As the creepiest festival of the year approaches, you might be on a pool float one moment and jamming to Halloween music the next. There's a good probability that you'll start thinking about outfits as you prepare for the big day. Though it's more likely that you've left preparing until the last minute, you might have that outfit figured out with your best friend or have the perfect couple's costume picked out. You're aware of the way things work. There's nearly always one costume party that sneaks up on you.

Holly Golightly

It's simple to channel Holly Golightly by going through your closet and finding your most beautiful black dress, lovely jewelry, black shoes, and a set of sunglasses. You can order a tiara and a set of black gloves within two shipping days.

Lobster

A lobster costume is quite stylish. It's also simple: a modest piece of red pom-pom and some paint are used to transform a red frying mitt into a claw, which is then pinned to the bottom of a chic red dress.

Social Butterfly

With this original last-minute costume, you're sure to receive likes. Put on your regular clothes, then add some wings. Afterward, print a few of your preferred social networking logos and pin them to your attire.

Vampire Costume

Pull out your favorite dress, apply a full face of makeup, and insert some fangs to become a bloodthirsty vampire.

Velma from Scooby Doo

Find a warm sweatshirt and a flowing skirt in your closet. For optimum impact, consider including your dog's friend and some striped knee socks.
