Inspiring Women To Dress Up As This Halloween

Halloween is the perfect opportunity to dress up as your true self. Here are some ideas to honor the important women in history while staying warm this October 31^st.

Rosie the Riveter

This costume is a classic last-minute Halloween look because it’s super easy and super cute. All you need is a denim long sleeve shirt, a red bandana, and a bold lip. But the best part? If you don’t already own one or more of these items, you can wear them again on any non-spooky day.

Beyoncé

(Or, for the pun-inclined, Bee-yoncé)

 Beyoncé is a feminist (and fashion) icon, and the best part about this costume is that there are so many Beyonce’s to dress up as.
