One of my favorite shows, the second season finally came out this year after a long hiatus - and what a season it was! The costumes are easy enough to pull together from clothes you probably already have but add a few accessories to be sure people get the reference!

The final season of this iconic show is upon us! The show transported my generation back to our youth and scared the crap out of us all at the same time! Fun fact - I'm from Minneapolis and the Science Museum started reprinting the retro shirt worn in Season 1 after the show first became popular. Grab your best 80's garb and pay homage to this unique show as it comes to an end.

Another fairly easy costume from a hit show. To be honest, I haven't watched much of The Bear (and what little I did makes me completely shocked that it's a "comedy") but it's simplicity makes it a good costume option.

Oasis reunited this year for a world tour - no small feat since the leading brothers apparently hate each other. Currently on tour in Asia, the band announced yesterday that they have to replace Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs due to a prostate cancer diagnosis. But the tour continues on in Asia and Australia. The costumes are easy enough - one shiny and one matte black jacket.
Costume purchase links:

Another good dystopian sci-fi option: Squid Games! This one I haven't seen either but even so I would still recognize this iconic look.
