1. Tourist

Channel your inner tourist by digging out your tackiest, most brightly-colored shirt. Add some shorts, socks with sandals, a straw hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen on your nose, and you're good to go. Don't forget to carry around a camera to complete the look!

2. Lumberjack

If you're feeling lumberjack-esque, a flannel shirt paired with jeans and a beanie is all you need. If you have kids, look for a toy ax lying around for bonus points.

3. Mummy

Who says you need to buy expensive mummy bandages to pull off this spooky look? All you need are some strips of fabric or old white T-shirts to wrap around yourself. Bonus points if you add some fake blood for effect.

4. Bank Robber

For an easy bank robber costume, grab a pair of black leggings, a black and white striped shirt, and a little black mask. To really sell the look, carry around some fake money or a loot bag.
