9 Halloween Costumes For Under $30!

Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means, all of the thrift stores in Lower Manhattan are going to be filled to the brim with New Yorkeers searching high and low for their perfect costume. SILive’s Lauren Steussy and LadyCat Fashion’s Alexandra Nyman, have teamed up to help you find Halloween costumes that won’t break the bank – almost all of these Halloween Costumes are under $30! We found everything at Everything Goes Clothing and at Cure Thrift Store.

1) Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton has been a very popular costume for this upcoming Halloween. In addition to running for president in 2016, Hillary is also portrayed on Saturday Night Live by Kate McKinnon.
To get Hillary’s look all you need is a pant suit in a neutral color like grey, black, or navy, and a neutral colored shirt to go with it. Hillary dresses very conservatively and is lady boss while in her pant suites. The entire costume cost under $30: the overcoat cost $10, the black under shirt cost $8, and the pants cost $8.

2) NYC Road Work

We all know how crazy that in Manhattan construction is almost never complete. Once one road is repaved or patched, another block is due to be closed for maintenance. We thought we would poke some fun at our hard working construction guys and gals with this costume. The dress cost $9, the scarf cost $4, as did this magic cone hat!

3) Sexy “Where’s Waldo”

We all know and love the “Where’s Waldo” comics, so why not be Waldo… only kinkier and with a gender bending twist? In total this costume cost $31, the shirt cost $20, the hat $6, and the skirt cost $6.

4) Daisy From The Great Gatsby

In honor of one of my favorite movies the Great Gatsby, we decided to be Daisy. The dress is an authentic vintage one from the early 1930s and cost $40 and the necklace cost $7. So fr under $50, you can look massively classy.

5) Pride And Prejudice And Zombies

A few years ago someone thought it would be a good idea to remake Pride and Prejudice... but with zombies... All this looks needs is some zombie makeup and you are straight outta Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! The dress cost $60 and is handmade!

6) The Corpse Bride

This dress can be a number of different things, the twin sisters from the Shining, a grown up Elsa, or our favorite, Tim Burton’s the Corpse Bride. All you need to do it get a little creative with your scissor skills and your makeup game. The veil cost $4 and the dress cost $30 and is an authentic vintage dress from 1936.

7) Bindi Irwin

This starlet has been spotted on Dancing with the Stars back in 2015 and is the daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. To get this look all you need is some khaki shorts, like these from The Cure that were only $8, a khaki overcoat with pockets in the front (this one was $10) and an undershirt to keep you comfortable (this one was only $3).

8) Katy Perry

Katy Perry is likely to be everyone’s Teenage Dream at this point. This wacky top was only $4, we were both very tempted to buy it, but figured one of you might want to give it a good home. And the skirt was only $12, making this look a steal at $16!

9) Chanel 1 From Scream Queens

Scream Queens has made a huge impact on pop culture for Halloween. It even inspired YouTuber Gabi DeMartino to make her own spin off series on her channel, Fancy Vlogs by Gabi. You can get Chanel 1’s look for less than $30! The overcoat was $9, the skirt cost $7, and Chanel’s signature pearls cost only $7!
