9 Iconic Halloween Looks You Can Pull Off With a Black Bob
Planning for Halloween doesn't have to be difficult. Some of the best looks have little to do with the clothing, and everything to do with the hairstyle involved. For example, if you have a black bob haircut — or a wig that could help you fake one — you're in luck. You have the ultimate tool for an iconic (and cheap!) easy Halloween costume.
After all, some of the most memorable pop culture icons have the short bob haircut (hello, Posh Spice) as part of their signature beauty looks, which can make for a quick and easy costume. On this list, you'll find ways to transform into the love-struck Tina Belcher of "Bob's Burgers," sarcastic Jane Lane of "Daria," the fearless and free-spirited Mia Wallace of "Pulp Fiction," the small but mighty Edna Mode from "The Incredibles," and so many more. Use the shorter cut you currently have, or opt for a black wig if you don't want to commit to a chop. There are plenty of styles available on Amazon and at your local costume store. Either way, the options are endless.
Check out some of the best black bob Halloween costumes, ahead.
