October 15, 2024 A Halloween Costume with Secondhand Style

Do you have your Halloween costume ready yet? If you’re feeling stumped, the creative team members in our stores have some great ideas for you. We checked our regional Instagram feeds to see what they’re showcasing. Take a look at 4 ways they used secondhand finds from our racks to create some really fun Halloween looks!

1. Pick Re-wearable Pieces

This is one of our favorite costume tactics. Create a costume out of items you know you’ll wear again in the future, mixed with different pieces.

2. Create a Group Look

Get your friends involved and re-create a famous group. We think our Berkeley store did an amazing job here with the Scooby-Doo crew!

2. Imitate Famous Movie Characters

Grab your phone and do a Google search for the most famous movie characters. Then screenshot their signature looks and go secondhand shopping! Chances are, you’ll walk away with classic pieces you’ll wear waaaayyyy past Halloween.

4. Keep it Simply Spooky

Keep your look simple by grabbing a Halloween-themed tee. Here’s an example from one of our store windows that’s perfect for a night of watching scary movies.
