7 Cheap and Easy Halloween Costumes Using Pieces You'll Actually Wear Again
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.

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. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
