Halloween parties are just around the corner. Take a look at these classic and dependable costumes that are relied upon by thousands of women every year.
1. Sexy [insert occupation here].
Fireman, policeman, teacher, president, maid, nurse, beer maid. Basically, any job can transform into something meagerly seductive. The costumes are affordable, accessible and DIY for the lazy.
2. Tom Cruise in that One Movie...?
You've probably heard of Risky Business when your parents try to make jokes about leaving you alone in the house for a day or two. You might not be aware of the plot per-se, but you definitely can recognize the Halloween costume: over-sized white collared shirt, no pants and knee socks.
3. Crayola Crayons
Crayola costumes are simple, colorful and perfect for your squad that cannot decide upon anything. All you need is a dress, construction paper and a black marker. Repeat the process if you want to go as M&M's.
4. Condiments
Easy and simple costumes that can done within no time. A colorful mini-dress or over-sized T-shirt with the work of a magic marker. You can also crack the same awful joke to hundreds of different people throughout the night. "She is the peanut butter to MY JAM!"
5. I'm a mouse...Duh!
Similar to sexy occupations, sexy animals are simple and easy. Mice, kittens, dogs, pigs are all possible options. Jazz up your look with quirky cosmetic choices. Or just go for the classic mouse so you can repeat that joke 100 more times.
6. That Princess from Star Wars!
The late great Carrie Fisher called the slave bikini costume "what supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hell." All you need is a metallic bronzed bikini, a maroon cape and gold jewelry pieces. If you are unaware of Star Wars knowledge, don't fret. All you need to know is that you killed Jabba.
7. "Hi! I'm [insert insensitive racial joke here]"
Cultural appropriation is not cute. So unless you want your car keyed or your house tee-peed, dress up as a sexy cop.
8. Audrey Hepburn
One who dresses up as Ms. Hepburn playing Holly Golightly will probably never know who Truman Capote was and thinks Moon River is a mini-golf course. A black dress, a pair of black gloves, a tiara, and a strand of pearls will make do. If you do not have a cigarette holder, do not use a pen or a chopstick. That'll diminish the ambiance.
If you're a Hepburn fan, I recommend Funny Face and My Fair Lady for costume inspiration.
All in all, Halloween is a fun and creative time. As long as you're not offending other individuals, wear what you like and binge on candy.
