Halloween and I have a notoriously tortured relationship. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not—to mix holiday metaphors—a total grinch.
I liked it as a kid. What’s not to like about Halloween as a kid? You get to wear silly costumes! And go out after dark with your friends when you weren’t even old enough to see an R rated movie! And candy?! I mean…
But like patriarchal themes in Disney movies you can’t unsee, adulthood ruined Halloween for me.
I’d rather skip a party and get cozy under a blanket for an annual Hocus Pocus rewatch.
But, hey, that’s me! If you are a party animal in search of the perfect costume, we’ve got you covered here at SG HQ.
And good news, this one is easy, stylish, and might already be waiting in your closet.
Because that Ted Lasso costume you wore a few years back?
Good news, it’s still good!
The show has been off the air a few years now, but there’s rumblings of a reboot, and honestly, the look is still instantly recognizable, which is what you want from a costume.
Truly, Ted Lasso offers everything you could want in an easy, stylish Halloween costume.
A Ted Lasso Halloween costume reigns supreme for a couple reasons:
- The character has great personal style already, so you’ll actually look cool on Halloween for a change.
- You already have almost everything you need for the costume in your closet at home.
- There’s still time to grow a mustache before your Halloween party.
You even have two ways you could go with your costume: Training Day Ted Lasso, or Game Day Ted Lasso.
Wear a v-neck sweater, Oxford cotton button down, and flat-front chinos for “Game Day” Ted Lasso.
And the training day costume? Even easier! Throw on Adidas track pants and a performance polo, and you’re basically good to go.
Scoop an AFC Richmond emblem off Amazon for under $10 if you really want to go the extra mile.
Or kilometer, as the case may be.
