Ready to bring out your inner nerd and anthropomorphic aardvark? This easy Arthur costume is for you.

Find a yellow or orange long sleeve shirt or sweater, round glasses, and some big ears.

Mouse ears will do the trick since aardvark ears are a little harder to come by.

If you are a Back To The Future fan but don’t want to hassle with makeup or invest in crazy and expensive costumes, this Marty McFly costume is the perfect alternative.

This costume is simple to put together and looks exactly like the movie.

Grab an orange vest, denim long-sleeved shirt (to go under the vest), a blue and white plaid shirt, and jeans, and finish the outfit off with white sneakers.

They don’t have to be super clean. You are time traveling after all so dirty sneakers are a-okay.

4 — Pizza Delivery Man Costume

This costume works just as well as a singles costume as it does a couples costume.

So grab up an old T-shirt, some jeans, sneakers, a hat, and some headphones for a great pizza delivery man costume.

Pro tip: You can carry around an empty pizza box or step this costume up a notch and use a pizza box with real pizza inside and eat a slice whenever you want! 

5 — Star Trek Costume
