While Halloween 2020 may look a little different this year, that doesn’t mean you can’t still dress up and get in the spooky spirit at home! We’ve compiled 10 Posh-approved costumes that anyone can recreate—from your favorite Netflix characters to classic costumes for the whole family! Keep reading to discover iconic costumes you can find right on Poshmark.

1. A Couple of Cool Cats: Tiger King’s Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin 

Netflix’s Tiger King hit screens in early March 2020, and boy did it cause an uproar. Viewers went wild binge-watching the docuseries that sparked major controversy, making headlines left and right. We had a feeling this wouldn’t be the last time we would hear from the big-cat loving rivals, Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic. Now you can create Carole Baskin’s signature, hippie look featuring a flower crown headpiece, either an animal print top or a tie dye blouse, and some loose fitted jeans. Or opt for Joe’s sequin top, reflective sporty sunnies, and some extra tight skinny jeans.

2. Here for the Boo’s: Ghosts of TikTok

Boo! The classic ghost costume is back and just as easy as before, but this time it’s taking TikTok by storm with the #GhostPhotoshoot challenge. Don’t believe us? Just ask any Gen Z-er or check it out for yourself here. Here’s what you’ll need: a white sheet and a pair of sunglasses, that’s it! And if you want to take the challenge, just grab a camera, snap some spooky pictures, and tag us @poshmark.

3. The Last Dance: Michael Jordan’s Legacy

Michael Jordan is a house-hold name for those who love the game of basketball and even for those who don’t, which is why his new docuseries, The Last Dance, was a slam dunk for many. This Halloween, you can rep #23 with a pair of Air Jordan sneakers, the classic Chicago bulls NBA jersey, and top it off with some Air Jordan Basketball shorts.

4. A Loaf Story: Banana Bread

If you haven’t tried baking banana bread at some point this year are you even doing 2020 right? Whether you consider yourself a master baker or still need to perfect your recipe, this banana bread-inspired costume with banana accessories (skirt, earrings, sandals) and bread apparel galore, like this epic Wonder logo t-shirt, is sure to work up an appetite. Maybe it’ll even inspire someone else to get in the kitchen and start baking! 

5. Self-Care Season: Be You. Do You. For You.

If there’s one thing 2020 has taught us, it’s that self-care is truly the best care. So get comfy, put on a cute robe for you and your mini (here), add some furry slippers, and throw a towel wrap around your hair to prep for the last finishing touch, a luxe face mask. There’s nothing a little TLC can’t fix this spooky season!

6. US(P.S.) We Love You: Postal Workers

What would we do without our amazing USPS workers? They work tirelessly all year, and what better way to show your appreciation than by dressing up as your favorite mail carrier! You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so put on some navy cargo shorts, a blue button-up shirt, a bucket hat, and a crossbody duffle. Bonus points if you carry around a (free) USPS package or customize your look with a “PoshMail Thank You” sticker. Be sure to snap a photo with your local USPS heroes.

7. Go Beyond the Reef: Moana

No matter your age, Disney’s Moana has become a feel-good classic practically overnight. So channel your inner Moana, dream about sailing the sea, and see how far you’ll go to dress the part. Shop Moana Costumes Here.

8. One in a Minion: Despicable Me

What’s small, blue, and yellow all over? You guessed it. In case you need costumes that will suit the whole family, the adorable minion gang is here to save the day! Dressing the part is easy, especially when you can shop the endless Minion costumes right here on Poshmark.

9. Spotted in Stripes: Where’s Waldo?

Dressing up as Where’s Waldo for Halloween may be as easy as searching through your closet for a red and white striped shirt and a pair of blue bottoms. But in the case that you don’t happen to have these items lying around, don’t worry we got you covered! Shop all things Where’s Waldo, from tees to dresses and his staple beanie and glasses, on Poshmark now!

10. She’s The Schitt: Moira Rose

Enter the comedy that took the world AND the Emmy’s by storm this year: Schitt’s Creek. Steal the dramatic look of the incredibly fabulous, ex-soap star, Moira Rose. How, you ask? Stick to black and white and turn the drama and accessories way up. Create your very own Moira Rose inspired look with a black patent leather jacket, cat-eye sunnies, a bold statement necklace, and a chic pair of fingerless gloves. Bonus points for adding her signature dark lip, unplaceable accent, and a bébé of your own: a wig!

On Learning to Building Your Brand 

Whether you’re working on building your brand presence within Poshmark or on your other social platforms, this year’s lineup of social media experts were ready to give you all the pointers you need to grow your online brand.

• Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. @shopfoxburrow explained it best during her breakout session, Creating a Brand That Stands Out: “I found that once I started to put my face with my brand and in my photos, not only did they get way more Likes on Poshmark where once I was doing a dressform, it also gave my brand a new face.” 
• Be consistent. Be yourself. Keep learning. Just before speaking during the Thriving and Subscribing on YouTube breakout session, @beckypark shared her 3 top tips on successfully building your YouTube presence. Although this breakout session focused solely on YouTube, these tips can easily be translated into any other social platform. 
• The 3 P’s. @bysimonedennis broke down 3 main ideas that helped her build her business. Purpose: What do you want your business to achieve? Pizzazz: What makes you stand out? Project: Where do you want your business to go? 

Time to Get Serious 

We can’t make money moves without understanding the nitty gritty. This year, we dove into everything from bookkeeping to creating spreadsheets that make sense for YOU.

• Establish a routine. Determine how often you run your reports and pivot your business when you start noticing different trends and accommodate according to what’s happening in the world.
• Know your desired outcome. Come up with a plan of action and create attainable goals for your closet.  
• Set your business up for success. If you’re serious about moving your business from part-time to full-time, @shopnccloset breaks down the top 3 things you need before you start: business registration and licensing, determine your tax structure, and open a business bank account. 

Utilize all the Tools Poshmark Offers

Our team is always working to create the best tools to help your business succeed. While this year’s Hackathon Reveal announced a few NEW features coming soon, our speakers remind us of the current available tools that are just as beneficial. 

• Fifteen seconds is all you need. @evolvingalways takes advantage of Posh Stories to advertise what’s for sale and drive potential buyers to her closet. 
• Communicate with your buyer. Use the Bundle feature to spark a conversation and open a line of communication so that you can help style your shopper. 
• Price Drop + Closet Clear Out work hand in hand. Drop your prices once Closet Clear Out rolls around so potential buyers will get notified about a lower price PLUS score discounted shipping! Win-win. 

The More You Know, The More You Grow

Want to improve your sales? This year’s speakers were FULL of #PoshTips on how to move merchandise and push those sales out the door!

• Improve your listing details for SEO. This is perfect real estate to inform anyone about your item and will not only help your buyer know exactly what they’ll be receiving but will also allow Google to learn and optimize for SEO.  
• Know your keywords. Always use descriptive keywords to accurately describe the item. Use unique words to differentiate your product. #PoshTip: Include the style code!
• The Dos and Don’ts for Covershots: 
  • DO have a clear view of the main product being sold
  • DO accurately display the entire product.
  • DO use a solid white or transparent background color.
  • DON’T use props that cover the product.
  • DON’T use a generic image, graphic, or illustration.
  • DON’T use an image with a border or watermark.
