Bring on the ghouls and ghosts because Halloween season is upon us!


Attending–and hosting–fun Halloween parties, checking out community events, and of course, trick-or-treating, are just a few fun activities to enjoy during Halloween. However, whatever you’re planning, you will need a good Halloween costume!


Whether you love to plan your costume weeks (or maybe even months!) ahead of time, or if you tend to be more of a last-minute person, there are plenty of costume options for you out there.  And, wherever you are located, you can ship Halloween costumes internationally with a free Trans-Express U.S. shipping address!


Although there are many costumes that come and go with each year–such as current popular movie characters–there are many costumes that have stood the test of time.


A few of the all-time most popular Halloween costumes include:



  1. Cat: Cool cats know that cat costumes will always be in style!  Although the most popular iteration is always a black cat, other types include tabby cats, Siamese, and white cats. Cat costumes are some of the easiest to assemble - you just need a leotard and tights, cat tail, and cat-ear headband.

  2. Pirate:  From Pirates of the Caribbean to Peter Pan, some of the most beloved movie and literary characters in the world are pirates. There’s even a Talk Like A Pirate Day! Whether you’re a man, woman, child, or baby, a pirate is always a fun costume.

  3. Ghost: It doesn’t get much easier than a ghost costume! As long as you have a white bed sheet, you’re good to go! Just make sure to try on the sheet and trace the eye holes in pencil first so you know where to cut.

  4. Vampire: A perennial Halloween favorite, a vampire costume is an absolute classic! Although there are endless iterations and variations, just make sure you don’t forget the cape!

  5. Cheerleader: Go, team! Cheerleader costumes are always a hit with both kids and adults. Just get a basic cheerleader costume, grab some pom poms, and get ready to cheer!

  6. Athlete: Speaking of cheering, athlete costumes are always a great choice on Halloween. The most popular athletic costumes include baseball, basketball, soccer, and football. Similar to sports players, ballerina costumes also rank highly.

  7. Superhero: Whether you’re picking a costume for kids or adults, superhero costumes rank highly on every popular Halloween costume top-ten list. Superman, Supergirl, Batman, Batgirl, Spiderman, and the Hulk are just a few of the most popular types of superhero costumes.

  8. Star Wars: Star Wars is always popular! Ever since the early 80s, both kids and adults have enjoyed dressing up as their favorite Star Wars characters. Stormtroopers, Jedis, Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke, Leia, and Rey are some of the most popular Star Wars costumes.

  9. Policeman/Firefighter: Real-life superheroes like firefighters and policemen have always been well-loved costume options for both kids and adults.

  10. Witch: You don’t need any hocus pocus to create a witch costume! Since witch costumes are so simple, spooky, classic–and comfortable–they never go out of style!
