Yeehaw! These Western Halloween Costumes Are So Much Fun

Toy Story, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Little House on the Prairie all have something in common: Western culture, of course. Whether you've long been a fan of Clint Eastwood and Laura Ingalls Wilder, or you're over the moon for childhood classics with Sheriff Woody, there's something about the camaraderie and costumes found in Western movies, shows, and books that create a great source of inspiration for DIY Halloween costumes. Ahead, find creative, easy Western Halloween costumes that you can put together with items you likely already own. They make for great family Halloween costumes too: Plaid shirts, cowboy hats, and boots will make everyone look fit to work at Drummond Ranch! Want to look bad to the bone? There are several men's and women's costumes to dress up with. You'll just need to perfect your tough-looking scowl!

While most of these costumes are DIYs or shoppable options if you need a last-minute costume, others will appeal to those who are experienced crafters and want to take on a fun project. (Anyone who's a fan of period costumes will also want to give these '80s Halloween costumes and '70s Halloween costumes a glance for more creative ideas!) So, without further ado, the Western Halloween costumes of your Wild West dreams await.
