It happens—Halloween sneaks up on you, and there you are, the night before the big day, staring down a barren Halloween costume aisle at your local store. 

Not to worry! You can come up with some really cool last-minute Halloween costumes with stuff you probably already have in your closet—with a quick trip to your craft stash for a few basic supplies. 

Extra bonus: Waiting until the last minute could get you a cheap Halloween costume idea that's still incredibly cute—and may still net you top prize at your Halloween party.

Throw Back Thursday Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes - Throwback Thursday
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

Can't tear yourself away from Instagram? Give #TBT a life beyond the screen (in the most literal fashion) by using adhesive letters—masking tape or cardboard cut outs will work, too—to spell "Thursday" on the backside of a T-shirt. Then, wrap a bandage around yourself. Top it off with moans about your aching back.

A Rose by Any Other Name Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - A Rose by Any Other Name
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

Even if your RSVP to the Halloween bash doesn't include a forbidden love interest, a nod to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in your last-minute Halloween costume will please any lit-loving friends.

Simply wear a rose-hued shirt, give yourself a name tag that displays any name but "Rose" (we're partial to "Violet" or even "Lily"), and tote a few roses along for the night. Don't want to carry a bouquet around at the party? (We don't blame you!) Iron on a rose patch or two, instead.

Catcher in the Rye Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Catcher in the Rye costume
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

No matter how hard you may try, you can't have a do-over for your teenage years (for better or for worse). You can spend the entirety of Halloween night reliving those glory days, though—if only just for a few hours. All you need is a catcher's mitt and a couple of pieces of rye bread. A name tag with "Holden" written on it ensures that even those who might not have done their required reading in high school know exactly what you are, too. An air of existential angst is optional.

Beat Around the Bushes Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Beat Around the Bush
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

So you're headed to a party where you don't really know anyone? Or maybe you just really don't want to have to answer the question "what are you dressed as?" over and over again? Slip on a green T-shirt and use safety pins or hot glue to fasten artificial leaves and foliage around the collar (or all over if you're feeling bold). Then add a pair of headphones and, much to the dismay of your fellow partygoers, ask indirect, vague questions all night long. Consider it the most perfect excuse for keeping awkward conversations to a minimum (you're welcome).

Breadwinner Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Breadwinner
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

Forget about what your salary actually is, because on Halloween it doesn't really matter. You're the breadwinner tonight! Wear a T-shirt in a bold primary color (yellow, blue, or red) and hang a gold medal around your neck (you could also pin a first place ribbon to the breast of your shirt). Then proudly carry around a loaf of bread (any variety will do). Just don't go buying rounds of drinks for all of your friends—unfortunately, you'll still have to face your real bank account once the party is over.

Chip on Your Shoulder Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Chip on Your Shoulder
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

If you're miffed about having to dress up for Halloween again this year, here's your chance to air any and all grievances … and pull together a last-minute costume at the same time. And, bonus: There's little-to-no effort involved in this one. Simply put on a T-shirt and tape a color-coordinated snack-sized bag of potato chips onto the shoulder. One thing you will definitely be happy about? With this costume on, you'll have a snack ready to go whenever the hunger pangs strike.

Self-Absorbed Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Self-Absorbed
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

It's generally not proper party etiquette to monopolize the small talk by telling stories about oneself all night long. (We know you're excited about your kid's latest report card, but do you think everyone else at the event is, too? Debatable.) But if it's Halloween and you have some unused kitchen sponges glued all over your T-shirt, you might (might) just get a pass. Starting all sentences with "I" is a required part of the getup … just don't blame us when people start to back away slowly.

Letterhead Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Letterhead
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

For the person who absolutely can't stand to dress up, but has a costume party they have to attend (read: work party and no more personal days left for the year). This costume is so easy that you can wear whatever you want, but still consider yourself dressed up and ready to go to the monster mash. Simply spell out "letter" with adhesive alphabet stickers (iron on letters or cardboard cut-outs attached with hot glue work, too) and place them on a plain baseball cap. Bonus points for anyone who scribbles a faux letter onto a white T-shirt and wears that too.

Copycat Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Copycat
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

If your go-to costume (year after year … after year) is a ghost or a witch, stray out of your comfort zone just a little bit and try this quick—and equally easy—cat costume this time around. Spell out "copy" with adhesive alphabet stickers (in a pinch, you could also cut out cardboard letters and use hot glue to attach them) and place them on a white T-shirt (or, opt for a black T-shirt with white letters). Don't forget to finish the look with your old standby ears and tail. Can a DIY Halloween costume get any easier?

Countryside Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Countryside
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

Satisfy your wanderlust (if only for one night) with a costume that comes together quicker than you could travel, well, just about anywhere. Simply purchase an accordion map—or, better yet, use one you already have on hand (because you have your smartphone for that now)—and then lay a blue T-shirt, folded in half, on top of the map. Trace out the outline, and cut. Safety pin the half map to one side of your body. If you'll be dancing the night away or running from house to house, use hot glue for a more secure costume.

Ghostwriter Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Ghostwriter costume
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

Breathe new life into a classic Halloween costume with this supremely simple upgrade. All you really need is an old white sheet you can spare (or, grab a new one from the clearance section at your local store). You'll still need to cut eyes and a mouth out of the white sheet, but two props—a pen and a writer's notebook—ensure the costume is different from the other friendly ghosts trick-or-treating with their kids. And because the costume wouldn't be complete without a solid pun, don't forget to tell everyone about all of the buzz your forthcoming boo-ography is getting.

