There's nothing in this world that's comfier than a T-shirt. Thankfully, they can also double as Halloween costumes if you're just not feeling motivated to dress up this year. And for many of us, the "not feeling it this year" attitude is very, very real.
Honestly, this year has been stressful. Maybe you know someone who's been sick. Perhaps you've lost your job. Maybe working from home is wreaking havoc on your marriage. Nobody expected the fallout to be this terrible. Years into the future, we'll all continue remembering 2020 as the year when everything just fell apart.
Even if you can’t wait to celebrate Halloween, it’s possible that your creative energy has been zapped. And if you’ve been serving double duty as a homeschooling teacher this year, it makes sense. It’s hard enough to focus on lesson plans, work, and household chores all at the same time. Suddenly thinking up a clever and funny Halloween costume on top of that may just be too much.
This year, don’t be afraid to let a T-shirt do all the work for you. Here are 15 great options that you’re bound to love.
Pumpkin Dwight
Dwight from The Office trying to celebrate the season in a disastrous way is more or less how we're all feeling right now. Even better, you can wear this shirt all season long. Sure, this might not be the sassiest of mom shirts, but your mom friends who've also binge-watched the show will definitely love it.
'Witch Way to the Wine?' Shirt
Most moms can bond over the greatness of wine. A glass at the end of a busy and hectic day can make it so much better. If you fit this stereotype (just like I do), you'll love this T-shirt. It says exactly how you're feeling, and it's festive to boot.
'Frequent Flyer' Shirt
Moms are sometimes made to feel like they're witches. Instead, they're typically kindhearted people who know that the right decision may not be the most popular. Celebrate your inner witch with this shirt. You can even pair it with a pointy black hat if you're feeling more inspired.

'Mother of All Things' Shirt
Even if you don't have Thing 1 and Thing 2 by your side, you can still "dress up" in this Dr. Seuss-inspired tee. This is also great for the mom who might have one human child but plenty of fur babies. Heck, even if you have a lot of plants at home, this tee is still accurate.
'Momster' Tee
Not a monster, but close. This tee is cute and is a great "costume" to wear. Plus, you can wear it during standard days at home when you've run out of coffee and the meaning still applies.
'Momster' Baseball Shirt
Like the idea of being a "Momster" but need a shirt that's a little warmer? Then this baseball tee from Etsy, with a fun graphic, is a great choice. You can even customize the sleeve color, making it more personalized.
Pregnancy Halloween Tees
Maybe you're currently preparing for motherhood and looking for the perfect costume that's comfortable, yet not too out there. In that case, you might want to check out this T-shirt that will help announce to the world that you're expecting. If you have yet to make the announcement and want to do it for Halloween, this set would be a great idea.
'Mombie' Shirt
If you're not feeling the Momster vibe, why not be a Mombie? You can dress up this tee even more, maybe with some convincing face makeup. As a bonus, you can wear this any day you wake up after a night of no sleep (so pretty much every day if you have a newborn).
'Basic Witch' Tee
Much like wine, there's a pretty big stereotype that moms really depend on Starbucks to get through the day. If that sounds like you, this "Basic Witch" T-shirt may be all the costume you need this year.
'Here for the Boos' Shirt
Leave it to Old Navy to have a cute and affordable shirt that every mom would love. If you're planning on attending a small party with trusted friends, they'll all get a kick out of this T-shirt. The martini glass detail makes it extra special.
'Pumpkin Seeds' Maternity Shirt
Here's another great seasonal T-shirt for a mom who's expecting. Many of us remember this myth back when we were kids, adding a little humor to the holiday. This is also a great shirt for photos and announcements.

'Hocus Pocus' Teacher Tee
Without a doubt, Hocus Pocus is one of the most popular Halloween movies out there — and many moms are quick to introduce the film to their children. If you happen to be teaching a class this year (either online or in-person), this is a great shirt to wear to prove you still have Halloween spirit. It'd also make an incredible gift for the teacher in your life.
Wonder Woman T-Shirt Costume
Want something more than a T-shirt, but don't have the energy to put any more effort into it? You're not alone. Every mom has been a Wonder Woman of sorts this year, so now's the best time to show off your strength. This shirt comes with its own cape and headband. Feel free to wear it around the house whenever you need to remind yourself how powerful you are.

'Ghoul Gang' Tee
There are a bunch of scary ladies that help make Halloween what it is. Forget about Frankenstein this year. Instead, focus on powerful characters like Morticia Addams. This shirt has all the girl power you could ever ask for.
'Bad Witch Vibes' Tee
It's OK to be a bad witch — especially around Halloween. And especially if you're a mom. Celebrate those vibes this year with this cute (yet eerie) tee. You can even choose the color that suits you best.
