An easy Halloween costume: James Dean

When deciding what to be for Halloween, it can be easy to get distracted by the countless number of flashy costumes hanging up in the stores.  It can also be easy to spend way more money than you intended to on a costume.  And to top it all off, the chances of you showing up to a Halloween party dressed exactly like four other people greatly increases.

So this Halloween, don’t stress over what costume you are going to wear.  If you are looking for an easy and inexpensive costume idea, look no further than the original Hollywood rebel himself.  James Dean is an iconic figure whose look is very easy to duplicate.

The basic items you need to complete this look are a white t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a leather jacket.  Swipe some gel through your hair and stick a comb in your back pocket, and you’re done!  Or, if you want to go for a specific look from a classic Dean film, swap the leather jacket for a red windbreaker.  This will give you the look of Jim Stark, the character Dean played in his second film, Rebel Without a Cause.

Check your local thrift shops for great deals on leather jackets.  And if you want to go as a pair, have your girl look for a full skirt and a button up sweater, and she can go as Judy from Rebel Without a Cause.

Halloween is supposed to be fun! So don’t stress about your costume this year.  Try this easy and inexpensive James Dean outfit for a unique costume!
