It’s down to the last minute and you have no idea what to wear for a Halloween costume. If you have an old pair of jeans or overalls, an old T-shirt, an old blazer or flannel shirt, a hat, some ribbon and a stick, you can dress up like a hobo for Halloween. The hobo look is cute, easy and affordable. With a few simple steps, you can become the best hobo at your Halloween party.
Instructions
1. Wear a raggedy pair of pants or overalls. Add a patch to one of the ripped parts of your pants to add to the hobo look.
2. Wear a dirty and stained shirt. The dirtier the shirt, the better. Choose a plain white T-shirt, a plain colored T-shirt, or a striped T-shirt.
3. Wear an old blazer, jacket or flannel shirt. To add to the hobo effect, find a blazer, jacket or flannel shirt that is dirty with holes in it. Wear the blazer over the T-shirt. You can add a loose tie around the neck to add to the look if you’d like.
4. Wear a pair of old and worn shoes. Find a pair of shoes that are fairly worn. Add to the look by choosing a pair with holes in them. Remember, the dirtier the better.
5. Wear a hat with a dark ribbon tied around it. You can also wear a beanie. Avoid baseball hats, as they do not contribute to the hobo look as much. Tie or glue a ribbon around the base of the hat and stick a feather or flower in between the ribbon and the hat.
6. Gather your accessories together. Purchase a chocolate cigar from your local candy shop and carry it around in your mouth. Grab a plain stick and tie a bandanna to the end of it. Walk around holding it as part of your costume. Use a plain pillow case to carry your Halloween candy in.
