Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

Kindle price: $2.99

This works best with twins, but anyone can do it! Wear the same or similar clothes, but make one set disheveled. Bonus points for Victorian-era doctor’s garb to reflect the literature’s actual era.

Dorian Gray and his portrait from The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Kindle price: $2.99

Another great choice for twins but workable for anyone. Dress in your dandiest clothes. One person should also carry or wear a picture frame and age both the clothes and themselves with makeup, spiderwebs, tears, and other spooky details.

Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Kindle price: 60 cents

Get your Regency era fashion on! Grab an empire waist dress for Miss Bennett’s look, some high-waisted pants and a cravat for your Darcy, and you’re halfway to happily ever after!

Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Kindle price: $12.99

Use Gatsby as an experience to live out your 1920s fashion dreams. Whether you go with a more demure look including a cloche hat or a sassier, flapper girl dress, your Gatsby will look the part with a suit—though white will really drive the costume home.
