Scooby-Doo never goes out of style, in my opinion. Who doesn’t love solving mysteries?! Velma is the quintessential Brat: she has the brains and is unapologetically herself, even when she’s losing her glasses. So, if you get too drunk and lose your own pair don’t worry, it’s all part of the character.

4. Bad Bunny

By Bad Bunny, I don’t mean the King of Latin Trap, although he’d make a fantastic Halloween costume too. I’m talking about a sexy bad bunny. This costume is perfect for ladies celebrating the holiday at a club or party where a more seductive look is required.

With its playful yet alluring vibe, the sexy bad bunny costume is sure to turn heads and make a bold statement. Pair it with some over the knee boots and bold black lip to elevate the look and ensure you stand out in the crowd.

5. Thing 1 & Thing 2

Fun fact: I have an identical twin sister, and we still haven’t dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween. But after seeing @gracewriggts’ interpretation, this might be our year. If you’re searching for a coordinated bestie costume, this is a fantastic option.

Not only is it instantly recognizable and fun, but it also allows for a lot of creativity with bright blue wigs, playful outfits, and matching accessories. Whether you’re hitting the town or attending a themed party, dressing as Thing 1 and Thing 2 will surely make you and your bestie the life of the party.
