The phrase denotes attire replicating the appearance of two characters from the “Peanuts” comic strip, Lucy van Pelt and Charlie Brown, specifically intended for wear during the Halloween season. Such apparel typically involves recognizable elements such as Lucy’s blue dress and Charlie Brown’s yellow shirt with a zig-zag stripe. For example, a child might wear a yellow t-shirt with a black zig-zag and black shorts to embody one of the characters.
Replicating these characters for All Hallow’s Eve allows individuals to embody beloved, iconic figures. This choice provides a nostalgic connection to childhood memories and classic Americana. The simplicity of the clothing often makes it a cost-effective and easily recognizable selection. Furthermore, the cultural familiarity ensures ease of identification and positive reception.
