As the movie Mean Girls state, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut, and no other girls can say anything about it. This is wrong. And as much as I love quoting Mean Girls, please do not
go out on Halloween night, just wearing lingerie and some form of animal ears. Seriously though, most people do notice girls who are dressed like they’re easy and they do talk about them like they’re easy. Right now you are probably thinking I am a prude. That’s not true either. The fun of Halloween is getting to dress up as something you’re not and we’d all be lying if we said we didn’t want to look sexy. So, here are some do’s and don’ts to help you when deciding on a Halloween costume this year.
Skanky (the DON’TS)
1. Do not wear any form of lingerie with animal ears on your head. This is not very original and it shows no creativity. Instead, it just screams, “I’M DESPERATE!”
2. Adding the word slutty in front of whatever you are dressing-up as is generally a bad idea. (Slutty nurse, slutty teacher, slutty cop, etc.) Yes, this will get you attention from guys, but it will be short lived…only for the night is what I’m getting at. That is not the kind of attention anybody truly wants.
3. Please, please, please do not go out showing everything you have to offer. Some things should be left up to the imagination.
Sexy (the DO’S)
1. Pick you best asset and highlight that. If it’s your chest, then show some cleavage. If you like your legs then wear a short skirt. But please, by all means, do not show off every part of your body.
2. Look for a costume that fits well. You want it to hide your flaws and enhance your figure. Figure flattering is the key!
3. Accessories are really all you need to add sex appeal to your costume. Try thigh high stockings or fishnets, and any other accessories that compliment your costume. Heels can be good if you aren’t wearing a short skirt.
Costume Ideas
1. If you are spending Halloween this year with your group of girls, then go as the U.S. Women’s Olympic gymnastic team. It is time relevant, and the costumes are super easy to put together. Just find matching gymnastics leotards. The best part is these are tight fitting, and show off your legs without giving off a slutty look.
2. If you are lucky enough to have a date, but still want a sexy costume, then go as soap and a loofah. Have your date dress as a bar of soap, it can be ordered or made, and you can go as a loofah. The loofah costume is best when homemade. It just requires plenty of tulle and string. Look up an easy how-to instructions online.
3. For a cheap costume that you can mostly find at the thrift store, go for Madonna of the 1980s. Neon leather leggings, and a cutout dress is an iconic look of Madonna from her music video, Like A Virgin. This outfit can be easily replicated.
