Group, couple ideas simplify costumes
It's that time of year again—the time of year when we realize that we are sadly lacking Halloween costume ideas, leaving us scrambling at the last minute to find something for that costume party. But this year, don't scramble alone—your roommate can provide the perfect solution to your costume quandary.
Ladies, if you're feeling "Clueless" about what to do for a costume, find some short plaid skirts, blazers, knee-high socks and heels to
You don't need to be in a relationship to wear a two-person costume ("doctor") and "sexy nurse" don't scream originality, anyway). Grab your roommate and rope them into dressing up with you. And while one person dressing in all gray and another in all white could pass for a school spirited "rock" and "chalk," putting more thought into your costume will not only be more creative, it will save you from having to explain exactly what you are to every person who sees you.
Retro costumes that throw back to the days of college students' childhoods are a big trend this year. So why not incorporate this into your costume with your roommate? Not only will your costume be unique but will inspire many conversations about days gone by—an ice breaker if there ever was one.
dress up as Cher and Dionne from the classic 1995 film. Complete the look by finding a guy friend with a KU hat to be the Paul Rudd to your Alicia Silverstone.
If you and your roommate happen to look somewhat alike, find identical collared dresses that you don't mind splattering with fake blood. Adopt a blank stare and repeat the phrase "Come play with us, Danny" in a monotone voice to create a convincing Grady twins costume. Halloween is supposed to be scary, after all.
Guys, if you're lucky enough to get your hands on a suit, a "Men in Black" costume is only a pair of dark sunglasses away. Dress up a pen or laser pointer to create your own Neuralyzer.
There is nothing a woman loves more than a man in uniform. So for all of you men out there, channel your inner Maverick and Goose for a dashing costume idea. Grab some leather or bomber jackets, aviator sunglasses and blast "Highway to the Danger Zone" from your phone all night to complete the look. And if you find a girl who tells you to take her to bed or leave her forever, you have found a keeper, gentleman.
I have found a step up.
And don't think that I've forgotten those of you with multiple roommates. Play along with the retro theme by dressing up as your favorite groups from the past decades.
Ladies, grab your girlfriends and
dress up as one of your favorite girls groups from the 90s. Decide which of you most embodies Sporty, Posh, Baby, Ginger and Scary and pull it all together to become the Spice Girls. Even better, if you can spontaneously perform "Wannabee," you'll be the life of the party. However, there is no need to limit your group costumes to real life celebrities. Grab some animal print from your closet and be the Cheetah Girls or utilize the colors green, pink and blue to create your own Powernuff Girls costumes.
Guys, take a new approach to the ever-popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume—wear blue orange, purple and red shirts, but tape pictures of da Vinci's, Donatello's, Michelangelos' and Raphael's most famous works to yourself to demonstrate that you are far more cultured than you appear. And of course, you can never go wrong with superhero costumes. Find one of your girl friends to complete an Avengers costume, or simply pick and choose among the hundreds of comic book superheroes (and villains) available to you.
With costumes like these, you and your roommates are bound to be the talk of the party. After all, who wants to be anything generic for Halloween? With a little thought and blast from the past, you can create a costume that will be remembered for years to come.
