Halloween lets everyone embrace the impossible. At one party, you're dressed up as an 80s rock legend ready to take the stage in front of a roaring crowd. The next night, you're a figment of your own imagination, wearing an outfit that resembles the burrito you ate earlier that day. There's a freedom that comes with picking out a Halloween costume, which means you can go with a nod to pop culture, something food-inspired or a look that's downright meme-worthy. But if you feel like time is ticking, browse through these ridiculously easy Halloween costumes to find your 2021 look.

Before you fill up your Amazon cart with craft supplies, makeup, wigs and other costume accessories, take a closer look at what you already have stashed away in your closet because most of the DIY Halloween costumes on this list can be made with supplies you already have at home.

With so many options to choose from, you're bound to find the best Halloween costume fit for any party theme: classic crowd-pleasers (cute cats, bats and deer), costumes that bring the puns ("smarty pants") and scary Halloween looks that'll give everyone a thrill (gauzy ghosts).
