Open Image Modal
Two words: Pant. Suit. The Democratic presidential candidate front-runner, and defender of the brightly coloured female two-piece, has become a dominant force in both politics and popular media. Ten bucks says the pantsuit will be a fashion trend in 2016/2017. And if you have any friends who are Republicans, this costume (and the thought of Clinton actually getting elected) will be absolutely hair-raising. Your partner can be: Bill Clinton or Bernie Sanders. (credit:AFP via Getty Images)

It’s been less than the a month since the major Snapchat update that brought rainbow puke and oversized crocodile tears into our lives, and the former is already set to be one of the biggest Halloween costumes of 2015. If you, like most fashion people, have an arsenal of make-up options at the ready (read: high-functioning Sephora addiction), this can make for a easy last-minute option in a pinch.Your partner can be: The scary-faced Snapchat update.

3. The '70s Trend(06 of29)
Open Image Modal
Embrace the '70s trend of 2015… but like, a little too much. We can’t (legally) recommend taking a bunch of acid and hitting the mall for outfit options, so maybe go with a safer alternative like digging through your mom’s closet and putting on everything even vaguely reminiscent of "Saturday Night Fever". Aim for flare pants, suede, leather, denim, turtlenecks and psychedelic prints. Mom wasn’t down with disco and hate second-hand stores? Pretty much every retailer should be stocking '70s-inspired pieces you can buy from.Your partner can be: Also up in the 70s trend. (credit:Gettystock)

4. All-Female Ghostbusters(10 of29)
Open Image Modal
Who ya gonna call this Halloween? Your three closest gal pals, that’s who. With the announcement earlier this year of an all-female cast for the upcoming "Ghostbusters" remake, along with the jumpsuit trend in full swing, there’s never been a better time to simplify your Halloween costume a one-piece or boiler suit and an old dust buster.Your partner can be: Another Ghostbuster or a ghost.

5. Choupette(12 of29)

Sexy kitty is never a good look. Like… ever. However, Choupette, fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld’s multi-million dollar feline, is always the purrrrfect option. Break out your best winter whites, strap on a pair of white cat ears and find yourself an ‘Uncle Karl’ to complete to the look. (TIP: You can find a lot furry accessories on Etsy and Cosplay websites.)Your partner can be: Karl Lagerfeld, obv. (credit:Facebook)

6. Joan Holloway/Harris(14 of29)
Open Image Modal
With "Mad Men" wrapping production forever earlier this year, it feels fitting that we pay one last tribute to the style icon that was Joan Holloway. Christina Hendrick’s hourglass office manager (read: queen of the sexy secretaries) helped redefine popular standards of beauty as well as propel 1960s fashions back into the zeitgeist. Aim for a pencil skirt, tight top tucked in and belt it around the middle to get your own curves. Either that or the most form-fitting dress you can pour yourself into. Complete the look with some fake eyelashes and red lipstick for days. Flaming ginger beehive wig is a must, of course.Your partner can be: Roger Stirling or Peggy Olsen.

7. Zombie Carrie Bradshaw(18 of29)
Open Image Modal
While hopes for a third "Sex and the City" movie were quashed earlier this year by franchise author Candace Bushnell, bring back the beloved series in your own way with a Zombie Carrie Bradshaw. Put it together with a pink or black tutu, sky-high heels and fake blood. The only person who should be wearing more makeup than Carrie Bradshaw alive is Carried Bradshaw dead, we say. Your partner can be: Zombie Samanatha or Zombie Mr. Big. (credit:Giphy)

8. Amal Clooney(21 of29)
Open Image Modal
The woman who stole George Clooney’s heart also captured our collective fashion affection over the past year. Her black dress and long white gloves at the Golden Globes were as controversial as red carpet outfits come -- which makes it perfect as a Halloween costume. It’s also super easy: long, flowing sleeveless black gown or dress; absurdly long white gloves; and a flowing black wig if your hair is shorter.Your partner can be: George Clooney.

9. Dick Owens(24 of29)
Open Image Modal
Rick Owens made fashion… er… history by sending male models down the runway earlier this year totally bare on the bottom. Paris Fashion Week got a front-row view of some full-frontal male nudity and the Internet exploded with “Dick Owens” puns. Recreate the look with a long, draping black or beige tunic top and nude pantyhose for bottoms. For the appendage in question, use some clear packing tape or beige masking tape to affix it your front. Your partner can be: A shocked fashion photographer or another Dick Owens model.

10. Yeezy(27 of29)
Open Image Modal
Kanye West: rapper, husband to Kim Kardashian and now, fashion designer. This year, Yeezy put out two (near identical) self-titled collections that were met with much press and generally mixed reviews. Featuring an exclusively neutral palate across full-body leotards, turbans and rags wrapped everywhere, many joked the shows felt a bit like previews for the upcoming "Star Wars" sequel. You can get the look for yourself by using or buying some old pantyhose or ballet leotards, dye them rust or beige, and a grab a pair of Yeezy’s Adidas collab (if you can afford or find them – they’re mostly sold out). Your partner can be: Kanye West, pregnant Kim Kardashian or North West. (credit:Getty Images)
