LIFE

Spooky season is *finally* here and even though trick-or-treating might be off the table this year where you live, dressing up is most definitely not. Whether you're going to hold a Zoom party with your besties or do a small get-together for a photo op, we've got eight easy group costumes your squad can *totally* rock this Halloween.

Ty Beanies

If you're just planning to have a virtual Netflix party and watch old Halloween flicks with your besties, this is the costume for you. We all *heart* those adorable Ty beanies that we have lying around our rooms. To dress up as one, each squad member will need a cozy animal onesie. Then you can DIY your own "ty" tags out of construction paper and ribbon. Wear the tag around your neck and now you're all set for a *super* comfy and cozy Halloween night in with your BFFs.

Hogwarts Students

We *know* you've been on Harry Potter TikTok the past couple weeks (we have too), so there is no better time than now to show off your inner Potterhead. Be a Hogwarts student this Halloween by wearing a white shirt tucked into a black skirt or pants. Iron a patch like this one that shows off your Hogwarts house onto a sweater or blazer to throw over your shirt. You can rep your house even more by wearing a tie, headband or scarf with your house's colors. Don't forget to make a Harry Potter POV TikTok while you're at it!

Hydro Flasks

Remember VSCO girl TikTok? This costume works great for larger groups because there are so many colors you can choose from, and it's a simple DIY *anyone* can do, no matter their DIY expertise. Print out Hydro Flask logos on fabric transfer paper and iron the logos onto different colored shirts. Pose with your Hydro Flasks, and you've got an *adorbs* costume you can all make together over FaceTime.

The Incredibles

Who doesn't want their squad to be like this super fam? This is another simple costume that each group member can add their own touch to. Iron the Incredibles logo onto a red or black top and the rest is up to you! You can complete the look with black leggings, a skirt, a tutu, boots or knee-high socks. You can even use your *fave* pair of black sunnies to represent the eye masks they wear. The possibilities are endless with this one. 

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

No fictional high school (other than Hogwarts ofc) has more recognizable school clothes than East High. You and your besties can dress up as the characters from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series or, even better, the OG High School Musical cast. You can deck out in red and white, make Wildcat jerseys and iron varsity-style "E"s to jackets or sweatshirts. You'll be dancing to HSM jams all night long with your BFFs.

Powerpuff Girls

Name a more iconic trio than the Powerpuff Girls. If there are three of you in your squad, you *def* don't want to miss out on the opportunity to dress up as Buttercup, Blossom and Bubbles. The best part about this group costume is that there are so many different ways to go about it. You can go simple with pink, blue, and green shirts with a black stripe through the middle or you can spruce it up with metallic skirts and crop tops. As long as each of you is dressed up in one of the colors, there is no question that you are superpower sisters.
