Whether we like it or not, 2015 was pretty much the year of Donald Trump. You couldn't turn on your laptop or TV without seeing some story about the Donald. After saturating the media for the last few months, it's now safe to assume that Trump will inspire one or two (or 20,000) Halloween costumes this year. If you're thinking of going as Donald Trump for Halloween, you probably already have a solid game plan: suit, tie, cuff links, orange spray tan, and, most crucially, a wig to imitate Trump's very distinct hairstyle. But ask yourself this: Do you want to be mediocre? (Hopefully, you're answer is "obviously not.") Instead of the same Trump wig that other Trump-wannabes will be donning this Halloween, you can try using these much more creative objects as Trump's hair instead.

The beauty of dressing as Trump is that you can really exercise your creative license. Sure, he might not dress as flamboyantly or eclectically as Lady Gaga, but you can still have boundless fun with your Trump costume — trust me. You see, his magic lies in his hair. Unlike most celebrity costumes, Trump's hair is just so open to interpretation. Think about it; it looks like so many things. So don't even think about taking the lazy route and purchasing a wig, not when you can take this opportunity to really get creative.

Instead, consider using one of these 17 objects as Trump's hair for your Halloween costume, and I guarantee you you'll get the most high-fives at the party. Please note: You will have to spray-paint all of these a subtle shade of puke-orange.

Medical Gauze

Borrow some gauze from your friend who's dressing as a mummy for Halloween, spray-paint it orange, and place it on your head. Voilà! You're Donald Trump.
