Halloween Costume Essentials: Unanticipated Outfits You'll Fall for

In the spirit of Halloween, various retailers are offering a range of unusual and humorous costumes this year.

Yandy.com, an online retailer known for its unique costumes, is causing a stir with its latest offerings. The platform is selling a costume inspired by the college admissions scandal involving Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin. The costume, named "Mom of the Year" crossed out with "Inmate" underneath, retails for $69.95.

Another intriguing offering from Yandy.com is a costume inspired by Popeyes' popular chicken sandwich. Essentially a fast food-inspired leotard, it costs $79.95.

Meanwhile, Amazon is joining in the fun with a cowboy dog costume, priced under $20. Unlike traditional pet costumes, this one rides on top of the pet, not the pet wearing it.

As Halloween approaches, pet owners are getting into the spirit. Americans are expected to spend $490 million on pet costumes this year, with Kansas pet owners being the most likely to dress up their pets.

Target sold out of the most wholesome costume of the season, 'Golden Girls' costumes. However, other retailers like Party City are offering similar costumes. Party City is selling a UPS Driver costume for $14.99, complete with attached arms and a delivery box.

Natural Light, a beer brand, is running a costume contest with the theme "real-life nightmares". Costumes in the contest include crushing student debt, bad credit scores, never-ending laundry, and moving in with parents. One winner of the contest will receive $10,000, and 10 runners up will earn $1,000. To enter, fans must use the hashtags #NattyScaries and #Contest on Instagram or Twitter.

Yandy.com has also joined the fray with a costume based on political tariffs.

It seems this Halloween, the costumes are as entertaining as the events they're inspired by!