Pickpocket

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Pickpocket
Credit: Philip Friedman; Soft styling: Mai Tran

Pretend to be an ordinary thief by gluing a multitude of colorful guitar picks to the front and back pockets of an old pair of jeans (the grungier the better!). Upgrade this last-minute Halloween costume with a black and white striped shirt, a mask, and a tote bag disguised as a money bag. Your Halloween party hosts need not worry about whether or not they should have invited you over though—this costume only sounds mischievous. In fact, the only thing we can condone stealing may be an extra cupcake (or two) from the dessert buffet.

Ceiling Fan Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Ceiling fan
Credit: James Wojcik

Ready? Okay! H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N! Go Halloween! Use adhesive letters (masking tape or a printout that's stapled or glued on will work in a pinch) to spell out "Go Ceiling!" across a plain T-shirt of any color.

Carry pom-poms or even clean mopheads. Don a high ponytail and a short pleated skirt to complete the look. A peppy, can't-bring-me-down attitude is optional, but highly encouraged. The only thing that could possibly make this last-minute Halloween costume even better? A few friends that can help you form your very own (and very official) squad.

Fork in the Road Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Fork in the road
Credit: james wojcik

So you don't want to dress up for Halloween this year, and you've made every excuse in the book as to why you can't: you don't have time to buy a costume, costumes are so expensive these days … we've heard them all. But everyone (yes, even you) has a black shirt tucked away in his or her closet that you can turn into an instant costume. Use white duct tape to make a line of dashes (your lane lines) that begins at the bottom of your shirt and ends at your collar. Fasten a plastic fork along the route.

Split P Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Split p
Credit: James Wojcik

Cut out a large p from a piece of green colored construction paper, and then cut it in half. Tape each half to either side of a zippered hoodie, so that the zipper appears to slice through the letter. And just so you don't have to field questions all night long, ensure everyone gets the joke by carrying a can of split pea soup along with you for the evening.

Pumpkin Pi

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Pumpkin pi
Credit: James Wojcik

For a costume that's subtle enough to wear to the office but infinitely more festive than your standard work wear, throw on an orange collared shirt, and then cut out a pi symbol from black paper (or print one out; just type option + p). Tape or safety pin the symbol onto your shirt.

Iron Chef Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Iron chef
Credit: James Wojcik

All you need for a clever Halloween costume is a chef's hat and an iron. You probably already have an iron. (You could also make a chef's hat out of white paper!) Bonus points for going all out and swapping the jeans and the tee for baggy chef's pants and a white coat or an apron.

Self-Portrait Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Large empty picture frame
Credit: Ryan McVay/Getty Images

Before the days of selfies there were self-portraits (we know, it's hard to imagine a world without selfies). This Halloween, keep your phone in your pocket (you can do it!) and carry a large, empty picture frame (minus the glass, of course). If you don't have a picture frame that works, make one out of cardboard and paint it gold, and hold it in front of your face.

The best part? You can wear whatever you want. In fact, we encourage you to show off your most stylish ensemble—it is your self-portrait, after all.

Bottleneck Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Bottleneck
Credit: James Wojcik

For some, dressing up for Halloween might feel just as torturous as a traffic bottleneck (maybe that's why you waited until the last minute?). But this costume is pretty painless—and you won't get heckled for not donning a costume. Simply grab an empty soda bottle from the recycling bin. Then, tie a string around its neck and loop the whole thing around yours. Complain all night about "traffic on the 501." The best part about this getup? It's easy to go straight from the office to the party, because you can pair the prop with whatever outfit you want.

Buccaneer Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Dollar bill
Credit: Jamie Chung

It takes an adventurous person—a buccaneer, really—to venture out on with a dollar bill taped to each ear. Now you've got a buck an ear. Love the idea but worried you're going to have to field a lot of questions about this particular costume? (What in the world are you?) Pirate-like clothing (raggedy black pants, a tucked in white T-shirt, a big belt, excessive jewelry) and an eye patch are totally optional, but will help people understand what you're dressed as.

Tickled Pink Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Pink feather boa
Credit: Steve Gorton/Getty Images

If your Halloween costume motto is "always glamorous, never scary" or "the simpler, the better," you'll love this fun, easy costume. Just wear your favorite pink dress and accessorize with a feather boa. Everyone will be, well, tickled pink when you show up dressed from head to toe in rose or fuchsia. Want to go all out? Buy a few bright pink boas and wrap them around a white dress borrowed from your closet. Secure with safety pins (or use hot glue if the dress is one you can part with). Now that's a fun costume that'll have people talking.

Cat Out of the Bag Costume

Easy last-minute Halloween costumes, ideas - Paper bag
Credit: Ryan McVay/Getty Images

Why dress up as a black cat when you can distinguish yourself from the other felines that are out and about in the neighborhood with this last-minute costume. The new variation on the old standby still requires a pit stop at the costume superstore to pick up cat ears and a tail (unless you already have a set at home). But the only other thing you'll need is an empty bag or a pillowcase. Bonus points for taking the time to master matching cat make-up for a look that's nothing but sheer purr-fection!

If you're really running out of time, this easy Halloween costume may only require a change of hairstyle. Top a button-down white shirt with a black dress or black skirt and cardigan, pair it with black tights and shoes, and do your hair in two tight braids. (Add a headless doll as a bonus accessory!)
