Like the classic horse costume, here's one Halloween dress-up that absolutely requires two people. So get your significant other, or even a friend or sibling (after all, Margot's and Richie's love was forbidden), throw on your best somber wounded hipster face, and get ready to party like you're bored with 1976. Their clothes are common in vintage shops (and your parents' attic), so it's just a matter of keeping them all neatly pressed and maintaining good posture. To really nail the part, one should go to a social gathering you don't want to; after all, you're supposed to look like you think the party sucks. Just remember that if the DJ starts playing some Rolling Stones, get ready for the most awkward make-out sesh of your lives.
Classic line: "I think we're just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that, Richie."
