How to Build the Perfect Last-Minute Halloween Costume
It’s the scariest time of year again, but not because of Halloween — it’s because you don’t know what you’ll be dressing up as this year! If you’re stressing over your Halloween costume, look no further: Buffalo Exchange is here with tricks and treats to make this year’s last minute Halloween costume one to remember! Keep reading for some thrilling tips…if you dare!
Tip #1: Haunt Your Closet
You might not believe it, but your closet could hold an endless supply of last-minute Halloween costume options! Classic costumes like witches, vampires and zombies can easily be assembled from your current wardrobe and accessories. Not only does this give you an easy way to create a costume, but it will also be unique to your personal style and vibe. Dust off the cobwebs from some of your past-favorite pieces and make something out of them (or trade them for something new-to-you at your local Buffalo Exchange.)
Tip #2: Missing Something? Summon Buffalo Exchange!
Now, you might not have everything in your closet, even after raiding it down to the bone. That’s where Buffalo Exchange comes in and offers a huge amount of clothing, costume accessories and more! Whether you come in with a plan for your last minute Halloween costume or are looking for inspo, you could find the perfect pieces to bring your vision to life. If you need some extra assistance creating your costume, our staff is always happy to help style you!
Tip #3: Keep It Scarily Simple
It’s easy to scroll for the latest Halloween trends and see a variety of costumes that had hours (if not days or weeks!) of work put into them, but a simple last-minute Halloween costume can make just as much of a lasting impression. Think about it: find yourself some overalls, a yellow tee and a beanie, and you’re a minion! Brainstorm with your besties and find Halloween costume inspiration in conic movies like Barbie, BeetleJuice or even viral internet memes (yes, you CAN be Moo Deng this year)!
Tip #4: Remember to Have a Ghoul Time!
Our most important tip for creating a last minute Halloween costume? Although it can feel high-stakes, Halloween is not something to stress over—it’s a time to create a unique costume that you can look back at and have a good laugh (or a scream, if that’s more your style.) The best costumes come from spontaneity, experimentation and creativity—in other words, they’re fully Frankensteined! Just remember to prioritize having fun with creating your costume and you’ll have a howling-good Halloween. If shopping at Buffalo Exchange helped bring your costume to life, be sure to take pictures and tag us on Instagram—Happy Halloween!
