Straying away from the pop-up costume stores this year? Wanting to put together your own costume is totally understandable. It's not always fun running into someone who pulled their costume out of the same bag you did when you're out and about for Halloween. Browsing the internet and coming up with some Halloween costume ideas from Forever 21 will be both unique and veered towards your taste and comfort.

What an untapped gem, right? Forever 21 has definitely been there when we needed a quick but chic outfit for an impromptu night out. Why can't it serve the same purpose for Halloween? Lucky for you, Forever 21's "Into the Night" collection has everything you'd need to assemble a fun costume.

Needless to say, there is a less likely chance that others will look like you when you're out to play this Halloween.
