Halloween is Saturday, Oct. 31, and somehow you still don\u2019t have a costume. Between midterms, club meetings and that group project that will not end, planning an outfit has slipped to the bottom of your to-do list. We get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good news: You don\u2019t need to place a last-minute online order or make a trip to a costume superstore. Most of these looks come straight from your closet (or your roommate\u2019s). Here are eight ideas you can pull together in an hour or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You go to Syracuse University. No doubt, you own something orange. Wear it from head to toe and pin a green leaf cut from paper or felt near your collar or on your head. Congratulations, you are officially a piece of fruit! Bonus points if you introduce yourself as \u201cfreshly squeezed\u201d all night! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeans, a denim jacket or button-down shirt, a bandana and boots. That\u2019s the whole costume. If you have a cowboy hat left over from a concert or theme party, let it shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Draw or print a cookie, tape it to a plain T-shirt and add a pair of glasses. Low effort, high payoff and perfect if you\u2019re heading out straight from Bird Library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grab the loudest patterned shirt you own, a pair of sunglasses, a fanny pack, then hold your phone up like you\u2019re filming everything. Socks with sandals are optional but strongly encouraged. Throw a puffer jacket on top because it\u2019s still October in Central New York and you don\u2019t want to be the frozen tourist on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one is for your group of friends. Every friend picks one solid color, wears it from head to toe and tapes a paper label with their color name across their chest. Line up for photos, and you have the ultimate crayon box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A classic for a reason. Wear an all-black outfit, add cat ears (a headband and some cardstock works fine) and draw three eyeliner whiskers on each cheek. Done in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing like a historic icon! Put on a denim shirt with the sleeves rolled up, tie a red bandana in your hair and add red lipstick if you like. Flex your arm in every single photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leggings, an oversized T-shirt knotted at the side, a bright workout headband and tall socks pulled up high. Put a workout playlist on and never break character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check your own closet first, and then check your friends\u2019 closets. A quick costume swap in your residence hall lounge can solve almost everything. Still missing a bandana or a loud shirt? Thrifting is a budget-friendly and sustainable option. 3fifteen in Marshall Square Mall<\/a> is right off campus, and The Peel\u2019s \u201cThrifting Tips and Tricks\u201d<\/a> has advice on shopping smart and shopping respectfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your look is ready, find somewhere to wear it.
