Every year, costume trends change, often influenced by new movies or beloved characters. For example, after the release of Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn and Joker costumes became really popular. This year, Barbie was a big hit at the box office, and we knew right from the start that it would be a top choice for Halloween in 2023.
Thanks to Google Frightgeist, it’s easier than ever to find out what costumes are trending this season and even which ones are popular in specific states. So, if you’re curious about the top costumes for this year and what you might see at parties, here are the top 15 trends.
1.- Barbie
As we mentioned earlier, Barbie had a huge impact this year, so you’ll probably see quite a few Barbie costumes at parties. And if you want to dress up as one, there are lots of different Barbie versions to choose from. Get creative – you can go for a discontinued Barbie or one that reminds you of your childhood, it’s up to you.
2.- Princess
The second most popular choice is quite versatile. You can pick from a wide range of princesses, from the classics to medieval royalty.
3.- Spider-Man
This is one of the favorites, and it will likely remain in the top 5. You also have a lot of different versions to choose from, as Spider-Man has evolved during the years.
4.- Witch
Another highly popular and versatile costume choice is being a witch. This one allows you to assemble it with items you might already have at home or purchase a very specific outfit. You can also choose from a very classic one with pointy hat and broom, to modern version, such as ‘Scarlet Witch.’
5.- Fairy
To be honest, we haven’t seen many fairies this year, but the truth is, it’s a classic that’s unlikely to ever go out of style. Like other timeless costumes, it can range from something quite basic to elaborate outfits, where even the wings are handmade like we’ve seen on social media.
6.- Wednesday Addams
Thanks to the Netflix series Wednesday, this costume has become quite popular since it was introduced. However, you might also come across other versions of the ‘Wednesday’ costume this year, as it continues to be a popular choice every Halloween. Although, it’s important to note that these versions are typically simpler than the famous dress Jenna Ortega wore in the series.
7.- Dinosaur
In the past few years, we’ve all seen that hilarious inflatable dinosaur costume. It’s just plain fun to watch, isn’t it? What’s great is that –a normal Dinosaur costume– it’s a hit with both kids and adults.
8.- Cowboy
This costume is a classic, and you can make it as simple or as fancy as you want. It’s perfect for those last-minute costume emergencies, but it can also make for an impressive cowboy look if you go all out.
9.- Ninja
This is one of those costumes that will never disappoint at a costume party.
10.- Bunny
Even though the 10th and 11th positions might seem similar, this costume is incredibly versatile. It works for both kids with innocent and child-friendly versions and adults who prefer something more mature. You can keep it simple or go all out with sophisticated and professionally done makeup.
11.- Rabbit
12.- Pirate
Another timeless favorite that never goes out of style is the pirate costume. There are so many variations to choose from, ranging from classic looks to those inspired by popular movies.
13.- Princess Peach
Thanks to the Super Mario Bros. Movie and its catchy song, Princess Peach is also a top choice this year.
14.- Clown
Dressing up as a clown is perhaps the most versatile option on this list. You can go for classic and innocent clown looks or opt for the genuinely terrifying ones that can even spook the bravest souls. It also offers the flexibility to choose between simple makeup and attire or going for a more professionally crafted look.
15.- Pumpkin
And how about the pumpkin costume? It’s a classic yet modern choice, whether you’re wearing it solo or as a couple. You can make it either scary or adorable, it’s your choice.
