What's the secret to a fabulous Halloween costume for the frugal? Accessories! Whether your costume style is silly or sassy, try these tips for a cool costume that is under $50.
Here's the trick: buy a thematic accessory or two to make your costume statement and then complete the look with clothes from your wardrobe.
1. Halloween Hats
Bewitch all that cross your path by wearing a grand light-up witch hat and sleek black outfit.
Get laughs with a novel turkey hat and dress as a chef or cook.
2. Boas and Bling
Gals can get flashy with a light-up boa, pink marabou tiara and a pink outfit.
Guys can light up the night with an LED baseball cap and their favorite team’s T-shirt.
3. Dressed Up and Dead
Go for a graveyard look by covering your face with bluish-gray make-up and dressing in a suit or dress.
Be a zombie with green face make-up and old clothes.
4. Wig Out
Depict your favorite decade with a wig, from 1980s punk styles and mullets, to ‘70s blonde feathered hair, to a fab ‘60s fro. Check your wardrobe for clothes from days gone by and then pick a suitable wig.
Rock out with a bright blue wig or boa wig and don your best leather and sequined clothes.
5. Masks
Perhaps the easiest way to go on Halloween is to simply put on a mask. Make it a good one! Try a scary clown, caveman or old hag to look absolutely ghastly at your Halloween Party.
