Classic Halloween Costume: Pumpkin

Pair orange clothing — whether that's a dress, a tutu, an oversize T-shirt, or leggings and a top — with a green hair accessory, and you turn into the most iconic symbol of Halloween: a pumpkin. If you're feeling artsy, turn your face into a jack-o'-lantern using Halloween makeup, too.
