Q&A for How to Choose a Halloween Costume

They are both good ideas. Alice seems less common, but you should choose your favorite. You could also go by hair color so you don't have to wear a wig - be Alice if you're blond, be Dorothy if you have dark hair.

Of course! You can be the same character as many times as you'd like. You'll even save money on costumes.

If you prefer elegance and a sense of mystery, go with the fox. If you align more with a rugged and adventurous persona, the raccoon is a better choice. If neither fully resonates, trust your instincts and choose the one you feel best embodies your personality.

You can be whichever you prefer. You can even try combining the two costumes.

Sure, if you have some new ideas, give it a try. It's totally fine to do a variation on a costume you've already worn before.

You could dress as a vintage party-goer by pairing your neon top hat and bow tie with a tuxedo suit or a fluffy gown in matching colors. Adding some shutter shades could complete the look.

Well, by the time Halloween comes around, if you do not have the materials or the actual costume to join your friends then go with your original idea.

A dark spirit (robe, dark makeup, etc); it's a good balance of scary and pretty, as you get to show off makeup skills.

A wolf costume is a great option because it's simple; you can use just ears and a tail. Plus, it can be adapted to be more or less revealing based on your preference.

If you're a calm, outdoorsy person, consider the deer costume. For an action and crime investigation vibe, go with the cop. If you're into sports, the boxer could be a great choice. For a traditional Halloween feel, the scarecrow is ideal.

If you prefer being sneaky and stealthy, go for the ninja. If you like black and punk styles, choose goth. If you want a more traditional costume, opt for the vampire.

It's up to you. Those are both great costumes. Try asking friends and family for help, or mix them up. A witch-vampire could be cool.

To dress as a cat, you'll need a tail, cat ears, and gloves with paw prints if desired. Adding a cute pair of shoes can complete the look.

You can try mixing and matching up brown, orange, grey, or yellow tops and pants. You can also try a onesie or whole suit that covers your entire body. Don't forget to add a tail and ears. Makeup or props are optional. Soft and furry fabrics on your costume are recommended.

If you prefer a sporty or girly look, go with a cheerleader costume. If you're drawn to a darker or more traditional theme, a vampire costume would be a great choice.

You can decorate your hat, coat, and scarf to integrate them into your costume.

Choose contact lenses in colors that complement your costume, such as dark purple or blue for a gothic look. Select shades that enhance your outfit while maintaining the desired theme.

It depends on how much walking you do. If there's a lot of distance between classes, your feet will probably be quite sore by the end of the day.

Yes, you can dress as an OC, but be prepared to explain your character to those who may not recognize it.

Yes, you could. Nobody will be mad if you are the same thing two times in a row.

You could always wear tights or dark pants underneath your dress, or have a dark/lacy pullover. You could also go as a more "modern" style witch and wear something a little more like your regular (warm) clothes.

Any of these are great ideas! Ask your friends and family for advice for you specifically though. Glinda would probably be the best choice, since she is majestic and you would stand out, but Dorothy and a cupcake fairy princess are also good choices.

You could dress as a fox! Whether it's a red fox, arctic fox, or a Fennec fox, they all have feminine features. Plus, they fit the animal theme. If you're not keen on foxes, consider searching for other animals with a feminine appearance.

You don't have to if you don't want to. It's not like a law, and it's just for fun. You can sit back and watch everyone trick or treat if you would like to.

If you want to look majestic and strong, choose the eagle. If you prefer to appear wise and clever, go with the owl.

If you want a graceful and soft look, go for the pigeon/dove. If you want to appear strong, bold, and brave, choose the eagle. You can also decide based on color: if you prefer grey, white, or purple, choose the pigeon; if you prefer shades of brown, choose the eagle.

The best option would be to dress as Ariel because she's both a mermaid and a princess.

You might consider Mulan if you have dark or black hair, Rapunzel for long blonde hair, Sleeping Beauty for short blonde hair, Elsa for white or light blonde hair, and Anna if you have ginger, dark brown, or light brown hair.

Choose Hannah if you are energetic, cheerful, and enjoy pop or country music. Opt for Tony if you prefer a tough, menacing character and have an interest in gangster themes.

Choose a rat costume if you want to portray a sneaky or tough character, or a mouse costume if you prefer a shy and gentle persona.
