It's fun to dress like an animal. Old pajamas, in this case, with the help of old fuzzy paw slippers, can make you easily look like a bear. Glue a fuzzy pompom to the back of your pajamas, and wear gloves or mittens. Makeup simulating a bear nose, which you can achieve by drawing a black circle on the tip of your nose, will give your costume a final touch. If you don't end up looking like a bear, it is likely that people will think you are a Wild Thing, which is also very good.
G.I.

G.I. costumes are very easy to make at home, since it is very likely that you already have every part of it hidden in your closets. If you find your old cargo pants, an Army-looking or simply dark green jacket, black shirt, boots and a black belt, you will look like a soldier. If, however, you exchange your black shirt for a red one and include a black beret, you will become a perfect copy of Che Guevara. To add a touch of humor, wear a "Che-wearing-a-Che-shirt" T-shirt.

Girls interested in wearing a sexy and fun costume should definitely try the lion tamer look. Old shorts, either black or red, and black tights and boots, along with a bright sparkly shirt and a black jacket will give you a trendy look. Increment your costume by wearing an old top hat and carrying around a small stool, a rope and a lion plush toy.
Bellatrix Lestrange

Witch costumes are the easiest, since most people have a black dress somewhere in the closet. It's even better if you have an old black prom dress. As witch costumes tend to be one of the most popular costumes, girls might want to give it a touch of creativity. Simulating Bella Lestrange's character, from the Harry Potter series, is a way to make your witch costume stand out. Wear your hair curly and wild, which gives Bella a sexy look. Makeup should include black shadow and eyeliner, and don't forget to draw the Dark Mark on your arm.
