Honestly, you may not need much beyond a black striped or checked shirt and black hat for this simple collegiate Halloween costume, though you can get one pretty cheaply here if you need a mask. To achieve this costume inspired by the video for Happy Than Ever, all you really need is a loose-fitting graphic T-shirt, something you might see Billie Eilish wearing in her music video.

It is a pretty solo costume, but if you can convince a bunch of girls to make this one with you for their own Biker Gang, that is even better. This seems an obvious one, but if you are looking for a group costume, get some friends together and go all-out like a Squid game worker. Another Halloween costume that is sure to get noticed, at least by women, is a Squid Game-series Lifeguard.

Squid Game costume

It is not surprising a Squid Game costume would be one of the more popular costumes for Halloween. Netflix Squid Game is probably the most popular Netflix production, and the distinctive green-and-red onesie seen on the show is going to probably be one of the most popular costumes for this Halloween. What makes the Squid Game series one of the best sources for Halloween costume ideas for men in 2022 is that you can find ideas for both elaborate and simple Halloween costumes for men there.

The most popular male Halloween costume of all time is the vampire, whereas women mostly choose to transform into the witch. Some celebrities rock costumes inspired by classic Halloween movies, such as 2020s Halsey Corpse Bride.

A jacket or a jumpsuit

Another fun idea is to raid the closet of the houses Sorority Sisters costume shop, or maybe even the closet of Momas, to find a 1980s-inspired dress to wear for the night. You could try out one of their vintage costumes from early episodes (I personally like Wandaas pregnant 1970s one) or even go meta and try on one of their hilarious Halloween costumes from Netflix as the biggest ever series. While you can buy Marvel Cinematic Universe costumes at stores, pretty much anywhere that sells costumes, their superhero looks are fairly simple to pull off on your own.

If you did not get into the Hawaiian shirt trend last summer, Stranger Things fans can rock this look on Halloween with a low-key costume that does not require giant masks, fake blood, or any sort of uncomfortable polyester. Audreys Breakfast At Tiffany's look, complete with her long black smoking cap and black gloves, certainly makes the most iconic outfit. This lovely homage to DCs earliest Harley Quinn comic roots recreates a classic Scarlet Witch costume in High Halloween form, complete with pink tights and red boots. Notorious for everybody's favorite Halloween look as a Supermodel, as well as her infamous.

Halloween party, Heidi Klum

Halloween party, Heidi Klum is nearly unrecognizable in her Marilyn costume. You could go with the Ninjas for your best friend's Halloween costumes, since they are so enigmatic and disguised, no one would ever guess who is behind that cape (assuming, of course, you are a body type like it). Well, while this is not the same thing as the Hen Party, you could still rock something like the policeman uniform.
