Sales of green tracksuits and white vans have increased by thousands of percentiles, indicating that the Squid Game look may be the hottest costume for Halloween.
The hapless contestants of Squid Game, a life-or-death survival game where players can either win millions of Korean won or die trying, are forced to wear a simple look. A green striped tracksuit and white slip-on shoes.
According to sales statistics, this exact outfit is flying off the shelves. As reported by Variety and Sole Supplier, sales of white vans have jumped 7,800% and online retailers are returning Squid Game-style outfits in search results for green tracksuits.
Television will provide a lot of inspiration for this year’s Halloween costumes. After all, this is a year in which there have been many different Marvel shows on Disney Plus, as well as the pursuit of Ted Lasso. I would bet any of these shows will fuel this year’s Halloween parties.
Squid Game is the number one Netflix TV show in the world, and for good reason. The show about poor Koreans forced to play deadly children’s games for a chance to make millions and pay off their debts has resonated around the world.
Despite the seemingly overnight success, Squid Game had been in development for 10 years as the director tried and failed to make the story fit for the screen. And when Netflix finally went ahead and produced the show, the director revealed that the intensity on set caused him to lose six teeth due to stress.
But the result is worldwide success and critical success. Check out IGN’s Squid Game Season 1 review, or our full breakdown of every deadly game featured in the series.
