Looking for an easy way to make your Halloween costume stand out from the rest? Luckily, you don’t have to get too ambitious to stick out in a crowd of all the standard witches, cats, and ghosts. Skip the complicated props and potential makeup mishaps this year, and just swap your shoes for the easiest Halloween accessory yet: roller skates.
Roller skates aren’t just a must have of the roller rink or even a core memory of summer 2020 when skating became TikTok’s favorite pandemic pastime. A pair of roller skates makes classic costumes feel unique and fun and, of course, provide a quick getaway from any monsters, demons, or ghosts you run into on Halloween night. Plus, with your skates as the centerpiece, the rest of your costume is basically a breeze. After all, even adding a pair of skates to your standard black-cat costume completely transforms it into a pretty unique look.
So make the pavement or dance floor your literal runway with a little extra mobility this Halloween. From corpse brides to cheerleaders, check out this lineup of looks that serve as the perfect roller-skate costume. And no worries — even on wheels, you’ll still be fashionably cute for the Halloween season.
