While frantically peering down the aisles of Party City, it occurred to me that procrastination is not a friend of quality. A Halloween costume that's put together only an hour before a party isn't going to be great, but it can be funny and—most important—cheap. You don't have to succumb to the shitty $40 leftovers at a Halloween store! Instead, here are a few ideas you can put together in less than an hour—and for less than 20 bucks:
FIRST COOK WALTER WHITE.
Stores only sell tighty-whities in packs, but after I discovered they are the most comfortable underwear EVER, I was happy to have multiple. To up your costume's legitimacy, come packin' with a fake gun in your undies, convince a friend to be Jesse Pinkman, and don't forget your bag of blue (Pop Rocks).
WAYNE'S WORLD.
If you're a hipster, great news! You already have the saggy-butt mom jeans. If not, a couple of thrift-store trips will solve that. Throw on an '80s-band shirt and a flannel button-down for Garth or a black tee and ball cap for Wayne. Then proceed to party on.
THE DUDE.
Sandals, plaid shorts, white v-neck, bathrobe, Ray-Bans—DONE! Then plan to drink white Russians all night.
