What your Halloween costume should be based on your personality

You could probably be a little more imaginative but who really cares? Last year you were a bunny, the year before you were a leopard and now it’s the inaugural year of the fox. Your Halloween costumes follow tradition, so why break that now? Get your leotard out, dust off your cat ears and get your phone ready to take pics.

You probably bought a tartan tennis skirt when they came back in fashion last Winter and have worn it about twice, whatever. To capitalize on your purchase, in true Cher style, you’re having a makeover with the girls and whacking on your tartan skirt with a blazer of some sort. Who cares if they’re not exactly yellow, or matching, dressing as Cher will always mean you look really really hot. You’ll probably spend your night walking around asking: “Do you prefer ‘fashion victim’ or ‘ensemble-y challenged’?” whilst you criticize everyone else’s cat costumes.

You will be one of “those girls” who is going as everyone’s favorite villain and you literally could care less. You know you’ll do a better job at nailing Harley Quinn’s look anyway that no one else even stands a chance. When a stranger comments on how “unoriginal” or “basic” your outfit is respond by asking them if they planned on going as a douchebag or did it they run out of ideas.

You and your best friend are already inseparable and have come up with the perfect Halloween costume to match. Or you’re in a relationship. At some point in the night you will end up regretting this costume because your other half will end up getting more compliments on their look and you just got stuck with being their shitty sidekick. Either way your costume will be nothing without your other half by your side so you’ll end up glued to them the whole night because “Netflix” without “Chill” is just everyone’s Monday night.

You finished Stranger Things in one day and wouldn’t shut up about it at the time, you even considered shaving your head because Eleven looked so fucking badass. Around the same time you decided you were going to dress up as El this year because it would be super original… until every other girl that watched Stranger Things thought the same. You’ve been to your favorite thrift store and picked out a baby pink dress and you’ve got a freezer full of Eggos because they clearly make the best accessories. Only the true Elevens will ditch the blonde wig for a buzz cut.

You probably started thinking of what you could be during the last week on September, telling yourself this year’s going to be different, that your costume will be the perfect combination of cute and clever. Now it’s days until Halloween and you haven’t touched your “Halloween inspo” Pinterest board in weeks. Then you remember that witch hat or devil’s horns you’ve had for years and decide it will do. You’ve gotten to the point where you really don’t give a fuck anymore because you know you’ll just end up making out with a hot fireman anyway.

This one’s for the girl who has been a cat every year since she can remember and has had a lot of stick for not trying. If you’re dressing up as a Snapchat filter, you want everyone to notice. You’re really hoping everyone will appreciate the effort you’ve put in and praise you for looking good at the same time. Whether you’re the puppy, the deer or the one puking up a rainbow, you’ve had your facepaints ready practically since last Halloween and you’ve probably been practicing your look in front of YouTube tutorials. You can literally buy any form of bodysuit from American Apparel, throw on a bit of glitter and paint and you’ll be good to go.

You actually understand the meaning behind Halloween. You've been stocking up on fake blood all year round to create an unbelievable look that The Walking Dead makeup artists would be jealous of. Whether you're creeping in the background of everyone's photos or just unrecognizable, you're the type that nails Halloween, no expense spared.
