This year in the American Apparel Halloween 2014 catalog, there are a few costumes that make reference to some of the expressive emojis that you can find on your phone. Since there's not a lot of shading or dimension to the emojis, this makes replicating the costumes super easy, especially since you'll just need to acquire a few garments in a plain color.
Some of the fun emoji-inspired costumes that American Apparel has created this year include a boy and girl holding hands, two boys holding hands, the cha-cha dancer in the red dress and the twin dancers in black leotards. In real life, these costumes might seem a little abstract at first, but once you see what they're going for, they're pretty spot on.
