This Is Going to Be the Biggest Halloween Costume of 2016

From Good Housekeeping

Time to scoop up a pink dress and a bomber jacket. The biggest Halloween costume this year is going to be Eleven from Netflix's hit show Stranger Things - even for babies - according to an analysis by the fashion site Lyst.

Lyst predicts the psychokinetic kid will be trending for Halloween 2016 based on the fact that last week, this ASOS Peter Pan dress was clicked on once every three minutes. Plus, a whopping 80% of the folks looking at it also searched for "tube socks," another element of the Eleven costume. Bomber jackets have also seen a massive spike, says Lyst - all the more evidence pointing to Eleven's popularity this year.

For folks who aren't (yet) Stranger Things fans, there are lots of other costumes that are sure to be everywhere this year. Here are a few of our biggest predictions.

Snapchat Filters

The rainbow tears, pretty butterflies and dog noses are bound to be huge. Need ideas on pulling this fun theme off? We've got 13 of them right here!

Harley Quinn

Considering Suicide Squad was one of the most anticipated and highest grossing films of 2016, it's no wonder that people are already planning their Harley Quinn costumes. Multicolored pigtails, fishnets and ever-so-slightly deranged clown makeup will help you pull it off.

Pokemon

With the massive popularity of the Pokemon Go app came a renewed love for all things related to the original card game. Expect to see Pikachu, Squirtle and Charizard all over the place this year - here's how you can join in.

Deadpool

This hilarious action-comedy broke records to become the highest grossing rated-R movie of all time, so naturally, it's going to be a huge costume this Halloween. While it'll be easy to find store-bought versions, you could take it a step further by doing your own Deadpool makeup.

Emojis

There's no better way to combine your love of texting with the ease of a simple DIY costume than to dress up as your favorite emojis! These 13 emoji costume ideas should get you started.

Ghostbusters

This 2016 reboot featured four of our favorite actresses on the planet and was so much fun to watch. So many kids (and adults!) across America are guaranteed to throw on beige jumpsuits and start fighting ghosts all over the place.
