Halloween is right around the corner and if you haven’t been planning your costume since December, it can be difficult to scrounge up the effort to have a unique costume. But, do not fear! The Jagwire will be lending their services to your lazy self.

Fan of Stranger Things but don’t want to wear a dress or a wig? Grab your green jacket, a red t shirt, and grab a wall phone from Goodwill and you are now Joyce Byers. If a dress is for you, snag some eggos, a pink dress, tube socks and you’re set!

Be Shia Labeouf! Fortunately for us, he has several iconic looks- including not not limited to: the “Just Do It” video (all you need is a mostly black outfit and a vice that travels), or his “I-am-Not-Famous-Anymore” look, complete with a paper bag and a sharpie.

Be a Sim! All you need is a headband, some wire, and just draw your plumbob! Plus, you get the excuse to wear literally the dumbest outfit you have ever seen. If teachers try to call on you, just give them your best Simlish phrase.

Be the Arthur meme! Wear a yellow sweater, carry around an empty picture frame, and make a fist constantly!

If you’re basic or just looking for an excuse to wear the Victoria's Secret gift with purchase cat ears you got last year, draw on some whiskers, paint your nails black and you're ready to be literally the least unique costume out there. Yay!

Hot glue some Smarties Candy on a old pair of jeans and you’re a smarty pants! Not only will your costume be unique and clever, but you’ll get people talking.

Be Drake from his Hotline Bling video. Cuff some khakis and borrow a sweater from your weird uncle, and channel your dad as you dance through school.

Have a thing for butts? Be Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers! Wear a light blue t shirt tucked into a navy skirt, wear some tube socks, converse and write “Erotic Friend Fiction” on a composition book. Add some glasses and a yellow hair clip. Now you're everybody's favorite cartoon weirdo!

All you need is a yellow short sleeve button up, an ugly tie, put your dad’s stapler in some jello, part your hair down the middle, and you're Dwight Schrute!

Don't forget to stay within dress-code, with minimal gore and modest clothing. For those of us who tend to be costume-challenged, consider yourself saved with these clever, unique, cheap and easy costumes to truly make your Halloween special!
