These ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Halloween Costumes Will Make Every True Fan Say, ‘Ew, David’
When it comes to last-minute Halloween costumes, you want something that’s budget-friendly, easy to pull together, and super fun (and funny) all at the same time. Where to start for ultimate inspiration? Try your favorite binge-worthy TV shows and their beloved casts of characters. (Really—is Halloween even Halloween without spotting some Friends Halloween costumes?) Perhaps one of the most memorable casts in recent times is the one from the quirky, heart-warming comedy Schitt’s Creek, which went from cult favorite status to Netflix breakout hit after hitting the streaming service in early 2017.
Schitt’s Creek fans everywhere (and they are everywhere!) are sure to recognize a member of the Rose family, whether it’s Moira, Johnny, Alexis, or David (and wouldn’t all four together make a fantastic family Halloween costume?!). For a hilarious couple's costume, think Roland and Jocelyn Schitt, and for a solid solo getup, you can’t go wrong as Patrick, Ted, or Stevie Budd, Schitt’s Creek’s resident queen of sarcasm and David's unlikely BFF who is almost always spotted in a plaid shirt and jeans.
While you’re all dressed up, consider posing for a life-size family portrait. And if you get invited to any Halloween parties this year, be sure to RSVP as...pending (you know, because you’re positively bedeviled with meetings). So soak in all the inspiration ahead for your own DIY Schitt's Creek Halloween costume, or let your favorite episode guide your getup for a sure to be trendy Halloween costume.

Moira Rose Costume
Stop acting like a disgruntled pelican and embrace the Halloween spirit like only Moira Rose can. With four walls of wigs to choose from, it’s no easy task deciding which Moira look to re-create for Halloween. We love this red bob with bangs, paired with chunky gold necklaces, a leopard blazer, and a zipper-patterned pencil skirt. Accessorize with your brown crocodile bag, if you can find it. Bonus if you have a knack for unrecognizable accents and working unexpected words like “bombilating” and “chin-wag” into conversation.
Johnny Rose Costume
Who’s the eyebrows buying everyone’s drinks? It’s Johnny Rose! And whether he’s fixing a sink (or trying to fix a sink) at the Rosebud Motel, dedicating The Moria's Rose's Garden, or trying to get a deal on a used car, he’ll still be wearing one of his signature bespoke suits. Become your best Johnny by donning a dapper slim-fit suit, a white button-down shirt, and stick-on bushy eyebrows. Print out some Rose Video business cards to hand out to friends.
David Rose Costume
We know you’re trying very hard not to connect with people right now. But when you’re done reorganizing you’re knits, pick out your favorite black-and-white sweater and pour yourself a stiff drink to get through this night. Become David by rocking a lightning print sweatshirt, white clout goggle sunglasses, and some body milk (milk for your body) from Rose Apothecary. You’re simply the best!
Alexis Rose Costume
Are you a little bit Alexis? We love that journey for you. Steal her boho-chic style by rocking a floppy wool hat, fringed poncho, and denim cutoffs that would be so cute for you. The best part? You get to call everyone David all night. Wow. Wow. Wow-ee!
Stevie Budd Costume
Best wishes and warmest regards if you plan on going as Stevie Budd for Halloween this year. All you’ll need is a plaid button-down shirt (with a Stevie name tag, of course), jeans, a little black eyeliner, and a lot of dry wit.
