It’s been a few years since Schitt’s Creek graced our screens and swept the Emmy Awards, but Moira Rose would say the Roses never go out of style. A Schitt’s Creek Halloween costume is just as recognizable in 2023 as it was when the show aired. If you’re looking for a memorable costume without the hassle of heavy makeup or complex House of the Dragon costumes, a trip back to Schitt’s Creek could be your best bet.
The Key to a Perfect Schitt’s Creek Costume? The Fashion
One of the most memorable parts of Schitt’s Creek was the fashion—each character had a signature style that stood out. From Johnny’s impeccable suits to David’s monochromatic wardrobe, and from Moira’s wig collection to Alexis’s chic socialite looks, there are endless costume options. Plus, characters like Stevie, Jocelyn, and Twyla each have their own unique fashion choices, making it perfect for group costumes. Whether you’re dressing up solo or with friends, this guide will help you recreate some of the show’s most iconic looks.
Ted Mullens
Dress up as Schitt’s Creek’s beloved vet, Dr. Ted Mullens. To nail his costume, you’ll need a pair of scrubs and a plastic stethoscope. Bonus points if you can throw in a bit of Ted’s charm. It’s a simple but instantly recognizable look, perfect for fans who want something low-maintenance yet on-point.
Café Tropical Baseball Team Members
Patrick’s style may be understated, but his Café Tropical baseball uniform is an easy way to represent the character. If you’re looking for a couples costume, have your partner dress up as David for a fun pairing that mirrors their unforgettable romance on the show.
The Rose Family
When you combine these individual looks, you’ll have the entire Rose family and the unforgettable residents of Schitt’s Creek, ready to make a statement this Halloween. From Moira’s bold fashion to David’s quirky style, your group will capture the charm and humor of the show effortlessly!
Alexis Rose
Feeling a little bit single (even if you’re not)? Then channel Alexis Rose with a velvet dress, over-the-knee boots, and a hint of sass. Don’t forget to throw in her signature “Ew, David!” for good measure. Alexis’s fashionable yet carefree vibe is always a hit.
Roland Schitt
Roland Schitt’s laid-back, often sloppy style makes for a hilarious Halloween costume. To dress like him, grab a flannel shirt, trucker hat, and rock that intentionally disheveled look. The pièce de résistance? A mullet wig to tie the whole thing together.
David Rose
David Rose’s avant-garde wardrobe is iconic. Recreate his style with distressed jeans, an animal-print sweater, and high-tops. Don’t forget his statement rings and meticulously styled hair. David’s black-and-white ensembles make for an effortlessly cool Halloween look.
Moira Rose
Moira Rose’s fashion choices are larger-than-life, and there are plenty of iconic outfits to choose from. Whether it’s faux fur, leather, or extravagant feathered ensembles, you can’t go wrong. Channel Moira’s The Crows Have Eyes 3 persona or any of her wild wig styles for extra flair.
Twyla Sands
To dress up as Twyla, Café Tropical’s sweet and quirky waitress, opt for a paisley tunic and an apron. Add a name tag for clarity, and bonus points if you can recount some of her disturbingly tragic backstories. Twyla’s innocent charm makes for a fun, easy-to-pull-off costume.
Community Service Alexis and Mutt
If you’re looking for a couple’s costume, why not dress up as Mutt and Alexis during their community service stint? This low-key costume requires just a pair of matching orange vests. While their romance may have fizzled, their looks together were on point.
Johnny Rose
Dressing as the Rose family patriarch, Johnny, requires a sharp suit and a playful pocket square. His sleek style is always sophisticated, even when his personal life is in disarray. Add perfectly groomed brows, and you’ve got Johnny’s look down.
Stevie Budd
Stevie’s laid-back, practical fashion sense is easy to copy and might not even require a trip to the store. An oversized plaid shirt and boyfriend jeans are all you need. For an extra touch, add a Rosebud Motel name tag to make sure everyone gets the reference.
Jocelyn Schitt
To capture Jocelyn’s signature style, opt for one of her vintage animal-print sweatshirts. Or, if you’re feeling bold, recreate her rocker-chic look with a Poison band tee, camo skirt, and studded belt. Don’t forget the chunky blonde wig, especially if you want to mimic her post-haircut disaster.
The Complete Rose Family Halloween Costume
If you’ve got a group ready to dress up, put all these costumes together for the ultimate Schitt’s Creek cast ensemble. With a mix of Johnny’s suits, David’s quirky fashion, Moira’s extravagant looks, and Alexis’s effortless chic, you’ll have the most fashionable (and hilarious) group costume of the night.
