The 21 Best Meme Halloween Costumes That Will #BreaktheInternet
The internet is a breeding ground for memes, trends, and any/all goings-on. It seems like each day a new idea grows legs, and suddenly everyone is talking about it everywhere. Some just happen (like the blue or white dress), while others have been around for years (like cat breading). While each would be a huge win as a Halloween costume, some are certainly better than others. Here, 21 of the absolute best internet meme costumes to help you slay this Halloween.
1. The Dress: This debate was one that divided families, ended friendships, and made you question your relationship. And now, the optical illusion is a totally wearable Halloween costume. (via Brit + Co)
2. Snap Flower Crown Filter: It’s one of your most used filters, and who can blame you? The airbrushed-like skin and the crown of blooms can make *anyone* look like a true flower queen. (via Brit + Co)
3. Netflix + Chill: This is the ultimate couple’s costume that will have all your friends going YAAAAS. Netflix and chill probably wins for hilarious yet kinda sexy slang of the year, and this outfit is so easy to DIY too. (via Brit + Co)
