9 '90s Halloween Costume Ideas That Will Make You Super Nostalgic

It's officially September, which means you have less than two months to figure out what the heck you're going to be for Halloween this year. If it's an absolute struggle for you when it comes to deciding what kind of costume you want to rock, you're certainly not alone. Halloweekend is a pretty big deal, and there's a lot of hard work and planning that goes into it. I'm sure that figuring out several fire costume ideas has to be right at the very top of the "Hardest Decisions Ever" list, along with deciding what exactly you want to do with the rest of your life (kidding, but not really). When in doubt, turn to the tried and true. You can't go wrong by making a list of 90s Halloween costume ideas that will give you all of those nostalgic feels.

Whether you're wearing overalls and your best choker, or imitating one of your favorite celebs, a 90s costume is sure to get all of the compliments and likes on Instagram. The best part of dressing up as anything from the 90s means that your closet is already halfway there (you know you own way too many outfits that pass as 90s wear), and a trip to a thrift store is all you need to grab any last-minute items. Cheap and easy equals a recipe for success. Ready to slay in the best costume? You better be. These nine 90s Halloween costumes will you get there for sure.
