Ah, Halloween, the only chance to truly break away from your office-appropriate attire and dress up in vintage getups and face makeup—if you're into that. Just remember: The same rules don't apply as they did during your anything-goes college party days. (Nobody wants to get sent to HR here.) But that doesn't mean you shouldn't go all out this year, even if your work costume contest has gone virtual for 2020.

Below, inspiration for Halloween looks that don't involve the term "sexy," colored contacts, or spoonfuls of fake blood. Instead, when it comes to the office, think pop-culture icons, along with easy people or things to imitate.
