Halloween Costume Trends For the “Buy Online” Mom
Walking into a store to try and find your child a Halloween costume is like walking into a brightly lit haunted house. But it’s not because the costumes are scary- it’s because trying to get your child to decide on one costume is a terrifying ordeal. And heaven forbid you buy a costume too early and then your child decides they want to be something else! Take all the scary out of the equation with these top last minute Halloween costume trends that will make your children actually want to stick with their original costume. The best part? You don’t have to actually walk into a Halloween store.
The Descendants Halloween Costumes
The Descendants are a popular character for this year’s Halloween costumes for both boys and girls. The third and final movie of the popular Disney series came out in August, so kids are still talking about it which will make your pre-teen giddy with excitement to be their favorite character. Spirit Halloween makes it easy for your child to pick which Descendants Halloween costume they want, as well as makes it easy for you because they will send it right to your door.
Mermaid Halloween Costumes
Another fan favorite this Halloween is mermaids. Mermaids have been on trend for the past couple years and it’s not slowing down any time soon. And with the new live action Little Mermaid set to come out next year, we are guessing that you still have a few years of mythical sea people in your life. This mermaid costume from Spirit Halloween is perfect for your little girl or boy who just wants to dress up as a fantastic mystical mermaid while still being able to walk (read: run) from house to house collecting their Halloween candy. Add a mermaid face stencil to their costume for an added bonus, and it will soon become their favorite costume for the season.
