Easy & Epic DIY Seinfeld Costumes For A Group
Looking for an epic group costume with three of your pals and have no clue what to do? Nod your hat to the '90s and dress up in these amazing easy DIY Seinfeld costumes! You may not win any style awards with any of these characters and their quirky looks (except maybe for Elaine), but you'll definitely take the cake for funniest group attire.
For those uninitiated in the ways of Seinfeld, let me give you a few reasons why the show and its characters are worth emulating. Considering when it started airing, Seinfeld was surprisingly progressive in terms of LGBTQIA issues. Though it wasn't blatantly supportive, it called out the hypocrisy of homophobia in a smart and creative way that forced viewers to question their stances. Second, the gang recognized the seriousness of guns — the Seinfeld cast never featured guns once on the show for the sake of humor.
And the final, and perhaps most important reason to dress up as the Seinfeld gang: One of you gets to be Elaine. My favorite character on the show, Elaine is a total style icon, 100 percent relatable to the struggles of womanhood, and has lived out our secret fantasies.
Oh, and in case you need a reminder of the gang's most common attire:
Whether you're a group of guys, gals, or a mix, this is a no-brainer group costume choice!
