The leaves are changing and the weather is getting chilly which means it is time for one of the best holidays of the year, Halloween. Every year, new Halloween costumes come into fashion that are based off popular culture. This year, new costumes have come out that are a complete contrast to past costumes.

Two of the most popular costumes that have hit stores this year are based on politics. With the upcoming election, new costumes of the candidates have come out. There are now available masks of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. To accompany the Donald Trump costume, there are wigs,orange makeup and a “Make America Great Again” cap to complete the look. These costumes can be found at party city.
