Here are quick, easy costume ideas you can put together with minimal effort.

• Squid Game players: Green tracksuits with numbered stickers. Instant and recognizable. Great for groups.
• Classic movie/TV character tee: Dress as a character with a simple outfit you already own (e.g., a white shirt, black blazer, and a red scarf for a minimalist Steve Jobs vibe).
• Nerd/scholars: Button-down shirt, taped glasses, and a backpack; add a clipboard for a “teacher/professor” look.
• Ghost or minimalist spooky: White sheet with eye holes, or all-white outfit with glow-in-the-dark accessories for a subtle ghost.
• 80s/90s throwbacks: Denim jacket, band tee, and a scrunchie; pair with a cassette or boombox prop if available.
• Pop culture one-item twist: Wear a hoodie with a simple label or sticker (e.g., “Dumbledore’s Army” or a sports team logo) to evoke a character without full costume.
• Animals with a prop: Ears headband and a tail; add a face paint stripe to become a cat, dog, or panda using items you already have.
• Politely spoofy: A simple black suit and sunglasses to mimic a suave secret agent or “mission impossible”-style character.

Tips for quick assembly:

• Use what you already have; repurpose everyday items as costume props.
• Focus on one defining accessory or prop per character to sell the look.
• Add makeup or face paint to transform without bulk costumes.
• For group costumes, pick a shared theme (e.g., characters from a single show) and coordinate colors.

If you’d like, share what clothes and accessories you have, and the event vibe (funny, spooky, elegant), and I’ll tailor a few exact, mix-and-match options.
