Flapper
The Flapper is one of the best 20s costumes to get. You look absolutely chic and dressed to the nines! Live out your Roaring 20s fantasies and dress as a Flapper for Halloween. You will be the bee’s knees!
Vintage Barbie
The brand Unique Vintage has a Barbie line, making it easier to pick out your vintage Barbie costume. You can go so many different ways with this costume, from the 60s to the 90s (scary to think the 90s is vintage to some people, but here we are). Become the Barbie you always dreamed of by picking this costume!
Lucy from ‘I Love Lucy’
If you dreamed of telling Ricky you want to be in his show, this is the perfect costume. Live out your crazy screwball dreams with this ‘I Love Lucy’ costume. You will be so glad you did!
A Mouseketeer
Do you want everyone to know your name? Do you want them to know about your love for Disney? Then the Mouseketeer is the costume for you! You can become one of your favorite people from the show or use your own name. Either way, people will know how much you love M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E.
Bonnie and Clyde
Become your favorite gun-toting bank robbers, Bonnie and Clyde. This works best as a couple’s costume, but you can still make it work if you are a single unit. Just get your best 1930s garb ready, and you will be the talk of town. A good bank robber has notoriety, right?
A Hippie
Do you want to feel groovy? Then all you have to do is put on a hippie costume! Show you have good vibes and are chill by embodying the hippie life. Everyone will love your energy, man.
Suffragette
Sister suffragette, we are here to get the votes for women! Take your feminism to the next level with a suffragette costume. Fight like your ancestors did because we all deserve the right to vote! Yes, I know this is only a Halloween costume but I got caught up in the spirit.
A Pink Lady
Show you are a little bit of a bad girl with your Pink Ladies costume! All the girls will want to be you, and all the guys will want to date you (if that’s what you prefer). Regardless, you will look like the coolest girl in town with this costume.
Rosie the Riveter
You can do it! And this costume helps prove that! Rosie the Riveter is an American icon and one that shows the power of women. Do anything you set your mind to and also look cute while doing it.
Pirate
Argh matey! Shiver me, timbers! Is the pirate’s life for you? Well, then, you have to be a pirate for Halloween. Think of all the gold doubloons you will be able to find for your treasure.
Melanie Daniels from ‘The Birds’
Tippi Hedren, in her iconic green outfit fighting off birds, is always a good choice for a costume. I recommend adding some birds to your costume so people can get the full concept of it. Chic and distressed are the definitions for this look.
Disco Queen
Show the world you are a dancing queen with a disco costume! People will want to boogie with you all night long. You could even show them your sick disco moves, which adds authenticity to the costume.
Go Go Dancer
Another dance-themed costume, but this time for the 60s! Get your groove on with a Go Go dancer costume and be the center of attention at any party you attend. Also, break out those dance moves; the crowd will be wanting more.
