3. Superhero Costumes

Superhero costumes are always a popular choice for kiddos all year round, but with the release of the new Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and The Flash, not to mention last year’s The Batman, there’s never been a better time for your little ones to dress as their favorite superhero.

5. Wednesday

The Addams family has always been a classic Halloween costume. Their characters are so iconic, which makes this classic movie a great option for families or groups of friends. Wednesday appeared on our screens last fall, and she’s not about to go anywhere! Obviously black is Wednesday’s favorite color. To create a costume of her signature look, wear a simple black dress with white collar, our black tights and black Mary Janes. Braid your hair or add a braided wig, and that’s it! Want a dressier look? Create Wednesday’s drop-dead cool Rave’N dance outfit. Our Profiterole Black and Pink Tutu Dress layered with a black ruffle cape over it and add our pointy witch shoes, for an elegantly spooky look.
