One of 10 Halloween costumes

Black Cat

Independent, curious, does exactly what they want.

You do your own thing and you never chase approval. A black cat costume fits because it is cool, low-maintenance and a little aloof, just like you.

It is also the fastest costume on this list: an all-black outfit, ears and three whiskers, and you can still walk, dance and sit down comfortably.

Why it’s you

How to make it

  • +Wear all black: jeans or leggings and a top, or a black dress
  • +Ears: a headband with felt or card triangles glued on
  • +Draw a small black nose and three whiskers on each cheek
  • +Make a tail from a black sock stuffed with tissue, or a strip of black felt
  • +Winged eyeliner for cat eyes

Tips

  • !A bell on a ribbon around your neck makes it read instantly
  • !Bring a small eyeliner to touch up the whiskers later

Group or couple version

A black cat with a witch is a classic pair; a group can be a litter of cats in black, grey, orange and white.

For fun. Costume ideas only; check your school’s, office’s or venue’s rules about masks, make-up and props before you go.
