  1. Find your own style

Very important to know your own style. Halloween is a great time of the year to be yourself. Are you funny? Maybe cute? Sexy? Scary? Are you hiding a piece of yourself? It`s time to show it to the world. You don't have to be something that is exactly like you, but it would make more sense to dress up as someone or something that reflects your personality.

Think of the style and color of the clothes that you normally wear. Don't be afraid to mix and match, it's Halloween and anything goes. If you have costumes from the previous years, don`t be afraid to reuse it. Wit a small creativity, you can turn it into a new one.



2. Decide your budget

Halloween costumes can range from cheap to very expensive, so it's important to have an idea on what you'd like to spend. When choosing, always check to see what's included in the costume, as some costumes will be better deals than others when add-ons are accounted for.



3. Make some research

You can look for some ideas on different sites like Pinterest. It`s full of great ideas either you are looking for a DIY project or just want to purchase something on Etsy. Pinterest is a great place to find some inspiration.



4. Planning ahead

Are you planning on making your Halloween costume? Make sure that you have enough time. You'll need an idea, first of all, so start thinking about a month before and try to allow yourself at least two weeks ahead to make and adjust the costume if you're making your own. Although it seems early, thinking ahead gives you the space to make something that fits well and gives you the chance to run down and buy more fabric or items if needed.

Don`t forget to look for sales too. If you plan ahead, you can find some cheap treasures in different places.



5. Considering other factors like weather

Very important part, especially if you live in Canada. Here the weather is normally very cold at Halloween maybe rainy. Planning a fairy costume is not the best idea because nothing will show under your winter jacket.
