Which Basic Halloween Costume Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

An example of a costume that is not culture appropriating.

Halloween is the gift that keeps on giving.  Housing every opportunity from creating a unique costume that’s custom fit to your style to giving strangers’ kids candy without getting arrested, simply put, Halloween is pretty dang neat. What’s better – this long-awaited night of identity crisis is right around the corner. 

But OH NO!!!!! You don’t have a costume (or are just too lazy to think of one): Fear not! Read on to get a costume of your choice just based on your birthday.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19) – Risky Business

Want a costume that requires minimal effort yet simultaneously makes you look like you have a million dollars to your name? You’re in the right place. Simply rummage through a parent’s, sibling’s, or even your own closet and find a button-down shirt.  Throw it on along with a poorly tied tie and BAM! You’re looking like a CEO from the 1980s already. (Extra points if you find a stain that you’ve never seen before.)

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20) – Lifeguard

This costume is a small attempt at bringing it back to summer and prancing around poolside. Put on your best Baywatch inspired attire, add a whistle and you’re all set! You just better hope, if someone is to suddenly start drowning or choking, you’ll be there to save their lives! Pressure is all on you!

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20) – Some Random Jersey

For this costume, any jersey works, and it doesn’t matter if it’s your own, somebody else’s, or even a team/sport that you hate. It’s really that easy! (Minus points if it’s Tom Brady’s. We’ve seen enough of that.)

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22) – Devil/Angel Combo

The iconic duo lives on! Grab a friend (or stranger for that matter) and fight over who gets to be which! Complete the look with a cute mis-matching set.  Best part – there’s a myriad of Instagram captions to choose for your pics.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22) – Sheet Ghost

You Leos are always waiting until the last minute to find a Halloween costume. Just take a sheet, cut eye holes in it and VOILA!  You’re channeling Charlie Brown vibes. So spooky!

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22) – Cat

Any Halloween costume list isn’t complete without the classic cat. Just get some ears, paint some cute little whiskers on, and proceed to knock anything and everything off tables! It’s YOUR excuse to be annoying!

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22) – Boxer

This one is a personal favorite. Turn this deadly profession into a cute costume for the night! For optimal effect, Google Mike Tyson and paint that tattoo on your face.  Just don’t take it too far and bite anyone’s ear. We don’t need any “Bite Fights” on “Fright Night”!

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) – “Hi, My Name is…”

This is one night that you get to be anything you want. Anything. Make a sticker in the “Hi, My Name is” format and fill in the blank! Tonight is YOUR night. Be anything or anyone you want.

 

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) – Meat Dress

Lucky for you, this might just be the easiest costume on the list (though it could be pricey if you go for quality)! The look starts with a trip to the grocery store, where you buy a bunch of cold cuts.  Come home and (quickly) attach them to some clothes you don’t (ever) want to use again. Best part about this costume? No – it’s not that you pay homage to Lady Gaga – it’s that you have built in snacks all night long.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19) – Student

Ah yes, the classic school girl/boy costume. Complete with plaid attire and square-rim glasses, this costume is unbeatable. Or, you could pull the realistic version- bags under eyes, messy bedhead and clothes that were slept in from the night before. (Bonus points if you get yelled at for eating in the library.)

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18) – Doctor

You probably watch Grey’s Anatomy, don’t you? Those powder blue scrubs look comfy, right? Throw those on and go save some people’s lives! 

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) – Blue Reign Shirt

This costume is a Hall High School specialty. Have no costume? Didn’t like any that were on this quiz? Want to show some school spirit? This is the perfect fit for you! Under two conditions: You must scream “BLEED BLUE” wherever you go, and you must give @bluewagon_ on Instagram a follow (out of respect)!
