Best Amazon Halloween costumes: A collage of costumes
Paula Boudes for PureWow

You swore you'd never let it happen again, but somehow, someway, Halloween is looming (there are 11 days left, just FYI), and you're stuck without a costume. If the panic has started to set in that you you've got nothing to wear to your friend's themed party that's *checks calendar* next week (internally screaming) or even just something fun and comfortable to take your kids trick-or-treating in, take a nice, deep breath and repeat after us: There's no good reason to cut holes in your bedsheets for a last-minute ghost ensemble. This is why Amazon exists! You don't even have to waste time finding the goods, because we’ve combed through hundreds of options on the site for the most perfect picks imaginable, from this year’s iconic Barbie box costume ($44) to a classic Winifred Sanderson dress (from $50). Yes, friends, we’re talking about the best Amazon Halloween costumes.

How We Chose the Best Amazon Halloween Costumes

A great Halloween costume should be one that’s recognizable enough that you won’t have to launch into a monologue to explain what you're supposed to be every five minutes. It should be comfortable enough to wear for several hours (without something falling off or needing to be reattached), and, most importantly, it should be something that reflects your personality. It should also arrive on time courtesy of Amazon. (Thank you, Prime member shipping!)

Taking all of the above into account, we found 35 costumes that reflect the current pop culture landscape for 2023, paying homage to characters from popular movies or TV shows, superheroes, talked-about figures and more. We also considered quality, function and design, seeking out options that would be authentic without the addition of too many other accessories or accouterments. Additionally, we scoured reviews from previous buyers.

Without further ado, check out our favorites below.

After a deep dive into Google Trends, Boohoo has predicted that Indiana Jones will be one of the biggest men's costumes of 2023, no doubt thanks in large part to Harrison Ford's return as the the character for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Luckily, his look is fairly simple to recreate with the help of this distressed brown bomber jacket that's made with real leather. It's got side adjustment belts to help him get the best fit, and, if he really wants to go all out, he can throw in the matching tan workshirt ($27) fedora ($60) and Indy's famous whip ($20). Best of all, shoppers say the jacket is really high-quality, so he can wear it after long after the holiday's over.

When it comes to female empowerment, there’s no better rep than Rosie the Riveter. With this throwback costume, you can celebrate the hard-working women of yore who clocked in at factories and shipyards during World War II.

Complete with a pink leotard, leggings, a pair of neon wristbands, and a sun visor, this ‘80s-inspired collection is a skate away from rolling through Venice Beach à la Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

Wednesday came out on Netflix to much fanfare last year, but everyone is still clamoring to be its lead, according to Boohoo. This dress, which we can totally see Jenna Ortega in, is made of a comfy and breathable cotton and spandex blend and features an iconic Peter Pan collar.

Movie buffs will geek out over this retro look that gives a nod to the cult classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's officially licensed (read: incredibly accurate to Bueller's own threads), and the faux leather retro jacket lends itself to a night of warmth. He'll have to wear his own white tee and gray trousers (or buy a pair, $34), but we still think it's a fair price for a faux leather jacket and a sweater vest.

What Is the Most Popular Halloween Costume for 2023?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most popular Halloween costume for women in 2023 is none other than Barbie, according to HalloweenCostumes.com. The Little Mermaid follows closely behind in second place, with Spider-Gwen and Spider-Woman taking third. Wednesday Addams is in fourth, and video game-related costumes (think: Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda) snag fifth place.

Can You Return Halloween Costumes on Amazon?

If you need to return your Halloween costume on Amazon, it’s important to note that the process varies based on the seller’s policies. According to Amazon, “While most sellers offer a returns policy equivalent to Amazon's, some seller returns policies may vary.”

That said, the mega-retailer states that if the seller fails to list its product's policy or state the return time frame, its "standard 30-day return policy applies.”

What Is the No. 1 Halloween Store? 

While Spirit Halloween is one of the largest and most recognizable Halloween store chains (nothing like a day-of try-on at your local seasonal pop-up to really nail the look), Amazon ranks as the largest online retailer in the world, making it a solid contender in the Halloween offering department.

If you prefer to shop small (honestly, same), you can still support small businesses that sell through Amazon, since they're identified on the site by a small business badge.
