Yaay! It’s time for Halloween again. This is the time when you put on your creative hats.

Celebrating Halloween at work is always a great opportunity to express your creativity, connect more with coworkers, and embrace the festive vibes.

But it’s not always easy to find funny Halloween costumes for work that are appropriate, comfortable, and creative.

It’s even more difficult if you’re working remotely or spend most of your time on Zoom.

Even if you’re the newest employee or the leader of a team, you can have fun with the funny costumes option we’ll share with you shortly.

Since it’s work, consider picking a costume that fits your company’s meeting culture and allows you to be confident while you work.

You’ll find a work-appropriate costume for this Halloween when you shop from our store at Abracadabra NYC.

We’re at the heart of New York City, and you can find us easily, just like the entertainment industry relies on our store for its costumes.

Here are 13 funny Halloween costumes that you can wear for your next work event.

Barbie (2024 Version)

The love for this iconic doll from the successful Barbie movie is still going strong.

For this show off, you can choose to be the classic Barbie, rollerblading Barbie, or CEO Barbie.

This is one of the funny Halloween costumes for work for those looking to add a dash of glam to their office wardrobe.

To make it fitting for work, just go for a more polished look with a tailored blazer, high ponytail, and bright pink accessories.

After all, even when Barbie is tackling spreadsheets, she’s always on point.

Ken (But Make It Beach)

Ken, the ever-sunny companion, is right beside Barbie.

Till this day, Ken costumes continue to shine, particularly the “beachy” version with neon shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and an air of laid-back confidence.

So, to use this for a work costume, tone it down by wearing a button-up Hawaiian shirt and khakis.

Wednesday Addams

Netflix’s Wednesday series captured hearts and delivered all the gothic vibes we needed.

Ever since then, this character has remained one of the top funny Halloween costumes for work.

Copy this look by wearing a black dress, braided pigtails, and an unapologetically straight-faced expression.

Make it typical with a modest dress and accessorize with discreet but dark jewelry. You’ll nail it completely if you can keep a straight face all day.

The “Error 404: Costume Not Found”

If you’re the colleague who doesn’t mind a good pun (and maybe a little last-minute scramble), this costume is perfect.

Get a white t-shirt and a sharpie, then write “Error 404: Costume Not Found” on the front of the t-shirt.

Taylor Swift (Eras Tour)

One thing the past year has taught us is that Taylor Swift is unstoppable. Her Eras Tour inspired fans worldwide.

Now her fans can take that energy and transform it into funny costumes for Halloween.

Pick your favorite Taylor era—whether it’s “Fearless” in sparkly gowns, “Reputation” in edgy black, or “Lover” in pastel colors.

To make this work, adopt a more professional approach by wearing her conservative concert outfits, like a bedazzled blazer or a flowy dress.

Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso is still everyone’s favorite fictional coach to this day.

He’s the kind of costume that brings good vibes to any office celebration with his signature mustache, athletic jacket, and positive slogans.

To make it work-friendly, dress it down with a polo shirt and khakis. Then be ready to sprinkle in those uplifting, motivational quotes all through the day.

Harry Potter or Hermoine Granger

Who doesn’t love a magical coworker? Both Harry and Hermoine are perfect work-appropriate options.

Frankenstein’s Monster

No need to mess with a classic! The perfect funny Halloween costumes for work are ones you can make with an old suit you already have.

To give yourself that classic paleness, head to us at Abracadabra NYC to speak with our makeup artists.

We’ll definitely give you the exact look you need.

Formal Apology

(See below, bottom right.) We’re certainly laughing. Punny costumes, especially ones that reference work language.

For example, “work wife” and “re: re: re: fwd:” are always a nice way to make the office Halloween party more fun.

Superhero (But Make It Casual)

Superhero costumes are always a hit, but consider making them casual and more subtle for work if you prefer to appear as any other character.

You could be a die-hard fan of Spider-Man, Black Panther, or Wonder Woman, and it can work. 

Think of Superman, with a plain “S” shirt under a button-up. Or picture a casual Wonder Woman look with a gold belt and a red cardigan.

For your work, stick to clothing that doesn’t violate the dress code policies of your workplace but includes enough detail so it’ll be clear who you’re dressed as.

Office Supplies

You can also choose to go as the heroes of the office: pens, staplers, and sticky notes.

This is a funny and nostalgic costume you can do yourself.

Transform yourself into a box of essential office supplies or a specific office supply.

Keep it low-key by wearing a cardboard “box” with labeled compartments for “staples,” “paperclips,” and “highlighters” around your waist.

Remote Worker

Don’t you think it’s time to make it a Halloween costume since remote work is now literally the norm?

Show up to the party with pajama bottoms, a professional top, and a Zoom background printout pinned to your back.

If you could add some funny “meeting interruptions,” like a cardboard cutout of a cat jumping on your keyboard, that would be great.

Your coworkers will relate to this one.

Keep your props simple, like a fake coffee cup or a Zoom background on paper, so you can still move around the office without causing a scene.

You can’t go wrong with the remote worker costume. It’s the perfect balance of comfort, humor, and professional relevance even today.

Sustainability Advocate

Dressing up as a sustainability advocate is current because climate change and sustainability are widely discussed topics.

It shows you’re in the loop.

Wear eco-friendly, organic clothing, carry a reusable water bottle, and maybe even pin a small “Save the Earth” sign to your outfit.

Add a few environmentally conscious accessories like a plant-based tote bag or a solar-powered gadget.

You’ll be the office’s green hero.

Stick to small prop items that you can carry or wear all through the day, like a reusable water bottle or a simple, eco-friendly shirt.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve got a full list of funny Halloween costumes for work, pick one and show them off at the next work Halloween meeting.
