__"Hotline Bling" Supercut__: The actual "Hotline Bling" costumes might be tough to pull off if you can't afford a ridiculously expensive Moncler jacket, so your best bet is to go as meta as possible and combine all of the "Hotline Bling" meme greatest hits. Grab a tennis racket, a Pokemon hat, and a speaker playing one of the songs from *High School Musical*.

__What Are Those?__: Tape several pairs of shoes to yourself (preferably ugly ones). Scream "What are THOOOOOOOOOSE?" at friends, passersby, and if at all possible, Michael Jordan.

__Jeb Bush in a Hoodie__: Bonus points if you 1) tape an orange thumbtack to the hoodie and 2) keep it perpetually pulled over half your body, as if you're unaware how to exist as a person several decades into life on this planet.

__Pizza Rat__: Strap several slices of pizza to your body (or just get a separate pizza costume); find a stuffed mouse to hide under your butt; flee in shame at having chosen this costume.

__Enlightened Don Draper__: Drunken finance bros, this'll be easy. All you need is khakis, a white button-down, no shoes, and extremely well-done, slightly wind-swept hair.

__Dadbod__: Spend the rest of the week letting yourself go; come Saturday, just pretend it's attractive. Maybe buy a pair of Crocs (please don't)

09
fantastic-four-ft
__Versatile "Trash" Costume__: Don several trash bags/actual items of garbage; when anyone asks what you are loudly proclaim "*Fantastic Four*," "*True Detective* Season Two," or any other item of pop culture you did not care for this year.
