Minnie Mouse is probably one of the most basic Disney costumes for girls to be on Halloween. The beneficial part about Minnie is that you can have fun pulling off your own depiction of her. Get the real deal Minnie Mouse ears, or put your hair into buns and call it a day. No one's judging.

Striped shirt, big glasses, and a red beanie are the simple ingredients to being Waldo. This is another costume option that can be tweaked to your liking. Since it's so basic, it often gives you enough wiggle room to make it your own without straying too far away from the costume's theme.

Extra whip? No problem. Starbucks drinks are made to order, so you most definitely have to deliver that caffeinated energy to your coffee beverage costume and whatever festivities you end up going to. After all, a PSL is a gal's best friend, amiright?

08Bags Of Wine

This takes the cake for brilliantly basic. Who's not guilty of taking out the entire bag of wine from its prepackaged box? Not only will everyone know exactly what you are, but you're wine. What's not to love about the lovely liquid we'd take over a tall glass of whatever on any given day?

Taking it back to the basics for Halloween doesn't denote being hype about celebrating. It might take less time getting dressed, but you've got more minutes to slay the night.
