The Fashionable One – Miu Miu skirt set
2022 was the year where we saw nothing but khaki, white, and cotton blue for a week straight. After making an explosive runway debut in Miu Miu’s SS22 collection, the micro-mini set was soon donned, duped, and meme-d into a viral sensation. What better way to honor 2022’s most iconic set than to wear it on Halloween? The individual pieces are fairly easy to find, and once they all come together, the reference will be unmistakable. As seen on “it girls,” Zendaya, Yoona, and now…you!

The K-pop one – aespa
How about being a part of aespa for a night? Instantly recognizable by their futuristic aesthetic, this four-piece girl group is currently one of K-pop’s hottest and most conceptual acts. Their name, a portmanteau of “avatar” and “experience,” is meant to symbolize “meeting another self and experiencing the new world.” It’s a pretty fitting attitude for Halloween. To achieve the quintessential aespa look, balance fun textures and bright colors with darker tech wear. Don’t forget some killer boots and eyeliner to take the outfit to the “Next Level.”

The Classic One – Bunny
This beautiful Fluffy Bunny Beanie from NODRESS proves wearing animal ears doesn’t have to be a boring “last minute” costume. Try ditching the classic headband and find one with a unique fabric or shape.

The Scary One – Evelyn Quan Wang
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) might not have been cinema’s scariest moment, but a third (googly) eye is as creepy as this list will get. Evelyn Quan Wang (played by Michelle Yeoh) is an aging laundromat owner who becomes the unlikely hero in this mind-twisting, genre-bending action film. Evelyn’s outfit, ostensibly inspired by stylish Chinatown grannies, consists of thick layers of deep purples and florals that are sure to keep you warm on a chilly Halloween night.

The Fun One – Grandma
If “everything but the kitchen sink” was an outfit. Throw together a fit using the brightest colors and loudest patterns. This costume challenges you to unlearn every fashion rule you’ve ever come across and wear what you want, how you want. From hearty babushkas to Korean “ajummas,” the grandma costume can take on many different forms. How will you interpret it?
