9 Ways to Turn Blue Jeans Into a Last-Minute Halloween Costume

Couples costume alert! If you’re even halfway interested in fashion, there’s a good chance you can make this costume work in a homemade way. You’ll need a pair of ripped light blue jeans (don’t have any? Here’s a great guide on how to rip jeans yourself), black pumps, a black overcoat, and a white “going out” shirt. (In a pinch, you can cut a white T-shirt.) Straighten your hair and contour the hell out of your face.
Your guy just needs his normal blue jeans, tan sneakers or boots, a white button down, a gold chain, a navy overcoat, one of your fur collars, and a cocky expression. Carrying around a fake baby is ideal if you want to drive the point home.

Take advantage of the mom-jeans resurgence and rock yours with a tight white tank top, tucked in. Amp up your hair’s volume like cray, draw on a mole, add some hoop earrings, and walk around with a can of Pepsi all night. Brilliant!

If you’ve got a full-length denim gown, by all means, be Britney Spears, but we’re betting there’s a better chance that a pair of light-wash blue jeans are living in your closet. From there, head to your nearest thrift store and find a big men’s denim jacket or blazer (light blue will do if jean proves difficult).

If you can’t find a denim fedora (fair), cut up an old pair of jeans and use a hot glue gun to affix strips to a hat you already own. Add cheesy aviators, some bling, and drawn-on sideburns and you’re done.

Looking for a group Halloween costume? Grab your posse and make sure everyone’s in light mom jeans. Then, all wear T-shirts in different solid colors — rolled up sleeves are a must. Mix up who wears white sneaks and who wears Doc Martens (or some sort of motorcycle boots.) Pity the friend that’s stuck being Andrea.

Select a pair of blue jeans, and basically layer as many tops and coats as you can (one across the shoulders, of course.) From there, add designer — but unassuming — accessories. (If you’re dressing as a fashion blogger as opposed to a street style star, make sure you pile on the Celine and Chanel, and carry around a plate of avocado toast.)

Grab your favorite faded jeans, and pair 'em with a white Hanes T-shirt with rolled up sleeves. Find an embellished belt in your closet or a thrift store, then tuck a red baseball cap into your back pocket. To drive the point home, add a red or American flag-print bandana around your head.

This one’s as easy as throwing on a high-waisted pair of light jeans and adding a lace bustier, bodysuit, or bra. Wear you hair up, slap on some false eyelashes, and strike poses all night.

Cut a pair of light blue jeans into teeny-tiny shorts, tie up a flannel shirt, add a pushup bra. Oh, and don’t forget the '70s hair.

OK fine, this costume is more overplayed than a sexy nurse, but if you’re really in the eleventh hour, it's a breeze. Grab a pair of straight blue jeans, add a red and white striped shirt, a beanie, thick specs, and a cane.
