Halloween is about fun and creativity, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend hours crafting a complex costume. The “Walking Red Flag” trend plays on the idea of people metaphorically waving red flags in relationships—so why not make it literal? It’s a hilarious way to channel those questionable exes while looking stylish and keeping it simple. Plus, it’s an instant conversation starter.
When I saw this idea on TikTok, I knew I had to recreate it. With just a red dress and some red flags in hand, you’ll be ready to make a statement (and get a few laughs) at any Halloween party. This viral trend is as easy to pull off as it is hilarious and only requires a couple of items (most you may already have in your closet), making it the perfect last-minute option. See how my version came together below!
How to Put It Together:
Here’s how you can recreate this look in just a few easy steps:
- The Red Dress: Start with any red dress you have in your closet or you can even grab one from Amazon. The beauty of this costume is that any style will work—short, long, tight, or flowy—so long as it’s red. Bonus points if it’s bold and eye-catching.
- Red Flags: Get creative with how you display the “red flags.” You can buy small red flags from a party supply store, or if you’re in a rush, make your own using red construction paper, sticks, or straws. Carry them around, pin them to your dress, or wave them proudly. I found mine on Amazon here.
- Accessorize: Keep your accessories simple so the red flags are the main focus. Red shoes or lipstick can complement the look, but you don’t need much else!
