Chronically online Halloween costumes

Ideas for those who average 8+ hours of daily screen time

Need a last-minute Halloween costume that no one will understand, and you’ll have to spend your entire night explaining to those who have lives outside their phones? These are costumes for those who don’t see themselves in universally recognizable costumes, and who would rather identify with a niche internet joke some will and understand, but ultimately, most won’t.

Are approaching fans bothering you? As Lily Rose-Depp, just grip onto your lesbian musician boyfriend and white knuckle through it. Don’t forget to button your trench coat to the top.

Who says anonymous trollers can’t have fun? Prove the haters wrong, and get so lit you actually piss yourself. You can just say it was a water bottle.

The perfect couple’s costume if you’re both looking to make your exes jealous. Make everybody ask themselves, “Are they actually together?”

The bite in the air must mean it’s time for sweater weather. Spike the pumpkin spice latte, and look like you just got back from apple picking for Instagram likes.

A couple’s costume no one will understand, because those who do, don’t go outside.

Exhume your Kylie lip kit circa 2016, and tap into your inner swag. An inside lip tattoo is not required, but recommended. Bonus points if you wear $40,000 worth of Cartier love bracelets.
