It’s the end of October and that can only mean one thing: Halloween. Now we know what you’re thinking, “Halloween is still a week away.” But news flash, you are in college, which means Halloween is a multi-night celebratory event, filled with beer, bro’s, and girls wearing as little clothing as possible while still keeping their private bits covered (most of the time). Most of you probably got your wardrobe tips from Mean Girls, meaning you will be strutting the row in lingerie and some form of animal ears stating, “I’m a mouse, duh”. But when it comes to costume attire, maybe you should take some tips from us instead of taking the risk of your friends shunning you at Mags for your over skankified ensemble.
1. Be Creative
Everyone has adorned the leather mini and cuffs as a slutty police officer or played doctor with a frat star wearing an inappropriate nurses outfit—but maybe it is time to change it up. Try embodying something with a little more pizzazz such as a Bond Girl or reach for creativity by being a board game, such as Twister. These can be conversation starters or outright amazing costumes that will go down in history:
“Remember that girl who was Jelly Beans last year?”
“Yea, OMG.”
2. Watch Your Hemlines
Judging by the length of “shorts” girls find appropriate to wear to class these days, it will be amazing to see what they whip out on the sluttiest day of the year. We understand you want to look smokin’ for all of those questionably attractive boys (with your beer goggles on), but your lady parts should not be seen by anyone, unless it’s behind closed doors. Keep your valuable assets in check and make sure your skirt or dress at least hits below your butt cheeks. Remember skirts tend to ride as you walk…air on the side of classy. Apply this rule to nights beyond Halloween.
3. Compliment Your Best Assets
The costumes you order online look great on the 5’11 size zero models, however, they are not made for every body. Instead of trying to squeeze into something a little too snug or a little too short, find or make a costume that compliments your best features. Rock some cleavage or show some midriff but always make sure your outfit, well, fits.
4. Have Fun
Don’t think too much about your costume, after all, you are the best part of it. There is always pressure to look extra hot on Halloween, but some of the best costumes we have seen are the funny ones. These are the three, or four, nights of the year you can go crazy and be something that isn’t even humanly possible. Dare to be different and go all out. The only one judging you is you. Have fun and go crazy, Collegiettes.
