• Mickey or Minnie Mouse—wear anything red, black or polka-dotted with some Mickey ears or a bow
• Decades—choose which past decade encapsulates you best, like floral or psychedelic clothes with lots of hanging fringe or sleeves for the 70s or bright neon disco gear for the 80s
• Ghost—channel your inner TikToker and have a photoshoot wearing a white sheet under a pair of sunglasses
