Every year kids of all ages have to decide what the perfect costume is for them. From earth-toned deers to classics like princesses, all these costumes are exciting and creative options. Whether someone prefers fantasy or scary, there are costumes for everyone this year.  As Halloween 2024 approaches, here are our predictions of what the trendiest costumes are going to be.

• Cheetah 

With animal print coming back in fashion, being a Cheetah for Halloween has gained popularity because of its creative makeup and fun accessories. Additionally, this choice embodies a fierce vibe and it’s empowering for wearers to express a stylish look. 

• Mermaid 

Mermaid costumes have always been a popular costume amongst younger girls, but this Halloween we predict that this idea will make a comeback as a costume for teenage girls. There is a lot of room for creativity when it comes to dressing up as a mermaid, so girls can choose color schemes or designs they prefer. Also, being a mermaid can either be a group or individual costume.

• Deer

This year, we think being a deer is going to be a popular and trendy choice amongst girls. It’s a minimal effort costume that can just be elevated using makeup to draw spots on their faces. Antler headbands could also be added to take the costume to a whole other level. It could also be turned into a couple costume since a boy can dress up as a hunter, or into a group themed costume.

• Princess

Dressing up as a princess is always a classy and stylish option. There are a variety of options for girls, whether it’s a Disney princess like Moana or CInderella or characters from a movie like the Princess Bride, they are able to express their creativity. Their costumes can have vibrant or neutral colors, and be as detailed or simple as they want. 

• Top Gun 

 The movie Top Gun is known for its memorable characters and iconic quotes. The popular costume that demonstrates the characters in the movie is a green jumpsuit and aviator sunglasses. This is very easy for people to wear since it can be put together at the last minute with things that are usually found in the closet. This is a great costume and anyone who has a desire to be Top gun can wear it. 

• Cop and Prisoner

The cop and prisoner costume is a classic for couples. It’s very easy to assemble and can be funny. You don’t need lots of accessories for this costume which is very convenient because it’s usually a costume you wear with one other person. It also allows for creative variations such as adding handcuffs, metal chains, etc. 

• Frat Boys

A very classic look for Halloween is for guys and girls to dress up as Frat Boys. They could make their costume unique by changing up the accessories or shoes. In addition, they can add some props like a red solo cup or a trophy. This costume is perfect for last minute plans and ultimately great for Halloween spirit.  

This Halloween, expect to see a range of costumes that show creativity and personality.  No matter if someone chooses to be a fierce cheetah or a fashionable top gun costume, everyone is able to make lasting, festive memories. Overall, Halloween allows people to express themselves while celebrating an exciting and spooky holiday.
