Halloween is right around the corner, and whether you’re planning on a one-of-a-kind costume or something that will get you by for the night, we’ve scoped out the best places around town to meet your needs.
Lucy in the Disguise with Diamonds
Known as Austin’s premiere costume place, this shop is located right on the South Congress strip and has a ton of Halloween fun for everyone. They even have the option to rent costumes in case you’re not looking for that forever-something. Once you find the perfect costume, walk down the street for some queso at Gueros or a slice of pizza at Homeslice.
This old Austin classic was known for keeping things weird since the mid-1960s. Unfortunately, the Austin shop is permanently closed. Luckily, the Wimberley store 37-miles outside of Austin remains open and has lots of funky outfits and accessories to piece together a costume as unique as you.
Nestled in Austin’s North Loop neighborhood this small, funky, and unique shop is another vintage shop that offers some weird and wonky costume designs. While it’s not technically a costume shop, you can find some really great options both for the season and your everyday closet.
As a premier national thrift shop, Uptown Cheapskate is a South Austin favorite for second-hand finds. And with any vintage shop around town, it’s sure to have some groovy outfits to piece together to make the perfect Halloween costume.
You can venture to your neighborhood Goodwill for some really great finds, but if you’re a treasure-hunter at heart then Goodwill’s Blue Hanger Outlet is the place to go for some true thrift store finds. Unlike other stores, this outlet charges by weight — not item. So you can find some really great costumes and accessories...if you’re willing to put in the work to look.
This is a Halloween favorite in every city and town in America. Spirit Halloween is your one-stop-shop for all things scary and Halloween fun. Not only do they have easy-to-pick-up costumes, but they also have decor, party accessories, and anything else spooky you can think of! There are several around Austin, so be sure to see which is closest to you to find the perfect costume for the whole gang!
