Halloween is right around the corner and if you don’t already have your costume then you’re probably freaking out. Don’t stress! Check out this list of the top 10 most popular costumes for 2017. Pick one of these and you’re sure to dominate this Halloween.
- Pennywise the clown
What a shocker! With the recent release of the “IT” remake, it’s no surprise that this costume tops the list. Have fun clowning around this Halloween, but try to steer clear of storm drains and red balloons…better safe than sorry.
Unfortunately, the popularity of this costume has made it hard to find. The 2017 Pennywise costume can be purchased on Amazon for a pricey $150. The 1990 Pennywise costume can be purchased at HalloweenCostumes.com for around $70.

To purchase an Eleven dress, wig and socks, you’re looking at spending around $75.

- Hippie
The trusty last minute backup costume has made its way to the top. Time to bust out the bell bottoms, tie-dye crop tops and groovy sunglasses that have been collecting dust in your closet.
Hippie costume accessories can be purchased at almost any Halloween/costume store, but why pay Halloween store prices when you can find everything you need at a thrift store? Have fun searching through all the wacky thrift store items and save some money too!
You may be sensing a theme here, but Pinterest is full of ideas for hippie costumes.
With all these great ideas, there’s no reason for you not to have a costume this Halloween. So, take a trip to the closest Halloween store or whip out your glue gun and get to work on a costume that will blow everyone’s mind.
