'Tis the season to be spooky after all but for those with feeling the "less is more" vibe this year, here are a bunch of easy Halloween costumes to inspire you, along with shoppable picks to help you get your outfit right. Who's ready to dress up (with minimal effort)?
Easy Halloween costumes for adults
1. 'Barbie'
It's a pretty safe bet that we're going to see endless iterations of Margot Robbie's roller-skating, patriarchy-busting Barbie this October 31, especially in her iconic Cowgirl get-up.
This outfit is an easy co-ord, that even without Barbie's blonde locks, will be a recognizable ode to the film.
2. 'The Little Mermaid'
Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey as Ariel sparked many a 'Mermaidcore'-related trend this year. So, no doubt you're likely already well equipped with some shimmering ocean-themed accessories for a mermaid look on the fly, or at the very least, you'll be able to find a costume pretty easily—thanks to all the buzz around the movie.
All you really need is a purple top or bralette and a sea-foam green skirt or pants for a really straightforward Ariel-inspired look.
3. '13 Going on 30'
Put your hair in a messy bun, throw on a statement necklace and get into this multicolor dress. Boom! Jenna Rink! The striped design and cut-out feature will make you feel as though you've stepped back into 2004.
4. 'Wednesday'
Wednesday Addams never goes out of style, no matter the generation of Addams you love (personally we can't wait for Wednesday season 2) and thanks to her affinity with monochromatic outfits, you need only throw on a black dress to embody her moody, gothic vibe.
5. 'IT'
You'll be the best-dressed lady this side of the sewer with a bright-yellow raincoat à la Georgie. All you need is to pair this lightweight, zippered number with your favorite galoshes and you'll be mistaken for a resident of Derry, Maine.
6. 'The Bachelorette'
A sparkly sequin number and a few red roses are all you need to channel your favorite reality TV show. Just make sure you hand out those florals accordingly, ladies. To dial up the spooky factor, pair it with one of these Halloween nail designs.
7. 'Bridgerton'
We certainly hope you find the perfect costume that's all things spooky and comfy! If you need us, you can find us at the party next to the candy apples. We'll be the ones dressed like Pennywise's next meal.
