5 Halloween "Costumes" If You Don't Feel Like Dressing Up

As Halloween is quickly approaching and COVID cases have been spiking, this year the holiday is going to look much different. If you don’t feel like going all out in an extravagant costume, there are so many ways you can transform pieces from your wardrobe to fit into an on-trend look for Halloween. Even if you want to dress up but don’t want to spend money on an outfit you most likely will wear once, by purchasing items that are more universal such as flannels, white dresses, or pleated skirts, you can implement more versatile pieces into your wardrobe that you can wear plenty of times.


This year, boyfriend jeans, flannels, headbands, and uniform-inspired skirts have been trending. It is easy to use pieces like this and transform them into cowgirl, schoolgirl, or even Mean Girls inspired outfits. If you don’t feel like dressing up, these looks could definitely be worn every day, especially if the colors you choose are more muted, with minimal accessories!
