6. Wednesday Addams
All 90s kids remember The Addams Family, and Wednesday Addams is one of those super easy Halloween costume ideas! Just find a black fit and flare dress with long sleeves, and layer it over a white collared shirt. Then just braid your hair and rock a smokey eye and you’re good to go!
7. Madeline
Growing up, Madeline was one of my favorite cartoons. Hearing the opening narration makes me so nostalgic! It’s really easy to dress up as Madeline as well. Just look for a yellow or blue shift dress, then pair with knee socks, Mary Janes, and a hat.

Easy Halloween costumes are also an excuse to wear outfits you wouldn’t be able to wear everyday. Glitter dresses with silver pumps would look tacky on any other day. But if you’re going as Romy and Michelle, you’ve nailed your 90s Halloween costume.
