With Halloween rapidly approaching, it’s time to figure out what costume to wear. This article will help you pick what to wear so you do not have to resort to those overused, basic costumes.

Instead of opting for the simple football or soccer player, try something more unique or recognizable. A timeless look to recreate is Patrick Bateman from American Psycho; all you need is his staple: a clear raincoat. Use hair gel to get his slicked-back look and don’t forget business casual clothes, like a tie, underneath the raincoat. 

For an easy, well-known look, put on a white shirt, black pants, and a blue apron, and now you are Chef Carmy from The Bear.

Forget about the cat costume or the last-minute skeleton makeup. With Coraline coming back to theaters, now is the perfect time to dress up as her. Get yourself a yellow raincoat, yellow boots, and a blue wig. Everyone will know exactly who you are and it just takes three simple pieces for an iconic look. 

Another unique costume that is on the rise is Beanie Babies. Put on any animal onesie and attach a red heart with the letters ‘ty’ on it and you’ve got yourself a trendy, creative Halloween costume. 

Dressing up as a Walmart Floorwalker will be sure to grab attention. You just need a blue vest and a name tag. Bonus points if you rock a price scanning device. 

Barbie is a topical costume that anyone will recognize. A pink shirt, pink pants, and a white cowboy hat will complete the look. 

If none of these options is appealing, for $39.99, you can purchase a Chipotle Bodysuit costume from Spirit Halloween. The options include a Chipotle fork, napkin, water cup, burrito, and even to-go bag.

Hopefully, this article gave you some ideas for good solo costumes to wear this Halloween. Stay tuned for the best duo costumes. Have a spook-errific Halloween!
