Halloween Costumes Perfect for the Office


There are two types of people in the world. Those who love Halloween and those who don’t. If you’re in the former camp, and you happen to work in an office that encourages costumes on October 31, we have a few work-friendly ideas for you.

Clark Kent
This might be the very best office costume for someone who doesn’t want to feel like they’re wearing one at work. All you do is wear a regular suit with a superman shield beneath your button-down. Throw on some plastic spectacles and you’re set!

Flo from Progressive Auto Insurance
Sure to be recognizable, this one is easier than it looks. Don an all white ensemble, add an apron, dark bobbed wig and navy headband. Don’t forget the red lipstick and quirky spirit!

Ferris Bueller
Head over to your local thrift store for a plain white tee, some throwback jeans and an 80s vest. You’ll be the hit of the party and maybe they’ll have you lead the parade?

Bad Yearbook Photo
We all remember the days of tacky-yet-fancy backdrops and school photos that never turned out quite right! Master that teenage angst by wearing a badly outdated outfit and create your own cheesy background on tagboard to wear on your back.

**Run, Forrest, Run. **
Grab some running clothes from the thrift store and pair them with a beard to replicate Forrest Gump’s extended run across the country. Remember to perfect your southern drawl!

Brawny Man
So simple. Pull on some jeans, rugged boots and a comfy plaid flannel shirt. Walk around with a roll of Brawny paper towels attached to your hand. You can offer to help your co-workers clean up their spills in the break room!

Men in black
This costume works great solo or with a partner. War a black suit, add some black sunglasses, and walk around with your own “memory eraser” made from a jumbo marker and duct tape.

Clue Characters
Here’s a great group costume idea that’s a lot of fun at work. Dress up like characters from the board game. Try to have a Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, Miss Scarlet, and Mrs. White. Then have your other coworkers guess whodunit!
