We get it, it’s fun to publicly bare your lingerie on the least judgemental night of the year, but might we also point out, nothing is realer than standing in line at a club in a French maid costume when it’s -20 degrees out. Save yourself the quarter life crisis and try a non-slutty costume so you can take pleasure in knowing that you’re not the school girl snuggling up to the Tarzan next to you to preserve body warmth.
Margot Tenenbaum
If you were looking for an excuse to buy a fur coat, you finally have it. All you need to transform into everyone’s favourite chain smoker is a fur coat, oxfords, a striped dress, hair pin, copious amounts of black eye liner, and a permanent scowl.
Frida Kahlo
What you’ll need is a patterned maxi, a flower crown, and all the gold jewelry you can get your hands on. Unibrow optional but encouraged.
Steve Jobs
Quite possibly the easiest costume in the world. Black turtleneck, mom jeans, and sneakers, and you’re on your way to building a tech empire.
Katniss Everdeen
If anyone proves that you don’t need to be half-naked to land the guy, it’s Katniss Everdeen. Badass through and through, she landed Peeta and Gale. So braid your hair, wear all black, and show up with a bow and arrow in hopes of finding yourself a Liam Hemsworth lookalike.
Scarlet Witch
Whoever thought one of the Olsens could transform into a superhero who actually made you want to pair black with red? To be an Avenger for the night, throw a red blazer on top of a black dress and pair with combat boots.
