Halloween is fast approaching and if you haven’t prepped a costume yet, it’s time to get on it! Sometimes it’s hard to pick an outfit in the morning before class, let alone work on an elaborate costume. If you’re looking for easy costume ideas and you also need to work on a budget, take a look in your closet prior to this weekend!
Many of this year’s trend pieces can be the centerpiece of a clever and cute costume. These Style Gurus’ trend pieces look amazing in their everyday, fashionable lives. But you can also incorporate them seamlessly into character or celebrity costumes.
Check out how to translate items you have already been rocking this fall into this year’s Halloween look.

The costume: North West
Why not dress up as the heiress of street style? North always looks on point, and she’s been sporting absolute diva looks since day one. Replicate her iconic fur looks with a pair of edgy combat boots and a black-on-black ensemble. (Photo via Splash)
2—The piece: Slip shirt or dress (Photo via @devynnediaz)
The costume: Olive Penderghast from “Easy A“
The slip top trend is mainly thanks to ’90s-revival, but I think we owe a bit to Olive’s lingerie-as-clothes in Easy A. Cut out a big, red A from an old T-shirt and add some Ray-Bans to complete the look! (Photo via Sony Pictures)

The costume: Rachel from “Friends”
Speaking of the ’90s, I would love to be able to wear everything Rachel wore in the early seasons of “Friends.” Get that hair super voluminous and you’ll look the part with a pair of overalls on top of a cropped tank. (Photo via Warner Brothers)
4—The piece: Chelsea boots (Photo via @shelbyshowell)
The costume: Harry Styles
Harry’s outfits are always a variation on a similar theme—baggy button-down, super tight skinny jeans and those classic Chelsea boots. Draw on his tattoos with eyeliner, add a bunch of jewelry and tousle that hair! Ever since the One Direction hiatus, it’s been hard to get updates on what his style is like now, so we’ll just have to go with what Harry would wear in 2015. (Photo via FamFlynet)

The costume: Drake in the “Hotline Bling” music video
Here me out on this one! While “Hotline Bling” dropped over a year ago, the gray sweater and Timberlands are still his most recognizable outfits to date. Make use of your fall knits and keep warm while in costume! It’s also a pretty good excuse to dance like him all night long. (Photo via YouTube)
6—The piece: Leather jacket (Photo via @dianapkpg)
The costume: Member of the T-Birds in “Grease”
Leather jackets have been a must-have the past couple of seasons! Recall the ’50s cool of Grease by pairing yours with a white T-shirt, some dog tags and slicked back hair. Photo via Everett Collection)
