Fall is here, October is right around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes! Here are a few of our favorite costumes for Floridians to help get those gears turning.
1. Flip Flops
Our official state footwear makes a super cute costume for best friends. You can even call them Flip and Flop.
2. Evil/Zombie Princesses
Everybody does the Disney princess thing, but how much cooler are their zombie versions?
3. Pirates
Pirates are pretty popular in Florida, especially in places where sunken treasure has been found. And yes, there were female pirates, and, yes, they were awesome.
4. Shark Attack
Sharks have become so popular they've taken over a week of the year, and shark costumes are always a crowd-pleaser. Just be aware you may meet someone who doesn't think it's so funny.
5. Florida Black Bear
This is one of those costumes that's versatile. It can be funny, or it can be used to jump out closets and scare the crap out of people. Win-win.
6. Mermaids
No matter your age, size, or gender, the mermaid is a classic Florida icon that can make an attention-grabbing costume for almost anyone.
7. Anything Gator-Related
Go ahead and dress up as a gator (or confuse the heck out of your dog) for your Halloween party and see how many friends you make.
8. Flamingo
How sassy is this fabulous flamingo?
9. The Skunkape
AKA Florida's Bigfoot. We've been searching for him for years out in the swamps. While you have the costume you can go ahead and make a video to sell to a tabloid, too.
10. Lobster/Sea Creature
Lobster cat (or dog) would be the perfect companion to a mermaid or shark costume. Why not get everybody in on the fun?
