Enter the 11 easy costume ideas ahead, the materials for which you'll likely find in your PJ collection. Scroll through for a few suggestions and tips on how to make 'em, then prepare to step out in the comfiest getup you've ever worn.

An oversize shirt plus an eye mask and you're set. Carry your cat around for some extra effect.

Rizzo From Grease

Look at you, you're . . . not Sandra Dee! You're Rizzo, pretending to be her, in a purple pajama top and a blonde wig. Way to stand out from the pack!

Paris Hilton, Circa 2003

Pink tracksuit? Check. Flip flops? Check. Ability to randomly say "that's hot" throughout the night? Check, check, and check.

The Mom From Mean Girls

Basically the same idea as Paris, only a bit more fun. If you're willing to take things to the next level, pin a stuffed dog to your shirt!

Carrie Bradshaw From Sex and the City

Carrie isn't the only one who can make PJs look cool! Grab your cutest set, shrug on a furry coat, add a sparkly hat, one glove, and boots, and bam — you're ready to party (or for bed).

The Girl From Seven Year Itch

Yes, Marilyn's most iconic costume from that film is a breezy white dress, but she also rocks a cozy robe, too. All you need now is a short blond wig!

07
Wendy From Peter Pan

Wendy From Peter Pan

Nightgowns are so underrated. Snag yourself a blue one and say you're Wendy while celebrating, then happily plop down and doze off once the night is over.

Any Lost Boy From Peter Pan

Those kids all got lost in the best footie pajamas.

Pair a sleek matching set with heels. And when people ask you about your costume, just reply, "What costume? This is my trendiest outfit."

A Walker From The Walking Dead

While walkers do love their maxi skirts, they also like layering, so pile on your coziest (and maybe most worn) items in shades of brown and gray. Bonus: you don't even have to brush your hair.

Eleven From Stranger Things
Netflix

Eleven From Stranger Things

Eleven in a t-shirt, Eleven in a hospital gown, Eleven in a blond wig — the Stranger Things character will no doubt be one of the most popular costumes of the year. Go the easiest route and grab an oversize yellow tee plus a short wig (or just put your hair up), then make sure to give intense stares wherever you go.
