How to turn your comfy clothes into a Halloween costume
Halloween is just around the corner and if you’re still looking for a costume, we’ve got you covered.
While it can be fun to dress up in pop culture-inspired costumes, many of us are feeling a little too lazy to put in the effort to change out of our sweatpants.
That’s why we’ve come up with a list of costume ideas that transform your athleisure into a costume — so you can look like you tried without really trying too hard (and while staying super comfy).
Costumes with sweatpants, leggings
Rocky: Pop on a grey sweatsuit and some boxing gloves and you’re ready to knock out the costume competition with a Rocky Balboa-inspired look. Kim Kardashian: Style up your leggings like the Skims queen herself and be a Kardashian for a night. Anything monochrome works best. Style you hair long and flowy (or get a wig that does the same) and tie it together with some heels. Cat: Some call it basic, we call it classic. Nothing is easier than putting on some black leggings, a black long-sleeved shirt, a catear headband and painting on some whiskers.
Costumes with gym shorts Billie Eilish: If you want to go with shorts, no problem! Pop some on with a matching oversized sweatshirt and a green wig to look like the “Ocean Eyes” singer.
VSCO girl: Become the living meme by pairing Nike shorts with an oversized sweatshirt and scrunchies. Bonus if you accessorize with a Hydroflask to sip out of throughout the night.
Lady Di: Bring out your inner royal by dressing in Princess Diana’s iconic biker short and sweatshirt combo. She often paired the look with long socks, lace-up shoes and a tote.
Costumes with other athleisure
Ted Lasso: A blue tracksuit, visor and whistle is all you need to transform into Jason Sudeikis’s character from the award-winning TV series about a smalltime American football coach. Add a moustache for a little extra flair.
Paris Hilton: Y2K fashion is back in style, which means it’s time to dust off your old velour tracksuits and rock a Paris Hilton-inspired look for Halloween.
‘Mean Girls’ mom: If you have a pink tracksuit in your closet, you can also dress up as Mrs. George, Regina’s mom from “Mean Girls.” Just add a blond wig and necklace to complete the look.
Met gala quilt: Does a blanket count as comfy clothes? We’ve definitely been using them while working from home during the pandemic, so We’re adding a bonus costume inspired by ASAP Rocky’s Met Gala look. Throw your Grandma’s favourite quilt over your shoulders for a cosy and celeb-approved Halloween look.
