Each Halloween [1], we find ourselves facing the same ol' dilemma: how do we pull together a freakin' fabulous costume [2] while still putting forth the least amount of effort? It's not always easy, and it typically involves ears, but this year, we've come up with a solution that's just as simple as it is brilliant. It's called being a walker from The Walking Dead [3].
After realizing female walkers love wearing maxis [4], it became obvious that a dress or skirt were the only pieces we needed to re-create their look (along with a bit of light-colored makeup). Scroll through for some photo evidence, then shop a style to wear this Halloween — and beyond.
Proof That Walkers Love Maxi Dresses and Skirts
The key to making this costume something special? Light "walker" makeup, messy hair, and an oversize sweater to layer with if you're cold.
