Turns Out, All You Need This Halloween Is a Jumpsuit
Halloween is merely days away, and with it comes the ever-annoying question: What will you dress up as this year? Ideally, you want your costume to be current and clever without requiring a number of obscure items that require a full-on thrift store hunt.
Enter: the jumpsuit. Thanks to pop culture and recent news, the jumpsuit has become the holy grail of Halloween; literally whatever color suit you have, there's a costume to be created. And become of its ever-growing popularity, there's a good chance you already have one sitting in your closet.
So grab your jumpsuit and read on to get your last-minute costume sorted.
If you have a red jumpsuit and a pair of scissors lying around, the obvious choice is to dress as one of the Tethered from Jordan Peele's horror film Us. (If you want to see the costume in action, just look at the cast of black-ish.) Other props could include a rabbit, a baseball bat, and of course, you'll need to imitate Lupita Nyong'o's signature voice from the film. And if you happen to have a twin, even better; one person can dress in their normal clothes, and the other can dress as their Tether. Two easy costumes, done and done.
If you're looking for a more litigious costume—and happen to have a green jumpsuit—then feel free to dress up as Felicity Huffman. The actress, who went to prison for her involvement in a headlines-making college admissions scam, recently ended her sentence, but not before she was spotted wearing a kinda-fashionable green prison jumpsuit. To get the costume, just slip on your suit and a baseball hat, and tape a piece of paper to your back that reads "Varsity Blues," so everyone will know who you are.
Do you and your BFF both own a blue jumpsuit? Then congratulations, you're dressing up as this year's most perfect best friend duo: Amy and Molly from Booksmart. The two famously wore matching boiler suits during an epic night of partying, and as long as you're prepared to constantly compliment your friend all night long, you're good to go. And maybe throw on a neck scarf and a beret, if you really want to go all out.
Happy Saturday! Swing by the Showroom, open til 8 ??

While the Glossier employee isn't necessarily the most surprising costume, the truth is that throwing on a pale pink jumpsuit is just about the easiest Halloween look out there. If you want to be true to form, follow your favorite "no makeup" makeup tutorial to get that ever-present glow that every Glossier model seems to have. In other words, here's your excuse to use all your favorite Glossier products, all at once, all night long.
No offense to the other lewks on this list, but the most iconic jumpsuit of the year has to be the black jumpsuit that Phoebe Waller-Bridge wore in the first episode of Fleabag season two. Classic and sexy, it's the kind of item you wished you owned, so use Halloween as the chance to snag it. Thanks to Vulture, we know how to buy the same exact one, if you don't mind shipping it from the United Kingdom. Otherwise, find a similar jumpsuit, grab some candy cigarettes, and a stuffed guinea pig, and voilà, you're Fleabag.
Rosie the Riveter has been dominating the holiday for the past few years, so this time around, celebrate a different trail-blazing woman. Dress up as flight engineers Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, the NASA astronauts who took part in this year’s historic all-woman spacewalk, by donning a white jumpsuit this Halloween. Feel free to add an American flag and NASA patch to really drive the costume home.
