However, if you’re doing all of this just for compliments, it’s going to stress you out if the reception is less than what you imagined. Reality rarely matches the hype that we build ourselves. Try to enjoy yourself regardless of how others react (or don’t react) to your clothing. Compliments and attention are the cherry on top.What should matter most is that you meet your own standards for the costume, whether it’s hand-stitched or painstakingly put together from a dozen different store-bought pieces. If you’re happy with the end result and passionate about the character you’re pretending to be, you’ll be more relaxed and confident, and it’ll show at the parties you go to.

No matter if you’re a star or a regular office worker, you can still wow your friends and the entire internet with your ideas for Halloween. For example, you could come up with an incredibly creative idea for how to dress up. One that’s going to make everyone’s jaws drop. In this case, it really helps if you do your research.
Take a look atwhat costumes are trendingand which ones are overused. If everyone’s dressing up as Ken from ‘Barbie,’ for example, you can play this entire situation to your advantage. You could lean into the trend and be one of a dozen different Kens at your Halloween bash (i.e. the idea is ‘Kenough’).Alternatively, you could find a unique twist on the idea of Ken, to elevate your costume above those of everyone else. Or if that really doesn’t work for you, you can go for an older trend from a few years (or even decades!) ago that is going to stand out in the sea of Kens.

Another way to wow your friends is to put a ton of effort into your costume. That might sound simple, but it’s not easy. That means that you have to do a lot of planning and preparation, on top of hours and hours of DIY. First, you need to sketch out what the costume is going to look like. Next, you have to get all of the materials that you need. And then comes the painstaking part where you carefully cut, sew, and glue everything together… and then adjust everything time and again.
If you’re out of ideas or you’ve got a tight budget, you can always talk to your family, friends, and coworkers for inspiration. Who knows, they might give you some inspiration for an easy-to-make costume that won’t break the bank. Besides that, you might even be able to convince them to do a group costume. Those can be a lot of fun! And it’s easier to feel brave in front of a crowd when you’ve got your pals backing you up!
It’s not just cloth, plastic, and glitter that bring a costume to life, however. Some well-applied makeup can bring the entire ensemble together. So can some special effects, from strategically placed lights to microphones that create an eerie atmosphere… or play your character’s theme song. But above all else is your confidence: if you feel good wearing your costume, it’ll show.
