Halloween approaches and the time holds. If you have not yet chosen a costume, nothing panic: with some garments of your wardrobe you can transform yourself into a memorable character. Creativity, irony and a handful of minutes to save the evening are enough.
In the vortex of the masked parties, it often happens to arrive at the last moment without a ready disguise. The idea of running in crowded stores or spending a fortune online is not tempting. The good news? You can create Halloween Last Minute disguises Using only clothes you already have. And they are often the most original.
That you are going to a party at home, at a masked event or simply wants to surprise your friends on Instagram, here are seven simple and brilliant ideas to amaze without stress.
Quick ideas for Halloween: disguises with common clothes
The key to success is to look at your wardrobe with different eyes. A trench coat immediately becomes a detail as an investigator, a oversized shirt can transform you into a cult character, while a black suit is the base for a thousand dark variants.
Here are some tips to start:
- Take advantage of the monochrome: A total black, white or red outfit can immediately suggest a character.
- Play with accessories: Hats, sunglasses, showy necklaces or scarves can make a difference.
- Creative make-up: Sometimes a targeted trick is enough to transform the entire look.
- WoW effect hair: Sperate braids, chignon, pigtails or gels can evoke specific characters.
- Strategic layering: Overlapps garments in an unusual way to create volumes and contrasts.
- Theatrical attitude: Often it is the way you move and talk to complete the magic.
Sometimes, a slow walk and a fixed look is enough to evoke a ghostly figure. Or a wide and disturbing smile to become the protagonist of a nightmare.
