With Halloween just around the corner, many of us are scrambling to get a good costume together. 

But you might hit the dilemma of what to dress up as. Traditional costumes are fine; you'll always get away with a vampire, witch or a devil. 

And then sometimes you come across costumes that aren't so great and are SO over-done they've just become basic and boring.

Avoid these get-ups at all costs:

Nerd

It was in about five years ago. It's NOT in anymore. 

 

Cat ears

Could you get anymore basic?!

 

Minnie Mouse

We're SO over this one.

 

Minion

Last year, everyone in the world dressed up as a Minion. You can do better.

 

School girl

You can come up with something more imaginative than that!
