Top Trending Halloween Costumes For 2022

Emojis

Dressing up as an emoji is a great way for kids, teens, and adults alike to express themselves this Halloween! Plus, it’s easy to create a DIY emoji costume so you can save money.

All you have to do is cut a large circle out of a piece of cardboard and paint the emoji of your choice on it, whether that’s a smiley, winky, or sad face. Then punch two holes into the cardboard and thread a string through them so you can wear the emoji around your neck.

If you’re not very crafty and would rather buy an emoji costume, Spirit Halloween has lots of good options for kids and adults.

Star Wars

Tales of the Jedi is debuting this week on Disney Plus, so we expect to see lots of people wearing Star Wars costumes this Halloween! Girls will love these Princess Leia and Rey costumes, while boys will enjoy dressing up as Han Solo or Darth Vader.

Superheroes

You can’t go wrong with a classic superhero costume, especially if you’re trying to match with friends or family. You can all go as characters from the Marvel Universe like Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Storm, and Captain Marvel. Or represent the DC Universe instead by dressing up as Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, The Flash, or Green Lantern.

Steampunk is a popular aesthetic inspired by science fiction and Victorian fashion. It’s predicted to be one of the top trending Halloween costumes for 2022, and luckily it’s super easy to DIY.

Simply find a Victorian themed outfit you like, such as trousers, a vest, and a newsboy cap.

You can find all of these steampunk items at the thrift store to create a simple, affordable Halloween costume for kids or adults.

Minions

Minions are beloved animated characters from the movie Despicable Me and are always a popular Halloween costume option. You can either buy your family minion costumes from a store like Party City, or just wear overalls, yellow tees, and goggles for a more affordable DIY version.
