With dozens of local Halloween events positively begging you to come dressed in costume all month long, it’s never too early to start shopping for a cool getup. We’ve got you covered, from the big-wigs who have the hottest licensed characters to the itty bitty local shops that carry that perfect accessory to make your little monster pop.
This year-round costume shop has two floors of everything you need for a spooky look, from costumes to props to wigs. They even offer a rental service so you can skip the DIY and go straight to the party.
You’ll find everything from a full-on Frankenstein outfit to a spooky skeleton suit at this family-owned business. They stock a huge selection of the newest licensed characters, and you can even buy your costume online so you can skip the lines and just pick it up from one of their locations.
Abracadabra NYC is another year-round costume store with an impressive inventory (and yes, they do also sell magician supplies). Their vast collection of props and accessories will make it easier than ever to create a costume that’s a real spellbinder.
Dressing up as a couple is one of the best ways to show off your shared interests this Halloween. Choose from iconic duos like Bonnie and Clyde or beloved fictional pairs like Princess Leia and Han Solo.
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, check out your local Goodwill to find unique and slightly-used costumes that you can tailor to your style. Plus, you’ll be supporting a great cause in the process!
