Another great option would be dressing up as Harry Potter himself since he has been an icon when it comes to wearing glasses. If you would like to go the less traditional route, consider dressing up as a character from your favourite book or movie while wearing glasses, such as Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and Madeline in “Madeline: Back In School”.

Here are a few tips on how to match your eye glasses to your costume:
- Wear a pair of glasses that are the same colour as your costume – Wearing glasses that are the same colour as your costume can really help to make it feel more authentic.
- Dress up in a way that makes you look like an animal, and put on a matching mask – Animal costumes are quite popular during Halloween. You may not have considered it before, but wearing glasses can make you look like an animal in a costume.
- Create a DIY costume to resemble something from your favourite book or TV show – If you can make your own costume then it will be easier to incorporate your glasses into it by making them a key feature.
- Look for costumes with built-in eyeglasses frames – Some store-bought costumes have built in glasses frames, so if you can find one that fits over your glasses and looks right for the costume then it will be a lot easier.
