It’s that time of year when you gotta decide what you’re going to be for Halloween. Ugh. If you’re already over it like we are there’s still some hope for all of us yet! We handpicked some popular adult-approved costumes that are tried-and-true and a guaranteed win. Oh – and majorly on sale too! Read on!
It’s safe to say that we’ve all had quite the year(s) thanks to the pandemic. We 100% missed last Halloween altogether and, to be honest, we didn’t even think about dressing up. Alas, we see the light at the end of the tunnel (thanks vaccine!), are ready to get back to normal, and long for the days when our biggest stress factors were surround picking out the perfect costume. How naive were we?!
Why is there always so much pressure on our costume choice every year?! Sometimes we want to be funny, sometimes we want to make a statement, sometimes we want to go the sexy route and, well, sometimes we want to do the most minimal costume we can find! Every site we’ve ever shopped always just show us the new “must-have” picks of the year but, let’s be real, that’s not us. We don’t want to look like everyone else and – well – we also don’t want to look like we tried too hard.
What’s the Trend This Year?!
Some of the most popular options are actually the same year after year. That’ll be things like Wonder Woman, the cast of Stranger Things, the cast of Black Panther, anything from Jurassic Park and, of course, all things Fortnite! The downside of shopping an early sale is that some of the “it” costumes of the new Halloween season may not be released yet. Those are usually available to purchase starting after Labor Day and continue to be released from October 1st and onward.
This year, since we’re moving past the pandemic, we’re choosing some new themes to focus on like:
- Nostalgic Everything – Let’s go back to those simpler times that just made us feel good.
- Total Empowerment – We are all the superheroes this year just for surviving.
- Minimalist – Totally over it? A funny, yet simple, t-shirt is cheap, easy, and will get a quick laugh.
