Strike’s Halloween Costume Guide
It happens every year–you kick off the school year with a few fun parties, but soon enough, you’re back to going to class and laboring over your assignments. A tailgate here, a Friday night out there, and all of a sudden–Halloween is two weeks away, and you haven't even thought about what you’ll dress up as.
Now, that’s a true horror story.
The Strike team has decided to help you break that cycle. We’ve made a list of the hottest Halloween costumes we are dying to see this year. Whether you’re going solo or with your entourage, we have something you’re sure to win “Best Costume” in.
Pamela Anderson
What’s sexier than embodying the spirit of iconic model and actress of the ‘90s, Pamela Anderson? There are so many different iconic looks you could channel from her career, but here is how Strike styled it:
Tight khaki-colored pants with a flare and a lace-up front
A heavy leather jacket, complete with shoulder pads and a diagonal zipper
A black feathery headwrap (this reminded me of Pamela’s iconic 1999 VMAs hat)
And, of course, a red lip
Pinkalicious and Purplicious
Remember these divas from your childhood? Strike styled the perfect pair to give you some inspiration for you and your BFF’s matching costumes.
Pinkalicious
A pink Coniglio wrap pareo
A pink lace bralette layered under a pink v-neck crop tank top
Pink square-toed heels
A pink crown
A Hello Kitty purse
Purplicious
A purple, A-line dress
Purple hightop Jordans
A purple crown
Puss in Boots
This is an incredibly fun and sexy costume idea, yet somehow, I haven’t seen it before.
Here's how we styled it.
A tight black mini-dress
A brown leather vest
An oversized hat with a large feather on the side
Michael Kors black stiletto boots
For the “tights,” we used body paint over a pair of lace stockings, then removed them to create this “lace” effect.
Brat and Demure
We channeled our inner Charli XCX and Jools Lebron for this one.
Brat
A bright green Strike T-shirt
Itty bitty black micro shorts
Platform bright green platform crocs
A green beanie
Space-like sunglasses
Demure
A long, flowy maxi skirt
A vintage babydoll blouse with lace details on the collar
A knit shawl
Birkenstock Bostons
And, to make this list even sweeter, I’m throwing in some more ideas you can style in your own fashion.

Doses and Mimosas
The album cover of the iconic song “Doses and Mimosas” features a duo dressed in chef hats and aprons. Slap on some nametags that say “Doses” and the other “Mimosas,” and you got it good. Fun and easy, you and your BFF can't go wrong.

Lock, Shock, and Barrel
If you were looking to do a more eerie costume with your group, the trio from The Nightmare Before Christmas would be perfect. Make your own masks or find some online, throw on a mini dress, and you’ve got the perfect spooky trio costume.
