One can never go wrong with the classic pairing of angels and demons (Dan Brown pun not intended!). If you are going with a plus one, be it your best friend or special someone, one of you can channel over-the-top wings and white dress, while the others can dive down the dark side and opt for the classic red and black devilish look.

Favourite TV show character

TV show characters have inspired Halloween costumes for generations. Be it House of the Dragons, Stranger Things, or Squid Games characters, you have many options. If you really want to go overboard with your get-up, you can take inspiration from Bridgerton and get dressed as a belle from the Regency era.

Favourite Game Character

Gaming enthusiasts have a wide range of characters they can take inspiration from. Since Lara Croft and Mario Kart have been overdone for ages, Halloween fanatics can opt for ones that are anime-inspired like the Genshin Impact and Final Fantasy characters. The only downside is that it would require a lot of last-minute work.

Mythological figure

In their dire time of need, people often pray to their gods and goddesses to rescue them, especially when it comes to warding off ghosts. So what better way is there to get into the Halloween spirit than dressing up as your favourite mythological figure? From Medusa to Manasa, the options are endless.

Animal costumes

Looking for crazy fun? Try out hilarious animal costumes. If you want to channel tiny arms with a massive head, you are meant to be T-Rex, and if you want to hop around and be the life of the party, you can even take inspiration from Elle Woods's rabbit costume from Legally Blonde. However, the chances of renting/purchasing it now might be very slim as Halloween is only two days away.
