If you're anything like me, you look forward to Halloween all year long. In college, I used to plan my costumes out months in advance. Now, as a working adult, time fantasizing about Halloween costumes is limited, and I dread buying an outfit I can only wear for one night.

I recently stocked up on a bunch of clothing from the POPSUGAR at Kohl's collection, and I realized so many of them can be used for easy DIY Halloween costumes. These are perfect for anyone who isn't looking to break the bank or only buy a costume they can wear for one day. The Kohl's pieces are an easy fit in any wardrobe, and you only need a few extra additions to take home the title of "best costume" this Halloween.

The POPSUGAR Tie-Front Crop Shirt ($33, originally $44) gives this nerdy look a little sex appeal. Add in some suspenders and a pair of oversized glasses and you're ready to head out the door. Don't forget to finish off the look by draping the POPSUGAR Varsity Striped Cardigan Sweater ($37, originally $50) over your shoulders or tying it around your waist.

Put together a killer costume? Did we do that?

These lovable little characters have been a go-to Halloween costume ever since they uttered the word "banana" in 2010's Despicable Me. To create this look, start with our POPSUGAR Cropped Wide-Leg Denim Jumpsuit ($51, originally $68) and layer it over a yellow tee. Add on a yellow beanie and some minion goggles and, "bello!," you're the best dressed at the party.

Waldo may not always be easy to spot, but this costume is a stand out. Start out with Waldo's classic red and white stripes in our cozy Striped Puff-Sleeve Sweater ($37, originally $50) and pair it with our High-Waist Crop Jeans ($37, originally $50). Last but not least, you'll need a comfy pair of sneakers, a Waldo beanie, and glasses.

Fall sports are an exciting time for any fan. We decided to play off of fall's go-to sport, football, and put together a casual look that can still double as a costume.

Start out with our POPSUGAR Athletic Bomber Jacket ($52, originally $70). This jacket screams game-time vibes, and you can even add on your own athletic patches. Pair it with our black and white Colorblock Tuxedo Pants ($37, originally $50) and a pair of Adidas Superstars. Grab your team hat and tuck a football under your arm and you're ready for kickoff.

Every '90s kid is sure to remember the quirky Miss Frizzle. With her mismatched patterns and awesome adventures, it's easy to put your own spin on the iconic character. Start out with our Cherry Print Shirt Dress ($45, originally $60), which is perfect for any office or teacher wardrobe. Then, throw our Floral Bomber Jacket ($52, originally $70) over top for your second layer of pattern. Finish up the outfit with a pair of red Converse and a school bus lunch box. Now, if only we had a lizard to spare.
