26 ’90s Group Halloween Costumes You and Your Squad Should Dress Up As
When it comes to creating a killer group Halloween costume, choosing something from the ’90s is usually a sure-win. But with ’90s trends fully back in style (read: choker necklaces, the revival of Delia’s, light-up sneakers, should we go on?) it can be a little hard to tell whether you’re actually rocking a ’90s costume or just normal clothes. This year, we vote you skip the Fresh Prince costume and instead go for one of these group costume ideas that offer just as much nostalgia but with a little extra oomph for your whole squad.
1. Rugrats: With recent talk of a Rugrats revival, the time to dress as your favorite kids’ cartoon is definitely now. Take a hint from Mae Whitman, Sarah Ramos, Alia Shawkat and Michael Angarano and go full ’90s on this thing. (Photo via Funny or Die)
