The only thing better than a cheap but great Halloween costume is one that uses pieces you’ll actually want to wear again—and not just on October 31, 2019. That’s why, as someone who hates overspending on this holiday, I took it upon myself today to come up with seven costume ideas that check both boxes. Using pieces from our very own Who What Wear collection, this year you can be anything from a Ghostbuster to Posh Spice to an of-the-moment leopard while actually adding to your fall wardrobe—and not breaking the bank doing so. To see and shop all seven costumes that made my list, simply continue on below.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
