5 Typical College Halloween Costumes

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

On every college campus in America, students are getting ready for another halloweekend, which in the regular world, is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, halloweekend is the one weekend a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.  

 

I’ve compiled 5 of the most typical Halloween costumes that you’ll see on college campuses:

 

1. The body suit with animal ears – classic “I actually just want to wear this hot body suit but I’ll throw some cat ears on to make it a costume”

2. Tom Cruise in Risky Business – you know you’ll see at least 20 freshmen who have borrowed their crush’s white button down for the night

3. Aliens – another excuse to wear a bodysuit, with the add on of some shiny makeup and two buns on their head

4. Cops – everyone loves a pair of handcuffs that say “I want to look like I’m into kinky things”

5. Skeleton – going on the pretense of spooky, but really just another reason to wear a bodysuit and add in some makeup
