Newsflash: Costumes are not just for Halloween, and you never know when you'll be called upon to wear one. Themed parties can come when you least expect them, whether they be birthdays, bachelor/bachelorettes, bar/bat mitzvahs, or anything else.
What's a busy adult to do with a costume party on the horizon and no time or funds to do more than the bare minimum? Never fear because the answer is one of the low-effort, high-reward costumes on this list courtesy of the creative members of the BuzzFeed Community. They're perfect for any time of year, and many of them can be as simple or elaborate as you want. Enjoy!
