Between the streaming dramas on Netflix and classic sitcoms we’ve become familiar with thanks to reruns, we can always count on TV shows to give us some of the best ideas for Halloween costumes. Besides, it’s always more fun when someone recognizes who you’re dressed as. (Much better than having to explain your obscure costume to everyone at the Halloween party.) If you aren’t sure where to start, let us help: We’ve pulled together some of our favorite shows where the fashion is just as notable as the plot lines. Whether you love getting together with your crew to watch reality TV (hi, fellow Bachelorette fans) or are here for period dramas (Downton Abbey, anyone?), the costume ideas are truly endless…
The Bachelorette
One of the best parts of The Bachelorette (besides the drama, of course) is seeing the glamorous dresses the contestants wear. Sport a glitzy ensemble with a beaded dress and simple earrings.
You’ll feel so glamorous in this.Available in sizes 0 to 6.
How good are these?
Glow
Between the everyday fashion and the wrestling costumes, Netflix’s GLOW is a treasure chest of costume ideas. Channel the show with a metallic bodysuit and an ’80s-appropriate wide belt.
Bring back the ’80s with this bodysuit.Available in sizes XXS to XL.
Wide belts are making a comeback.Available in sizes S to XL.
Gossip Girl
You’ll never go wrong with a classic like Gossip Girl, which was known for its decadent fashion. Whether you’re a Queen B or more of a Serena, you’ll look so chic this Halloween.

These will complete your outfit.

Bring back the bubble dress.Available in sizes 0 to 10.
Riverdale
No matter how you want to dress, you can count on any one of the characters of Riverdale to provide any type of style you’re going for. From classic Veronica Lodge to sweet Betty Cooper (and even the edgier Cheryl Blossom), you’re bound to find a look for the night.
Cheryl Blossom
