2021 Halloween costume trends
October 19, 2021
Every year, Halloween tends to illustrate the latest trends, whether it’s a new show that came out prior or a Tiktok trend. As 2021 has been full of many trends there have been many trendy Halloween costumes to uncover. The show Outer Banks on Netflix has been popular throughout 2021, along with the new favorite: Squid Games. What better way to express your addiction for these things than bringing them to life through costume?
Starting off is the popular Netflix show Outer Banks. To capture the look of this show, you can style your favorite bandana and choose any of the main characters to finish the look. This look involves Hawaiian-styled buttoned up shirts for the boys and a casual Free People tank for the girls. The popular couple in the show and in real life would be the perfect couples costume. Whether you want to go for the more sophisticated Val and Vlad look, or the typical everyday John B and Sarah Cameron look, you will look good and adventurous.
Another popular show that recently aired is Squid Games. This look can go two ways: the player or the men in masks. The look of the player is captured by a casual blue zip-up and a basic white t-shirt. This makes this costume super simple and easy to replicate with things around the house. Another route you could take is the men in masques. This costume is more Halloween themed, as masques are the perfect costume and even add a spooky affect.
Not only are shows trending, but many celebrities are too. As seen in many Tiktoks and fashion articles, the Met Gala had both questionable and rightfully suited looks. What better way to fan over your favorite celebrity than recreating their look yourself for Halloween? Some of the best looks were from popular supermodel Kendall Jenner and celebrity Kim Kardashian. Kendall Jenner’s look was rather sophisticated and stunning. She was frosted head to toe in sheer fabric. The accents of crystals and glistening diamonds was breathtaking. This look would be easily rocked at a Halloween party or dinner. Kim Kardashian’s look goes down a different route being more dark and scary. The look illustrates the illusion of darkness as the outfit is head to toe black and even tops it off with a mask covering the face. Once again, masks are the perfect way to pull off a scary yet exciting look.
Sometimes it can be dreadful coming up with a clever yet cute Halloween costume. Here are some simple ones that are not only unique, but super cute:
Cute costumes for high school boys and girls could be a frat boy, an astronaut, a character from the Purge, a police officer, a mummy, a race car driver or even the guy from Risky Business who slides around in a buttoned-up shirt and high-ankle socks.
Costumes are fun on their own, but they’re also fun to do with a friend or partner. Some partner costumes include: NHL player and the stanley cup, astronaut and alien, Bonnie and Clyde and, for your best girlfriend, Cher and Dionne from the classic movie Clueless.
