With Halloween around the corner, the time for costume plotting and shopping has officially arrived. Lining up multiple outfits for Halloweekend can be overwhelming. Whether you’re looking for something funny, spooky, or sexy, I’ve got you covered. Here are 90 college-appropriate costume ideas, many of which you probably already own or could pull together for less than $25.
PS: Don’t forget to check out local thrift stores and costume shops for one-of-a-kind treasures. My favorites in New Orleans are Salvation Army, Red White & Blue, Funky Monkey, Uptown Costume & Dancewear, Big Star Vintage & Costume, and Magpie Vintage.
