Get it? This costume will have all the party guests LOL-ing, because it’s so on the nose about the whole frenzy around brunches! A tiny bit of prep needed for this is to cut out sunny side up egg shapes from a plain sheet of paper and stick gold glitter on top. Stick ’em on your outfit, carry a glass of boozy screwdriver and you are sorted for the night!

Need supplies for your sunny side ups? Opt for this multipurpose gold glitter for Rs 1,186. Buy it here

If you are looking for couple costumes with your equally unprepared bestie (no wonder you guys found each other), this is the one to go for. Just find the darkest clothes in your closets, make sure they mirror for both of your (solid black top and black jeans, mostly) and walk around all night asking people to “come play with us.”

Looking for matching boots? Get yourself and your bestie a pair of Steve Madden Lace Up Black Boots for Rs 3,600. Buy it here

Here’s a fun idea, put this costume on and go pop your cheeks at people asking them if they get it! You will need: a pair of casual sneakers, a denim jumpsuit over a striped shirt and a red hair band. Make sure you get the hair right, it’s absolutely going to make or break your costume!

Haven’t invested in a denim jumpsuit yet? Get the look with this JC Collection Blue Washed Dungaree for Rs 3,036. Buy it here

Is there anything better than going as one of the coolest characters in movie history! The checklist for this one is super short, a waistcoat over white button-down, black jeans, black boots and a brown belt! It couldn’t get easier than this.
