Ultimate Baby Halloween Costume Ideas for Spooky Silliness

Channel the parlor days of yesteryear with this adorable beauty parlor Halloween costume. The vibrant pink smock gives a vintage vibe while acting as a handy catch-all on Halloween night. Pair it with slippers or sandals, a simple onesie, and sunglasses (all likely in your baby's closet already), and you have a creative costume that will stop the neighbors in their tracks.

What We Like
▪ Cost-effective and versatile - can e added to the dress-up drawer!
▪ It can be worn over regular clothes in cold weather or a onesie in warm weather climates.

What We Don’t
▪ If your little one is likely to chew on the accompanying props, this might not be the one.

The only thing more delicious than a plateful of sushi is your sweet baby. Dress your living doll up in a white onesie and white pants or tights, and add the sushi backpack and sushi-inspired headband to create one yummy-looking costume.

What We Like

▪ No one will wonder what your babies are supposed to be (twin parents get enough questions)
▪ Gender-neutral

What We Don’t
▪ Snaps... enough said

Can we all agree that doctors are the most celebrated humans on the planet right now, considering the current state of world affairs? This outfit pays homage to our everyday heroes.

It's soft, simple, and not much different, material-wise, than everyday infant wear.

What We Like
▪ Similar to everyday infant wear
▪ Outfit color and thread are customizable

What We Don’t
▪ Snaps are the devil's work

A baby dressed as a sweet little owl is nothing if not a hoot! This outfit is gender-neutral and includes only one crucial component, the bodysuit. You have enough on your plate parents, you don't need to be chasing down costume components in the moments before trick-or-treaters hit the doorsteps.

What We Like
▪ The costume has only one primary piece
▪ So soft!

What We Don’t
▪ I'm not sure how this is going to look after a cycle in the washing machine. It might go from a hoot to a horror.

Your little human is going to grow up and move mountains. Channel all of that inner badassery in this statement costume. For tots who loathe headbands, swap it out for big head bows or faux bandana hats.

What We Like
▪ Hooray for outfits with zippers!

What We Don’t
▪ It might be difficult to layer over other clothing for cold Halloween nights.

You might not want to take your brand new baby out into the elements for Halloween, but you can still get in on the dress-up fun! This Starbucks costume is a perfect choice for new parents who want to memorialize their baby's first Halloween while celebrating their other true love... coffee.

Pair this with white booties or soft white socks, and you have a practical and creative costume for your brand-new baby.

What We Like

▪ This outfit works best for babies who are not planning to spend the holiday outside

You've heard the term, "That's their lobster." The phrase refers to true love, which is exactly how you feel about your little one.

Man, I love a great costume theme!

What We Like
▪ Great option if you plan on wearing your baby while trick-or-treating

What We Don’t
