Flapper

A flapper is a classic costume that defies yearly trends, and we adore this sparkly one-piece that serves as the look’s focal point. Together, a cute mini skirt, pair of gloves, heels and headpiece make for a head-turning Halloween costume.

Workout Barbie

A 1980s-inspired workout Barbie costume never fails, as you can piece together brights you have from your wardrobe—or shop our selects below. Plus, if you arm yourself with some light dumbbells to complete your look, you’ll simultaneously get a workout in while enjoying the festivities.

Boxer

Channel your inner Christy Martin with this boxing costume that also borrows from your gym bag. A pair of casual Converse (that you likely already own) worn with boxing trunks and gloves elevates the sporty factor of this black-and-white bikini.
