Finding a great Halloween costume that doesn’t require months of planning or a lump sum of money can feel downright impossible. If you’re on a budget, we’ve got your back this Halloween. All it takes is a second look at your wardrobe with a fresh set of eyes. To save you the last minute stressing, we’ve put together a list of costume ideas that won’t cost you a cent. 

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

Put on a little black dress and sunglasses, tie your hair in a bun and voila, costume done. If you’re hungry, swap the plate of breakfast for a bagged croissant to stay true to character.

Wednesday Addams

Wednesday Addams is perfect Halloween vibes. You’ll need a full black get-up and dark eyeshadow to pull off the iconic look. Don’t forget the pigtail braids.

IT Floating Balloon

Dress in all black and hold a red balloon. Bonus points if you have a black balaclava to seal the deal — and if you’re a real Canadian, you will.

Rosie the Riveter 

All it takes is a jean top, a red bandana, and a whole lot of attitude. If it’s good enough for Beyonce, it’s good enough for us.

Greaser

If you’re a Toronto local, you most definitely have everything you need for this costume already in your closet: black jeans, a leather jacket and a black tee. If you’re a guy, throw some extra product in your hair and bring a comb out with you. Ladies, throw on some red lipstick and curl those locks.

Where’s Waldo

Cher and Dionne

If you happen to have your old high school uniform skirt laying around, this will be an easy one. Make sure to wear high socks and, in true Clueless form, keep your phone at your ear at all times.
