At Pepco, you'll find a handful of ideas for original 90s-style Halloween costumes and decorations that will make this day unforgettable. You don't have to spend a fortune – all it takes is a little creativity, good fun, and… maybe a few spiders!

Let's start with the most important thing:how to dress up to stand out in the crowd? After all, you don't want to be another person in a classic vampire costume, right? Unless you have exceptionally sharp fangs! Here are some ideas for Halloween costumes that will be trending in 2024.The 90s style is the biggest hit this season!

To organize a 90s-style Halloween, it's worth starting by creating the right atmosphere, inspired by this iconic decade. The 90s are back on the wave of retro trends, and consequently, you can go for costumes inspired by that period. Think a character from the iconic seriesFriendswon't fit for Halloween? Think again!Rachel Green with her signature hairstyles, or Chandler Bing in an ill-fitting suit and with ironic remarks can be a bullseye. Additionally, costumes inspired by 90s hits likeBuffy the Vampire Slayer, or pop stars like the Spice Girls, or characters from Scooby-Doo, will be great for a party with friends and family.

Music is a key element: prepare a playlist of 90s hits that will evoke nostalgia and put everyone in a great mood. When organizing games and activities, go for classics like bobbing for apples (catching apples from water without using hands)or a best costume contest. This approach will allow all guests to feel the spirit of Halloween from years past, full of joy and nostalgic fun.

If Halloween 2024 is to be not only fun but also conscious, go for eco-costumes! Instead of buying a ready-made, "plastic" costume – make it yourself from things you have at home. Cardboard boxes, old clothes, or items found in the attic can become elements for creating something unique and, most importantly, ecological. Maybe a cardboard robot or a recycled scarecrow? Kids will love this idea, and you'll feel like a true upcycling master!
