With Halloween right around the corner I thought it would be pretty fitting to write this. Last year was inappropriate costumes. This year is all about the overrated "sexy" costumes that we see any female over the age of 18 dressed as every year for Halloween.
I am far from the person to judge what anyone else wears ever, however, maybe a little more creativity could be put into costumes this year instead of being a walking cliche and running into 12 other girls at the party dressed as a cat of some sort.
1. Cat
I know it's supposed to be sexy, but I'm tired of the cat costume. We're ALL tired of the cat costume.
2. Mouse

Putting on mouse ears and short shorts does not make you a mouse. It makes you a Karen from Mean Girls. Just stop.
3. Risky Business
I see this literally everywhere as soon as October hits. No one even knows what you're supposed to be anymore. The movie is too old.
4. Harley Quinn
data.whicdn.comListen, I know it's nice to have a bad ass female character to look up to. But I'm tired of seeing a million girls with pink and blue pigtails and no pants on. Cover up. It's cold out.
6. Cop
I'm gonna be honest, this makes you look a little like a stripper. Don't get me wrong, sex workers are valid workers. I'm just saying.
8. Playboy Bunny
I get why this was popular last year, RIP Hugh. However, it's still super cliche.
9. Sexual innuendo
It's not even funny and if you're not with your partner all night then you have to explain yourself and that's tedious.
12. Nerd
Nerds aren't meant to be a sex symbol and you kind of look like you're sexualizing a child. I'm not down with it.
13. Mario/Luigi
WHEN WILL SOCIETY RETIRE THIS COSTUME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
14. Mini Mouse
I swear one Halloween I saw 14 Minnie's at the same party. Make it stop.
