Some people spend months preparing while others go for a last-minute solution. To help you deal with the stress of picking out a costume for Halloween, we thought it would be helpful first to determine what personality you are when it comes to picking out a costume. Then comes the task of choosing a costume, creating it from scratch or throwing something on last minute.
All Out
No expense spared, months of preparation, and meticulous attention to detail characterizes your choice of costume. You want to wow others at the party (and preferably go to a fancy costume ball!), but you also enjoy the process of putting together the costume and seeking out just the right props to go with it.
Storm Trooper, $899.99
Creature Reacher Midnight Howler, $329
Always Sexy
You like to be the trick and the treat! You see Halloween as an opportunity to flaunt your progress at the gym and turn a few heads at the same time. You like the idea of dressing up as a conventionally sexy character and will either invest in a skimpy costume or modify and alter a regular costume, so it fits better and shows off the bod.
Sparta Costume, $80
Sexy policemen, $50
Go Goofy
Your childish soul comes out at Halloween, and you opt for a silly costume option that will put smiles on people’s faces. A funny costume is also the perfect opening for some light-hearted conversation and a way to talk to a lot of individuals at the Halloween party.
Linguine, Sausage and Meatballs Costume, $33
Go Stealth
You love the fact that you can be masked during Halloween and people may not recognize you right away. Maybe it’s your inner superhero or undercover agent that wants out – or maybe you just like the feeling of not being constrained by your inhibitions while wearing a mask.
Black Panther Costume, $56
Last Minute
Sure, you enjoy Halloween, but it always catches you a little off guard, and you never think ahead and plan a costume months in advance – who has the time, right? But, you’re also not the guy who doesn’t partake in the fun, so you buy or borrow a fun wig last minute, do a quick rummage through your closet, and voilá: you’re a Swedish tennis player!
Wig, $5
