A concha (or any piece of pan dulce)
You are what you eat — and you really can be this Halloween. Dress up as your favorite piece of pan dulce. If you’re really trying to get a conversation going, get a group of folks to cover all of the popular treats.

Beto O’Rourke
The general public may not be as fond of Beto as they were last year, but he’s still a recognizable guy that may get some solid feedback from folks. Sport a pale blue button-up with the sleeves rolled up, get sweaty and flash that smile. Your costume is complete.

Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker all enjoying retirement
While we miss the Big Three living it up on the basketball court, it’s still super romantic to think of the iconic Spurs players still being friends in their life after retirement. Have fun with how you dress up and channel their very different energies.

Tim Duncan as an assistant coach
It’s not much different than Tim Duncan as a star player —a short-sleeved button-up with light jean shorts and brown sandals. The only difference may be his dreads that he’s been known for as of late.

George Strait
If you’ve got all the swagger in the world, don a cream-colored cowboy hat and some brown cowboy boots, and you’ve got yourself a costume to be George Strait. Grab an old acoustic guitar if you can for the full effect.
