With Halloween just around the corner, many are getting into the spirit of the scary season by planning their costumes.
This Halloween is set to be larger than ever, after last year’s spooky shenanigans were largely disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning many had to WFH (Witch From Home).
Gory Netflix drama Squid Game – which is the streaming site’s biggest-ever series launch – is set to compete with the likes of Cruella and WandaVision for the title of most popular Halloween costume of 2021.
But can you buy the iconic costumes online, and how can you DIY them at home?
Here is all you need to know.
Where to buy or DIY Squid Game costumes?
At the moment there is no official Squid Game costume that you can buy.
However, you can purchase some unofficial costumes online, or have a go at recreating the looks yourself at home.
Please note that we haven’t tried the below items ourselves, and there aren’t any reviews, so shop at your own risk.
Squid Game player costume
The contestants wore green numbered uniforms to compete in Squid Game.
If you want to serve this particular look this Halloween, we recommend simply sticking some white numbers to a green tracksuit.
Monki sells a stylish green tracksuit that looks just like the one on the show for £65.
You can get a similar-looking tracksuit from Boohoo Man for just £28.
Complete the outfit with a plain white t-shirt and white trainers.
For a more authentic look, mess up your hair and paint on some fake cuts.
Accessorise with honeycomb, so you can have a snack while looking like a snacc.
Alternatively, you can buy an unofficial costume on Amazon for £28.99, or WowCher for £9.99.
Squid Game staff costume
The Squid Game staff uniform is arguably the best costume from the show, and so we reckon you’ll see many people opting to don the quintessential pink jumpsuit come October 31.
All you need is an all-black mask or fencing helmet, a hot pink jumpsuit with a hood, a black belt, and some military boots.
You can also buy the masks on Amazon for £12.99.
You’ll also need white spray paint, chalk, or even Tippex to draw a circle, square, or triangle on your mask.
Complete the look with a prop gun if you want to add a little vavavoom.
On Amazon, you could buy the whole unofficial outfit for £28.99.
Squid Game Red Light, Green Light doll costume
This killer doll from episode one is everyone’s sleep paralysis demon.
Easily recreate this look with an orange pinafore dress, a yellow short-sleeve shirt, white knee-high socks, and black plimsolls.
Tie your hair into two low buns, et voila: a terrifyingly good fit.
New Look has a pretty accurate-looking dress for £19.99 and shirt for £4.50.
Seong Gi-hun costume
Who could forget protagonist Gi-Hun’s eye-catching reddish pin hair at the end of the series?
To recreate this outfit, you’ll need a navy suit – and some red hair spray.
You can also DIY a Squid Game business card by drawing a black circle, square, and triangle onto a small gold-painted card.
The cards can be purchased in packs of 10 on Amazon for £4.99.
Unfortunately, this outfit doesn’t come with 45 billion won.
Front Man costume
The Front Man is the Squid Game’s enigmatic leader in charge of operating the games.
For this look, you will need to don a black full face mask (like this one from Amazon for £10.98) as well as a black raincoat.
Alternatively, a black hoodie and a buttoned-up black blazer or leather jacket should also work fine.
You’ll look so good, it’s scary!
You can watch season 1 of Squid Game on Netflix now.
