10 Easy Halloween Costumes to Try in Your 30s

It can occasionally seem that the older you get, the
less exciting holidays become. Are birthday parties ever going to
be as fun as when they were hosted at bowling alleys? Well,
speaking as someone who continues to adore each and
every celebration no matter my age, yes. Furthermore,
what’s Halloween
without a bag of hard-earned candy? Good news again: Holidays can
get even better with age—birthdays, New Year’s Eve and Halloween
included. New Year’s Eve can become a more sophisticated soirée
hosted at your apartment, and birthdays are the perfect excuse to
treat yourself for an entire day (or weekend… or week), as if you
needed an excuse.

Halloween,
on the other hand, is a time to lose your inhibitions, forget your
daily stressors, and become whomever you want to be for one night.
Who wouldn’t want to take part? That’s why we’ve rounded up 10
easy, fun Halloween costumes to wear in your 30s to prove
that holidays are just as fun as ever, though if we’re being
honest, each of the following costume ideas would be perfect at any
age.

It is indisputable that Cindy Crawford was, and remains, a
classically elegant icon. With a simple white tank, jeans and a
blowout, you too can pull off her effortless beauty.

Punk rock Patti Smith is a superstar in all rights. With an epic
rock career and a literary legacy to boot, her style is just the
cherry on top of a perfect Halloween costume.

Retrospectively the coolest member of the gang, Velma is the
Scooby-Doo character I wish I’d looked up to when I was young. We
can right those wrongs with a modern-day Halloween costume.

Jane Fonda in her workout video from 1982 will never stop being
relevant, and neither will this costume.

Isis, the captain of the East Compton Clovers cheerleading team,
is a force to be reckoned with. Plus, she has a cute outfit.

A character and a costume that never cease to be crowd-pleasers.
It’s easy to put together and even easier to wear out on the dance
floor.

A fur shag coat is the key piece you need to transform into
Penny Lane, and you too can be almost famous.

Mia Wallace is a popular choice on Halloween for a reason—all
you need is a white button-down and a black skirt (and a little red
face paint if you’re going to commit).

Truthfully, any member of the Addams family is a perfect fit for
Halloween. With their dark and spooky appearance but Morticia’s
particularly stylish look, you’ve got the ideal costume.

The most complex costume yet, a Sally costume can be simplified
for those of us not willing to paint our bodies. Simply throw on
a rag dress, a red wig and draw some stitches on your arms and legs
and—voilà.
