Of course, don't forget the scrunchy or bold sunglasses!

Don't hesitate to do that signature red hair and be a hero for one night!
Jeff Bezos In Space (Complete With Cowboy Hat)
Just because it was 2021 when Jeff Bezos went to space doesn't mean people can't wear the NASA jumpsuit and signature cowboy hat to remember the absurdity of the moment.
Grab friends who want to dress as an alien, and you'll have yourself a fun group costume!
Eddie Brock/Venom
For those DIY enthusiasts out there, think about taking on Eddie Brock/Venom this Halloween.
All it takes is a hoodie and a bit of paper mache and some face paint to throw this costume together.

One costume that never fails at Halloween parties is Bob Ross.
A simple costume of jeans and a light blue button-down shirt, with a curly wig and some facial hair, and pretty much everyone in the room will know who you are channeling!
Elvis And Priscilla Presely
With the release of the Elvis biopic, dressing as the King is not a bad choice this spooky season.

A League of Their Own
With the television reboot of the classic film A League of Their Own, many people might want to think about putting together a nice baseball uniform.
Simple with a pink dress, high red socks, and a ball cap, yet a huge feminist statement, considering the subject matter, this is one costume some folks will not want to miss out on.
David Rose From Schitt's Creek
Honestly, any of the characters from Schitt's Creek would make for a great Halloween costume.
Here, this man is showing an option for David Ross, the eccentric son of the family.
Rue From Euphoria
Honestly, who wouldn't want to dress like one of Zendaya's characters? This particular costume is pretty simple, too.
To dress like Euphoria's Rue this Halloween, all a person needs is her signature maroon hoodie, a pair of jeans, and black and white high-top chucks!
Cruella de Vil
Cruella de Vil is a classic costume people have been straying toward for years, and 2022 is no different.
It helps that by grabbing a friend, it can be turned into a fun group costume.
Wanda Maximoff, Aka The Scarlet Witch
Whether it's the OG outfit from the comic books or the re-vamped suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is no going wrong with a Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, costume.
The best part about this costume is it can be easily found in costume shops or, for the comic book costume, a thrift store catering to leotards.
Jack Skellington & Sally
This is Halloween, so it only makes sense for Jack Skellington and Sally to be on a list of costume ideas for the season.
The good news with these two outfits is most costume outlets carry their wardrobes!

All it takes is a visor, a blue and white tracksuit, and some stick-on facial hair!

Miss Frizzle From The Magic School Bus
