Easy Netflix Halloween costumes for your squad
1. Squid Game
“Mu gung hwa ggochi piyeo seumnida” — if this chant sends a chill down your spine, you’ve probably just binged the latest Netflix hit series, Squid Game. Halloween 2021 is the perfect opportunity for you to dress up in a Squid Game costume to give a nod to this dark survival game show that has taken the world by storm. Here’s a slew of Squid Game Halloween costumes to consider:
-
Player
According to Squid Game director Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the players in the series were dressed in green gym attire as they reminded him of what Korean high school students wore back then. Most importantly, it was a way to remove their individuality and symbolise conformity.
While you’d certainly not want to participate in the deadly game (or maybe you do?), these Squid Game uniforms make for an easy Netflix Halloween costume this 2021. Simply get the Squid Game Uniform (available on Costume Boutique) and pick your favourite character’s number!
-
Masked men
In striking contrast, the masked men carrying out duties donned hot pink jumpsuits. Their masks were marked with the three iconic shapes of the series — circle, triangle and square. According to director Hwang, this design was inspired by ant colonies — where ants carry out delineated roles in a clear system, but looked indistinguishable on the outside.
For an easy Halloween costume, get the Squid Game Mask (available on Otellalasercut Store) which is available in every shape. Complete this Squid Game Halloween costume with the Pink Guard Jumpsuit (available on Handmade wiht love.sg)!
-
Front man
The coolest, most mysterious, outfit of Squid Game undisputedly goes to the Front Man. Fret not if you don’t have access to a 3D printer to churn out the polygon mask — simply get the ready-made Front Man’s mask (available on ideetoys.sg) online for an easy Squid Game Halloween costume. Throw on the black Front Man Cloak (available on Handmade wiht love.sg) to complete the look.
-
Squid Game doll
To instill some terror in your next ghoulish Halloween gathering this 2021, dress up as the giant animatronic doll in Squid Game. For this Netflix ensemble, get the Robot Doll Costume (available on blackolive.sg). To recreate the look exactly, put on a pair of Knee-High Socks (available Citrusox Official Store) and Black Shoes (available on Melissa Official Store).
-
Squid Game salesman
Despite only appearing in a few scenes, Gong Yoo’s cameo has been a fan-favourite and the subject of multiple Squid Game theories. The Ddakji slapping game has also been recreated by fans across the world at the subway station. For a Netflix Halloween costume this 2021, throw on your tuxedo and bring along a Briefcase (available on KNOMO Flagship Store), Squid Game Card (available on janegoods.sg) and Handmade Ddakji (available on twentysixARTE). Then, put on your best salesman smile to look the part!
2. Hospital Playlist
Hospital Playlist has been holding its spot on Netflix Singapore’s Top 10 series for the longest time in 2021, and rightly so. K-drama fan or not, we’ve all been hooked on this wholesome series revolving around five doctors at Yulje Medical Center who’ve been friends since medical school. Thanks to this hit series, the registration for organ donors multiplied by 11 times in South Korea recently. That’s how much positive influence this drama has!
Gather your squad and pay homage to these on-screen medical heroes with an easy Halloween costume this 2021. All you’ll need is a set of Hospital Playlist Surgical Pajamas (available on etc_box.sg) that resembles the scrubs they wear and a pair of black crocs with jibbitz (available on hekrongsg.sg). If you’d like to take the outfit up a notch, you can even customise your own Hospital Playlist ID Card (available on kdramamerch.idn.sg) to complete this easy Halloween costume.
3. Money Heist
Want to be the anti-heroes this Halloween? With the recent release of Money Heist’s final season first installment, it’s the perfect time to get decked up in a red suit and Salvador Dali mask. Simply get the Money Heist Costume (available on glowbean.sg) that’s affordably priced at less than $15. If you want to match the crew’s get-up to a tee, wear a black t-shirt underneath and a pair of black boots (available on Dr. Martens Singapore Official Store)!

For girls who want to cosplay as Mikasa, simply add a red scarf into the mix. For guys who want to be Eren, get the Eren’s wig (available on Traverse Cos) to complete the look.
5. F.R.I.E.N.D.S
It’s safe to say that F.R.I.E.N.D.S is the most iconic sitcom of all time. Almost two decades after its finale, this series is still the talk of the town.

Phoebe

You can’t go without some vintage accessories, so this boho necklace (available on Fashion Jewellery) is definitely an essential part of this outfit!

For him — Jake Peralta
Across the show, Jake is often seen in a leather jacket (available on Oxhide Leather Official Store) and jeans.

But what’s most quintessential to her character is a bursting binder file titled “Conflict Resolution”.
