Halloween Costume Ideas 2020 have arrived
It feels like October just started, but Halloween is already creeping up on us. While we may not be celebrating Halloween the traditional way this year, that doesn’t mean we can’t get into the spirit of things! If you’re looking for last-minute Halloween costume ideas in 2020, you’ve come to the right place. We love a good DIY costume, as seen in our blog post from last Halloween. Instead of buying a costume for only one night, find a style you can re-wear all year round. We used some of our favorite plus size styles to create effortless costumes that can seamlessly fit into your wardrobe after the holiday.
Calling all party girls
This Halloween, put a retro spin on one of our favorite faux wrap dresses. Our Aria Tie Dress is the perfect plus size style to create a retro party girl costume. With an eye-catching green chain link print, this wrap dress pairs perfectly with white boots, 60’s inspired white framed glasses, and statement earrings. Style your hair with extra volume (hello, hairspray!) and have fun creating a retro makeup look. We suggest using white eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and exaggerated lashes. Complete your party girl look with a nude lip and you’re ready to go! Adorned with a timeless print, this dress is sure to be worn way past Halloween.
Look expensive in lace this Halloween
If you’ve been shopping with us for a while, then there’s a possibility you have our Screen Siren Lace Evening Gown sitting in your closet. Take this lace dress for a spin and be the Hallow-queen you’ve always wanted to be! This plus size costume idea lends itself to a lot of creativity, but if you want to keep it simple, we suggest hitting your local dollar store for a crown you can spray paint black at home. You’ll also need a queen’s wand, of course. If you really want to add some drama, you can also add a cape. Wear your hair as desired, and really have fun with your makeup. Complete your look with a combination of a smokey eye and dark lip. People will be begging to know where you bought your amazing costume on social media.
A classic spin on a classic dress
Take the classic route this Halloween and recreate a vintage socialite costume with our Lacey Cocktail Dress. Accessorize this cocktail dress with a set of pearls, white gloves, and a small tiara (another accessory you can find at your dollar store). Also, increase the classic elegance of this ensemble with black heels and a black clutch. Style your hair up in a loose, but polished bun (bangs optional) and add your tiara. For your makeup, go for a classic cat eye and soft pink blush. This plus size Halloween costume can also work with our Luna Lace Dress.
Friendly skies await
Another great plus size costume idea that you can put together in a pinch is a flight attendant. All you’ll need for this costume is our Priscilla Knit Pencil Skirt, a classic white button-down blouse, a neck scarf, and a wings pin. Style your hair as desired (we always like a polished ponytail for this idea) and wear your makeup on the natural side with a berry lip. Complete your flight attendant costume with a small piece of luggage and a passport holder. You’ll look ready to fly those friendly skies!
A whimsical Halloween costume
This year, we debuted our Athena Cold Shoulder Maxi Dress. If you own this dress, you’ve got the perfect launching point for a forest fairy costume. With a timeless watercolor leaf print, you’ll only need a few accessories to complete your look. Simply add a pair of fairy wings, a wand, and a flower crown. For your makeup, go for a whimsical look with green eyeshadow with jewels and shimmer. Add a soft pink blush and finish your look with a pink lip. Style your hair in soft waves for a truly magical and dreamlike look.
Halloween costume ideas in 2020 need masks…
DIY Halloween costumes are all about having fun and being creative. Before you go out and spend money on a costume, take a look inside your closet first and see if anything inspires you. With a little imagination and some accessories, you can really create some great costumes that are eco-friendly and will save you a little cash. Most importantly, have fun! Lastly, if you’re looking for a protective face mask for Halloween 2020, we have some spooktacular, limited-edition masks that will keep you and your loved ones safe this holiday. We hope you have a spooky and safe Halloween!
