Halloween Looks Different For Everyone
Some people love putting together a one-of-a-kind costume. Others are just looking for seasonal inspiration, great thrift finds or exclusive savings.
This October, Goodwill is celebrating Halloween with two ways to get involved.
Ready to show off your creativity or simply want to stay connected all month long? There’s a way for everyone to join the fun.
Thrift Your Halloween
One of the best parts about creating a Halloween costume is making it your own. Instead of buying a pre-packaged costume that hundreds of other people might wear, shopping at Goodwill gives you the chance to build something that’s completely original.
From vintage clothing, colorful accessories, unique shoes or unexpected props, you’ll find plenty of possibilities throughout our stores. Creating a thrifted costume is not only budget-friendly, but it’s also a sustainable way to celebrate Halloween by giving pre-loved items a second life.
Even better, every purchase at Goodwill helps support local job training, employment services and programs that strengthen communities throughout Massachusetts. That means your Halloween costume can make an impact long after October ends.
Inspiration Is Everywhere
Not sure where to begin? Sometimes all it takes is one interesting thrifted find to spark an idea.
A dress, jacket, sweater, shirt or unexpected accessory can become the starting point for a one-of-a-kind Halloween costume. With a little creativity, everyday Goodwill finds can transform into everything from classic characters and pop culture favorites to spooky, funny and completely original looks.
Scroll through the ideas below and see what inspires your Halloween look.
These examples are only the beginning. Add your own accessories, mix different pieces together and create a costume that’s uniquely yours.
