The Best Halloween Costumes for Girls With Glasses

Nothing is more adorable than turning into a makeshift-minion for Halloween night. Invest in yellow-everything, strap into those blue overalls, black rain-boots and rubber gloves, double up on the thickness of those frames and work on your minion-lingo. First lesson: “hello” is “bello” and “goodbye” is “poopaye” – that should get you started!

Give Waldo a run for his money by showing up in stripes and a knitted cap with thick-framed spectacles. Also another great costume to help you work in some of your summer pieces – denim skirt, anyone? As an added accessory, we like the idea of holding up a paddle sign that says “HERE!”

First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis may have ranked as the 35th wife of the president of the United States, but as far as trendsetting women in history, she forever tops our list at #1.

To do this costume justice, we recommend looking into some dark-tinted sunglasses (prescription-grade if needed, which are a great investment in general) and a fabulous pastel skirt-suit or dress. If you don’t have a Kennedy-worthy matching set at your disposal, we suggest checking out your local thrift store for DIY inspiration or the closest costume shop, which are always stocked with lady-like options for these types of costumes.

In a rush? Tape down the bridge on your frames and dust off every bit of plaid or print at your disposable. Get creative with a kick-me sign on your back, borrow a pair of suspenders and tie your hair into a braid or ponytail. Voila! Geek-chic.

Of the star-studded cast from the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, we loved the quirky genius behind the character of mad scientist and inventor Jillian Hotzmann, who definitely worked to the beat of her own drum. So flip out and funk up that hair, pick out some kooky shades, fasten yourself into a belted oversized jumpsuit and ask anyone who’ll listen – “Who ya gonna call?!”

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that Stranger Things isn’t just a popular Netflix show – it’s the popular Netflix show of all shows. A recurring character in season one, Barb Holland (played by actress Shannon Purser) is an easily-recognizable character with her distinct 80’s “bad haircut” and prim wardrobe – and don’t forget that perfect pair of geek-chic eyeglasses!

All that’s needed for this one are orange or beige prison-style scrubs (any uniform store should carry, as well as costume shops) and some black framed glasses. Oh – and a “don’t mess with me” attitude helps.

Velma from Scooby Doo is one of the original animated brainy-babes of television, and we love her in all her geeky glory.

The best kind of nerd, this costume is a super easy DIY project for fans of the show looking to pay tribute this Halloween.

For this one, you’ll need sensible shoes, thick stockings, a long skirt, sweater vest layered over button-down, a crossbody book bag and a killer pair of prescription lenses.

In true steam-punk style, anything goes – so get creative with this one and work your best gothic and punk attire, making sure to opt for goggle-style frames.

Call it cliché, but everyone loves a sexy cop. The over-sexed occupational hot-girl bit may seem played out, but if you’re in a bind, and you’ve got 5 minutes to close at the costume shop, this outfit is always an easy pick. If all they’ve got are jumpsuits that look crafted for unrealistic body types, pick up a pair of reflective shades, a badge and a hat and DIY the rest of the look with a fitted button down or dark t-shirt and pants. It may be Halloween, but you have the right to remain fully-clothed!

Work those hips and master the talk that made the king of rock’n’roll famous. Funky frames and a white jumpsuit with as many glitter accents as you can find work well here – add a cape for bonus points and go crazy with the hair gel.
