While Halloween festivities are set to take a different shape this year, we believe it's still an occasion to mark with creativity and flair. Below, we present a curated list of costume ideas, each of which holds a certain resonance with the remarkable year that was 2020.
Tiger King Ensemble When Tiger King hit Netflix screens in March 2020, the world plunged headfirst into a labyrinth of intrigue, crime, and chaos. Little did we know that the year had more surprises in store. This Halloween costume theme is a fitting choice for families with young children, friend groups, or those with a fondness for the enigmatic Joe Exotic.
The Pastry Chef During the tumultuous moments of 2020, baking became a national pastime, offering a soothing refuge amidst the madness. Be it banana bread or artistically crafted cakes, the internet was flooded with tutorials and amusing baking blunders. This costume is a fantastic option for budding young cooks or adults in search of a last-minute costume solution.
Toilet Paper Mummy Reflecting upon 2020, it is hard to forget the brief period when toilet paper became a scarce commodity. In a humorous nod to this unprecedented scenario, why not fashion a costume from the now readily available 2-ply paper?
The Local Hero In a year marked by many challenges, the local heroes have emerged stronger than ever. Be it firefighters, nurses, scientists, or teachers, their contributions have made our communities resilient. With readily available props at home or bought from stores, these costumes honor these unsung heroes.
