Calling all costume procrastinators — you could be a Harpoon beer or Boston Pops conductor.

Be the best-dressed Bostonian at any Halloween parties tonight.

Has anyone else seen the Spirit Halloween costume trend going around?

We scoured our Instagram feed to find costume ideas for all those procrastinators out there — here are three local looks you could rock tonight.

Boston Pops Conductor
To pull this off, you’ll need the classic red bow tie, baton, and possibly expert knowledge of scores by famous American composers. You know, if you have time to learn them.

Harpoon Beer
The local brewery recommends dressing up as its recent release, Winter Warmer. Pull off the seasonal brew look with your favorite ugly Christmas sweater and some L.L. Bean boots. It wouldn’t hurt to bring the beer with you, too.

Boston Influencer
We feel seen, Boston Lyric Opera. Make like the BOStoday City Editors and grab a classic Boston fall fit, complete with a scarf and coffee — though we’d opt for a local brew or Dunkin’ over Starbucks.
