From the players' sportswear to the red and green light dolls.

This Halloween, why not draw inspiration from the hottest TV show so far in 2021? Squid Game just landed on Netflix a month ago, and quickly became one of the most popular hits in the history of the anchor, attracting a wide audience with its fascinating storyline and unforgettable character lineup. Whether you want to play the role of a player, a guard, or a "red light, green light" doll on this Halloween, the global success of the series means that you have endless options to buy or make your squid game costume. Below is a guide to the roles we are considering guiding in October this year, and how to combine (or buy) the clothing and supplies you need.

Squid Game inspires fashion trends throughout sportswear, so finding a full suit with the correct color may mean scrolling in Etsy. If you can find a plain green sportswear with a spare white T-shirt, some ironing decals with a three-digit number of your choice. Some white slip-on sneakers will complete the costume.

As for which number to choose, you can match it with your favorite protagonist, or one of the more interesting supporting roles (so you won't be one of a dozen 067). You can also customize the suit with a number with its own unique meaning, as long as it is no greater than 456.

If you want to choose a more scary option, the intimidating guard uniform is a bit difficult to DIY, so you might choose between the options that pop up on Etsy or Amazon. If you can get a pure red jumpsuit with a hood, then all you need to do is add a black belt because there are no labels or decals in the show, and black boots.

As for the mask, fans say it looks like a black fencing helmet. Halloween and party shops also sell all-black ghoul masks with fabric covering the entire head. All you need is some white paint to draw the game symbols. You can even choose your level: circles for workers, triangles for supervisors, and squares for managers. No matter which method you choose, we recommend that you do not use fake machine guns.

Front Man's all-black outfit is centered on a 3D face mask, so unique that it needs to go to Etsy again. In addition, you also need a long black leather coat, black boots and black gloves. Since just wearing a mask ensures that everyone knows your outfit, please feel free to use this opportunity to buy the coats and boots you dream of, which you can wear for a long time after October 31st.

This is a costume that you can use your imagination to your heart's content. Look at any place you like-boutiques, thrift stores, maybe your own wardrobe-yellow short-sleeved shirt, orange mini dress, white knee socks and black Mary Jane shoes. Finally, braid your hair into braids and practice the Korean phrase 무궁화꽃이피었습니다 (meaning "the hibiscus is in full bloom").

Without having played at least one kind of children's game in real life, the Halloween party is complete without the squid game. You can also bring one of the games as a costume prop. Some classic marbles or dalgona candies will take your outfit to the next level.
