Create costumes from closet

By Aymie Telinski

Finding a Halloween costume should be as easy as opening your closet door.

Consider these creative closet costumes instead of spending hours shopping for one.

“Risky Business”

Tom Cruise inspired this iconic and funny look 30 years ago.

The costume requires a white button-up shirt, white underwear, tube socks and Ray-Ban sunglasses. This costume will have you sliding around the party all night.

Regina George

Your favorite “Mean Girl’s” outfit is simple and creating it only takes a few minutes.

Find an old tank top and a colorful bra, and cut holes in the shirt to show the bra. Finish the outfit with a skirt and some heels.

She “invented” this look, you know what I mean?

Brawny man

This costume isn’t as easy to make as it requires growing a beard for the full effect. Wear a red-and-black plaid shirt with jeans, and carry around paper towel rolls. If you have an ax, don’t hesitate to pull that out, too.

Cat

Wear all black or mix in some animal print to be the puuurfect feline on the block.

Bill Cosby

My favorite pudding fanatic, Bill Cosby, is an easy Halloween costume if you have a loud ’80s sweater.

Pair the sweater with some jeans and maybe some pudding. Your best Cosby impression is also a must.

Tourist

Tuck a polo T into kakhi pants, clean up some white tennis shoes and throw on your best fanny pack. Welcome to the tourist life.

Also, make sure to ask people where to get a good burger.

The Fonz

Jeans, a white T-shirt and a leather jacket make the perfect Fonz costumes. Make sure to slick back your hair and don’t forget to give everyone the thumbs up.

Criminal

To pull off the criminal look, wear a black-and-white striped shirt and black pants or leggings. Costume lovers should also bring a pillowcase to steal the show with this costume and snag some candy, too.

Rosie the Riveter

This stylish outfit requires a button-up chambray shirt, black pants and a bandana for your hair. Put you hair up in curls and wear red lipstick. Don’t forget to show off those strong muscles.
