Every year comes with its own set of fun Halloween costumes, and we’ve already got a pretty good idea of the ones that will be making a big splash in 2018. After all, whether you’ve been planning your costume since November of last year or are waiting until the last minute to figure it out, there’s nothing like tapping into pop culture.
Don’t get us wrong—we love the iconic costumes—but what’s better than wearing something 2018-specific? Whether you embrace a character from your favorite TV show du jour or go with your favorite meme of the summer, you’re sure to find a costume you’ll love. Prepare yourself—you’ll probably see these picks everywhere come October 31.
The Handmaid's Tale
If there’s one television show that’s been blowing up in the past year, it’s The Handmaid’s Tale. If you’ve been following along with the series, dress as a handmaid for the occasion with a red cape and a visor.
This wool cape is so chic.Available in sizes 2 to 12.
The '80s
If the continuing popularity of Stranger Things is any indication, there’s one thing that’s going to be big this year, and that’s the ’80s—along with the fashion that comes with it. Sport this trending decade via ’80s workwear and scrunchies.
