I'm doing a costume program with the public library in a few weeks, and I'm in the planning stage. Part of the program will be about how to come up with costume ideas that work for last-minute or minimum-effort costumes. One of the techniques is finding characters who wear "normal" clothes but are still distinct enough to be recognizable. Bonus points for doing a specific episode or reference (like Homer Simpson as Mr. Plow instead of just Homer Simpson). Another method is to see what you have in your own wardrobe and see what they match up with. I want to have lots of visual examples so that I can reach a wider audience with my examples, so today I made sure I had at least 30 ideas, which I will put in a slideshow so we can click through them.
