Mobsters & Flapper
Many people are inspired by the past and relate it to the current decade to guide their costumes, harkening back to the sparkling “Jazz Age” of the 1920s. Trending currently are flapper dresses in all kinds of colors and styles for feminine costumes, and masculine costumes to honor the Roaring 20s include Zoot Suits and other classic mobster styles. If you’ve already got your main clothing items for your 20s-inspired costume, you can also make sure that you have every detail covered with 20s-themed accessories, too! Accessories to embellish your flapper outfit:
Decade-Specific Outfits
Of course, when we’re taking inspiration from history, that doesn’t always mean it has to be from a century ago! Other popular costumes that are becoming trendy are decade-specific garb, such as 80s outfits, 70s outfits, and even 60s outfits! These fun costumes are fun and gaining popularity because they’re relatively easy to put together, and with easy-to-find items like Gogo Boots, Fringed Vests, and Zebra-Patterned Leg Warmers, you’ll have a great time dressing up like your favorite past decade this Halloween!
Pop Culture Characters
Every year, Halloween costuming and cosplaying trends change and evolve due to the pop culture phenomena of that particular year, and 2022 is no exception! With many exciting movies, compelling shows, and nostalgia-driven reboots announced this year, Halloween costumes have evolved. If you’ve been following the shows that expand on either Tolkein’s universe or you’re avidly watching the new Game of Thrones spinoff, you’ll like a fantasy costume! Create your own dramatic look using items like Capes and Cloaks, elf ears, or a pre-braided wig. If you’re a fan of nostalgic spooky characters, you might like to dress like Beetlejuice or his would-be bride, Lydia.
Witches
Last, but certainly not least of the trends that we’ve been seeing in Halloween costumes is witches! As mentioned earlier, this year has been a memorable one in the media for reboots, nostalgic remakes, and even long-awaited sequels, such as Hocus Pocus 2! With this new movie release, Halloween is a great time to show off your love for Salem’s most powerful witches by dressing up as a witch yourself!
