The countdown to Halloween starts now. You’ve got 48-ish hours, do you know what you’re going to be? Coming up with costume ideas is tough, particularly for devoted fashion lovers, who—how to put this nicely?—tend to have opinions. Lucky for you, we have a few strong thoughts of our own. Forthwith, here is a hyper-curated selection of 75 looks—some spooky, most not—straight off the runways, culled from many collections and with an assist from our nifty Image Archive. Halloweekend, here we come!
Everyday Folks and Some People You May Know

Famous Characters

Make it a grunge, gender-bending Superman, or a Y2K–by–way–of–TikTok Avatar (or Smurf, either works).

Go mother-daughter style with Morticia and Wednesday Addams, or just throw on your best bridal whites and reenact that one scene in The Parent Trap.
Creatures and Critters
A bunch of chicks, a pup, a bunny, or maybe even a canary.
Miscellaneous Objects
You can set the table or be the table. Do make sure to take out the trash in your best Hefty bag couture.
