Braid your hair in two pigtails and give a moody/blank stare at everyone all night.
Where in the world is…Waldo / Carmen Sandiego
These two options are fun because they’d make a great couple’s costume, or group costume, too.
For the Where’s Waldo costume you need a white shirt, a red shirt, or a red-and-white striped shirt. You can use red electrical tape or white masking tape to make horizontal stripes on you plain white or red shirts.
Then you need to wear jeans, and a knit beanie (red is best!). Finally, for the iconic circle glasses, you can either wear your own pair, borrow a costume pair if a friend has one, or use eyeliner or face paint to mark the circle glasses on your face.
For Carmen Sandiego, you’ll need a trenchcoat, black pants, and a fedora. Traditionally she wears a red jacket and red hat, but you can get away with wearing a tan one if you also have a map you can carry around for context clues.
Nerd
Another easy group costume! You can wear almost anything in your closet – tan pants or shorts, black shorts or pants, and a button up with a pocket for pencils. Tuck your shirt into your pants, and if you have suspenders, great.
