Top 8 Cringe-Worthy Costumes to Ditch this Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WM chapter.

Remember the ye olde Halloween age of innocent ugly-witch and bed-sheet-ghost costumes (“I got a rock.”…anyone, anyone?)? Gone are the days where girls were inspired by Cady’s “Bride o’ Frankenstein”; rather, today it’s all about the saucy styles of Karen’s “I’m a mouse, duh.” However, one really does have to query what exactly the modern brains behind Halloween costumes were thinking when they decided upon the following as perfect additions to the sexy Halloween culture…

1. Sexy Ebola Containment Suit

Too soon? The costume industry begs to differ as they shelf up this new disease-inspired getup. Well put by the clever creators, “As the deadly Ebola virus trickles its way through the United States, fighting its disease is no reason to compromise style.”

2. Sexy Squid Costume

If a neon, cross-eyed squid doesn’t scream “Sexy Halloween”, well then I don’t know what quite does. Just make sure you don’t forget the tentacle-d, furry leg warmers…they’re crucial for a full effect.

3. Sexy Bacon Costume

Who doesn’t love bacon? It’s perfect for everything, from sandwiches to an entire package by itself. So why not make it into a wearable creation? Bacon may go straight to your hips, but this daringly-fitted dress is sure to flatter your figure.

4. Sexy Red Lobster

You don’t need to feel the sea breezes of Maine to know this lobster-look is a fresh catch (especially the furry claw-gloves, great for parties!). This year, really get into the Halloween sea-son with this crustacean costume.  Pass da butter!

5. Sexy Big Brown Beaver Costume

The title of costume pretty much sells itself, what more could you want for your $43.99? And in case you were wondering–yes, it does come with pleather fingerless gloves to complete this wily woodland look.

6. Sexy Ear of Corn Costume

Sometimes you feel like you have to shun fashion trends in the name of Halloween costumes…but never fear! Featuring a fab peplum waist and hip halter-neck, you’ll never feel more attractive than struttin’ your stuff in this not-quite-candy corn ensemble.

7. Sexy Scrabble Costume

Dressing up as nerds is sooo 2013, it’s time to step it up, people! Now you can spell out both your Halloween spirit and passion for reading real good with this saucy scrabble board frock.

8. Sexy Olaf Costume

If you, too, enjoy the likes of warm hugs, the time has finally come for you to fulfill your dreams of emulating everyone’s favorite snuggly snowman in a sensuous manner! Just kidding. This is gross, ew. Forreals… LET IT GO.
