3. Witch. A black dress and a pointy hat. Classic for a reason
4. Cowgirl. Jeans, boots, a plaid shirt, and a hat. You probably own most of it
5. 80s workout. Bright leggings, a headband, and leg warmers
6. Ghost. A white sheet with eye holes, and sunglasses for personality
7. Crayon. A tee in any color, plus a paper cone hat for the tip
8. Angel or devil. A halo or horns on a headband, and a matching outfit
9. Dolly Parton. A big blonde wig, a sparkly top, and plenty of confidence. She's the top trending costume on Google's kids' list too
