Halloween isn’t just for ghosts, witches, and other spooky monsters — it’s also an excellent excuse to dress up as your favorite TV characters.

So, to really impress at your Halloween parties this year, here are some DIY Schitt's Creek costume ideas to fully embody your favorite Rose.

Although Schitt's Creek was on the air for half a decade, it only really gained a large, devoted fanbase in recent years thanks to Netflix acquiring its streaming rights 2017. The show went out with a bang at the beginning of 2020, ending its six-season run with the big, emotional wedding that fans had been waiting for. Months after its final farewell, the 2020 Emmys confirmed just how popular the series had become by awarding it all seven major awards in the comedy division. The record-breaking sweep cemented Schitt's Creek's place as one of the biggest modern comedies, which of course means it’ll inspire a ton of costumes for many Halloween costumes to come.

Whether you're coordinating a group costume with your Schitt's Creek-loving friends or you just want to recreate one of your fave looks from the series, here are some easy ways to bring all the characters to life.

1. David Rose

CBC

Nobody loves a black-and-white look more than David Rose, especially when it involves a sweater. David had a hyper-specific sense of style throughout Schitt's Creek, so to recreate his look for yourself, you're going to need to grab a black-and-white sweater with stripes, words, or a geometric pattern on it.

2. Alexis Rose

CBC

Like her brother, Alexis also has a very specific taste in fashion. She loves to rock flowy party dresses on the reg, which are the perfect combination of style and comfort. One of Alexis' most iconic looks has to be the velvet dress she wore while auditioning for Moira's musical. I mean, hello, it was the scene that introduced the world to "A Little Bit Alexis."

3. Moira Rose

CBC

When you talk about outrageous outfits on Schitt's Creek, the character who immediately comes to mind is Moira. The Rose family matriarch easily has the most ostentatious, over-the-top looks on the series... and maybe even on all of television. It won't be easy to exactly replicate Moira's couture looks, but you can come pretty close by seeking out some more affordable alternatives.

4. Johnny Rose

CBC

Of the Rose family, Johnny definitely has the least exciting sense of style. The businessman consistently wears a suit throughout the entirety of Schitt's Creek, so obviously you're going to have to suit up to transform into Johnny for Halloween.

5. Stevie Budd

CBC

Stevie's style isn't as flashy as the Roses; she opts for comfort over couture. It's not too difficult to steal Stevie's style. Plus, you'll probably have the most comfortable, laid-back costume of the night. To ensure people know you're dressed as Stevie, be sure to affix a name tag reading "Stevie" to your plaid flannel, since Stevie wears her name tag in most of her scenes on Schitt's Creek.

6. Ted Mullins

CBC

Like Stevie and the other residents of Schitt's Creek, Ted is usually in some pretty basic, casual clothes when he's not working. But when he's clocked in as a veterinarian, you can find him in his navy scrubs.

7. Roland Schitt

CBC

As the quirky mayor of Schitt’s Creek, it’s no surprise that Roland also opts for what seems to be the town’s go-to piece of clothing: a flannel. To really embody Roland, though, you’ll need to wear a black or grey distressed trucker hat.

8. Dr. Clara Mandrake

CBC

You can show you're a true Schitt's Creek superfan by dressing up as Moira's The Crows Have Eyes III: The Crowening character Dr. Clara Mandrake. Honestly, the campy horror movie look is pretty much made for Halloween.

9. Moira’s Wedding Look

CBC

Honestly, there are just too many iconic Moira looks to choose from, but her over-the-top papal ‘fit in the series finale is just begging to be recreated. Moira stole the spotlight at David and Patrick’s wedding in a gold-and-white look that every fan will recognize immediately.
