. 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
7. Party animal
Great for those of us who leave our costumes until the last minute - all your need is your best party clothes (a suit, nice dress, or similar) and an animal mask of your choosing. Photo: Shutterstock
8. Violet Beauregarde (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)
One of the five children who gets their hands on a golden ticket to enter Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, Violet meets her untimely end after chewing on a piece of gum that turns her into a giant blueberry. All you need is a blue jacket, some blue face paint and some chewing gum for this costume. Photo: IMDb
9. Sebastian and Mia (La La Land)
This is a perfect couple’s costume for you and your partner, and is very easy to put together - smart black trousers, white shirt and black tie for Sebastian, and a yellow dress for Mia. Photo: IMDb
10. Copycat
Another punny costume, you can put as much or as little effort into this one as you like, and it still works. For minimal effort, all you need are a pair of cat ears, a tail and a t-shirt with the word ‘copy’ on it. For maximum effort, you can go all out with cat make-up. Photo: Shutterstock
