Editor's Picks

Trending costumes every year tend to reflect what's happening in Hollywood, so expect plenty of Deadpool, Wolverine and Garfield looks on the horizon.

And with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" projected to be one of the biggest films of the year, you can count on seeing characters from the original film and its sequel pop up anywhere you go.

The film has also spawned tons of wearable merchandise, all of which make for a great way to casually show off your membership in the Tim Burton fandom without a full transformation.

For couples' looks, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are sure to inspire a wave of look-a-likes. Whether the dressed-up twosomes out there opt for the singer's onstage looks or her more dressed-down game day ensembles, one thing's for sure: It's the perfect lazy costume for the "Travis" of the pair -- just add a Kansas City Chiefs jersey and you're set.

Harley Quinn and Joker costumes will also be a hit with couples this year, as "Joker: Folie à Deux" hits theaters Oct. 4, just weeks ahead of the holiday.

Classic themes are always in vogue, so you can stay traditional with a vampire, ghost or other monster-inspired getup. And in addition to the "Beetlejuice" accessories mentioned above, there are plenty of other subtle Halloween pieces you can pepper into your October wardrobe to show off your Halloween spirit.
