You’ll need a red beanie, a light blue collared shirt, a dark blue jumpsuit, and some red sneakers.

Then, create a fake beard with some makeup and you’re good to go!

Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs was a hit with adults and kids alike. You can make this costume as simple or as detailed as you want.

A furry hat and a jacket will do the trick for the more laid-back approach. Or, you can go all out and paint your face and wear a full dog costume.

This might be the most comfortable Halloween costume you’ll ever wear. I’m not kidding when I say you’ll want to wear this outfit every day.

This is perfect if you’re a Wes Anderson fan and want to pay homage to one of his films.

I found a vintage suit that was a little big on me and added a cool scarf I found at a thrift store.

I also added a white button-up shirt and black loafers. If you want to get the full look, you can add a black belt, too.

I love the idea of going as a character from a Wes Anderson movie, so I’m thinking of doing a different one every year.

10. Hotel Chevalier

A nod to the Wes Anderson short film Hotel Chevalier, this costume is perfect for the couple who loves to travel.

Find a robe and some hotel slippers and you’re good to go! Don’t forget to print out the hotel logo for some added detail.
