41 Awesome Plus-Size Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween is so much fun—from spooky festivals, to pumpkin carving, to candy corn cocktails, and scary movies, there's something for everyone. But there's one aspect of the holiday that can prove anxiety-provoking: finding a unique Halloween costume.

Should you go with something scary? Sexy? Somewhere in between? Should you dress up with your besties, lean into a funny couples costume, or just put on a cute witch hat and call it day? And finally, do you really need to buy an actual costume, or can you get away with throwing together a cheap last-minute outfit from items you already own?

Deep breaths, because here's the thing: The choice is entirely up to you. If you're hoping to win top honors at the parade, consider going all out with a homemade costume. But, if you're just looking for something fun, easy, and flattering to wear to work, keep things simple with something as convenient as a store-bought onesie or some mystical makeup.

Here, we've rounded up the best, cutest, plus-size Halloween costume ideas (including options for your boo... no pun intended)—some basic and some more involved—so you can stop stressing and focus on having a frightfully good time.
