4. Ketchup and Mustard

Ketchup and Mustard works best as a couples costume, but it is one of the simplest to pull off.

What you'll need:

oversized red T-shirt, oversized yellow T-shirt, marker

 

Simply take your marker and write "ketchup" and "mustard" across the front of your T-shirts. It's that easy!

 

5. Jack-o-lantern

The Jack-o-lantern is very similar to Ketchup and Mustard, but much easier to pull of solo.

What you'll need:

oversized orange T-shirt, marker

 

Just draw a jack-o-lantern face on your T-shirt and you have a jack-o-lantern costume!
