Low-Effort, Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
Performative Male
What you'll need: A button-down top, baggy jeans, loafers, dainty jewelry, a tote bag, and wired headphones
It's all about showcasing quirky interests, artsy hobbies, and niche cultural referencesāanything to signal taste and self-awareness. Add a few anik-aniks to your tote bag, hold a feminist book, or carry a cup of matcha for full effect.
Podcast Host
What you'll need: A hoodie or sweater, comfy trousers, slides, and a microphone (a hairbrush or your phone works, too)
You'll mostly be sitting down (better call dibs on the couch ASAP!), so loose, baggy clothes are a must so you stay comfy while you yap about life drama, red flags, or your latest icks. Better yet, why don't you get your bestie to join the fun so you can channel your inner Dogshow Divas?
Salcedo Girlie
What you'll need: A sundress or linen top, maxi skirt, sandals or ballet flats, and a baguette bag
Channel your inner chic weekend wanderer with effortless, breezy pieces perfect for strolling through Salcedo, Makati. If you can, grab a fresh bouquet of flowers to complete your aesthetic.
Pink Pilates Princess
What you'll need: A workout set, sneakers, and a ponytail or headband
This look goes for the ultimate pastel, wellness-meets-aesthetic vibe. Bonus points if you own an entire pink set; otherwise, you can stick to monochrome colors, too. You can even add a gym bag or a water bottle to complete the athleisure look.
Office Siren
What you'll need: A white button-down top, pencil skirt, heels or loafers, eyeglasses, and a bold lip (optional)
Step into boss mode with a sleek and polished outfit that's equal parts chic and intimidating. Add a notebook or pen as a prop and let your friends do a double-take. Just maybe remember not to wear the same OOTD to your IRL office to avoid getting reprimanded? š
