. Ghostwriter
Ghosts are a classic Halloween costume, and it’s easy to make your own outfit at home with just a white sheet and a pair of scissors. Simply add a notepad and a pen and you’ve levelled up your costume from ‘ghost’ to ‘ghostwriter’. Photo: Shutterstock

. Dr Pepper
You’ll be able to pick up a pair of fancy dress doctor’s scrubs from most costume shops (both in person or online), as well as a stethoscope. From there, all you need to do is make yourself a name tag that says Dr Pepper. Photo: Shutterstock

. Joe (You)
Netflix show You was one of the most talked about TV programmes earlier this year, when season two caused a stir. To dress up as the main character, Joe, you probably already have everything that you need in your wardrobe - a white t-shirt, a button up shirt. Photo: Netflix

4. Carole Baskin (Tiger King)
Tiger King was another viral Netflix sensation that everyone was talking about in the spring. For a Carole Baskin inspired costume, all you need is a pair of blue jeans, a bright floral top and a flower crown. Photo: Netflix

5. Breadwinner
Everyone loves a good pun based costume, and this one couldn’t be easier to put together - just get yourself some workout gear, some fake medals and a couple of bags of bread, and you’ve got yourself a costume as a ‘breadwinner’. Photo: Shutterstock

6. Regina George (Mean Girls)
There are many Mean Girls-inspired costumes that you could go for this Halloween - like the iconic ‘sexy Santa’ outfits, or Karen’s low-effort mouse costume (duh). The easiest, most unique - but still recognisable - costume would be to mimic when Cady tried, and failed, to embarrass Regina by cutting two holes in her vest, revealing her bra. All you need is a white vest, a purple bra and a pair of scissors, and you’re good to go. Photo: IMDb
