Minimalist Halloween Costumes

By Ronnie Neiman

Halloween can be a fun holiday for all ages. Some people love to go all out with their decorations and costumes but some people just want something simply to participate in the holiday. There is immense creativity to be found in complex costumes and in simple costumes. All that matters is that you have some fun.

This year why not try a different approach and find yourself a minimalist Halloween costume? A minimalist costume that will still make people laugh, scream, or give you a solid thumbs up. The idea of having an elaborate costume for yourself might just be a real-life Halloween nightmare!

This Halloween, skip the big box store and save money with one of our easy-to-make handmade costume ideas and silver screen-ready makeup looks you can throw together in minutes using items you already have on hand. From painting your face, to wearing a simple shirt of a specific color, there are just so many options.
