What do we want? Squid Game Halloween costumes! When do we want them? Now! Seriously though, the people have spoken and Netflix's latest breakout original series is causing quite a stir—by dominating our TVs, but also by causing an undeniable Halloween trend.
The best part, of course, is that dressing up as a character from Squid Game isn't all that elaborate. At most, you need a tracksuit, a mask, and those token Vans sneakers. Actually, Vans are proof of the Squid Game effect. According to Variety, sales of simple, white slip-on Vans have spiked 7,800 percent since the series first debuted.
Whether that's because it's a timeless wardrobe staple or because everyone is planning to dress up as Squid Game characters this October 31st, we can't officially say. Still, it doesn't seem like a coincidence. If you're interested in rocking a Squid Game Halloween costume, check out our best picks below.
