All the Best Warm Costumes for When Halloween Inevitably Gets Too Cold

Let me guess, you actually planned ahead for your Halloween costume for once, but your cute little number isn't gonna cut it for the freezing forecast come Oct. 31. I, too, have been stuck with a costume that's meant for 80 degree weather when it's actually snowing outside, and let me tell you, it isn't fun throwing on a sweatsuit when you desperately wanted to be a mermaid! To avoid that scenario completely, try one of these warm costumes instead. Also, if you can't gather in an indoor space given the current circumstances, these will work even better if you're planning on being outside all night.

Ahead, I've rounded up 36 costume ideas that you can pull together last minute if you need to switch to an outfit that'll keep you toasty. Jackets, faux-fur coats, pants, hats, and/or gloves are essential parts of these looks, so you're able to feel comfortable without sacrificing your whole aesthetic. From couples costumes to group costumes, here are amazing costume ideas if you need to stay warm this Halloween.
