUCKS CUP
I LOVE THIS ONE! One of my friends from college went as a Frappuccino and her fiancé at the time went as a barista. It was SO cute. All you need is a white infinity scarf, a light pink dress, a Starbucks logo (printed and cut out) and a green straw headband!!
Shop this look:
SCARECROW
Break out your favorite overalls and plaid button ups! This has to be the EASIEST one. If you don’t have overalls, you can definitely make it work with regular jeans. Grab a pair of cowboy boots, a few stray pieces of hay and a fun patchwork makeup look (try this simple one).
Shop this look:
ICE CREAM CONE
This one is FUN. You need a pink tee, a brown or tan pencil skirt, a polka dot scarf and a cherry headband. You can wear long sleeves and tights if it happens to be super chilly out. Be sure to wear nude heels to complete the look.
Shop this look:
AUDREY HEPBURN
Grab your pearls, darling! A sleek black dress, pearls, long vintage cigarette holder and sophisticated black heels are what make this outfit. Go all the way with a pair of cat eye sunglasses and a French twist in your hair.
Shop this look:
TINA BELCHER
This one makes me laugh because I am a huge fan of Bob’s Burgers. A blue top, black skirt, tall socks, sneakers, glasses and barrettes are all you need to make this costume a reality.

These costumes are fun, different and totally easy to recreate. Which is your favorite?!
