Sorry, ladies, but I know we’ve all been victim to the “basic white girl” stage of society. Starbucks, UGGs, North Face jackets, all of which we love and cannot give up. So, if you want to calm down and NOT be a basic white girl for the one night of Halloween, then these are the costumes you should avoid going for. However, for those who are basic, white, and proud, here are some appropriate suggestions!

1. The School Girl

Whether it be a school girl or a sexy nerd, we all know how this trend started: Britney Spears.

2. Devil

Just saying, it’s cuter when babies do it. I mean, come on! Look how cute!

3. Victoria’s Secret Angel

WARNING: Those wings can get heavy!

4. Cowgirl

This is a classic, thanks to Jessica Simpson.

5. Gumball Machine

At first this was really creative, until every girl started wearing this costume.

8. Slutty Maid

Anyone remember "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"? That’s how you do it, ladies.

9. "Risky Business"

This one can be dangerous to your health, girls. I’m just saying, shoes and pants are never a bad idea on the last day of October.

10. Cheetah/cat

Did you and your friends ever pretend to be the Cheetah Girls when you were younger? I sure did.

11. Bunny

Thank you, Regina George, for the demonstration. I personally feel victimized.

12. Army Girl

Hilary Duff will forever be a role model for how to survive boot camp (and for how to be an army girl).

13. Minnie Mouse

Who doesn’t want to be the cutest animated character?
