REWIND: What Not to Wear Halloween Edition

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

Collegiettes, for some reason Halloween has become synonymous with lingerie and garters. I mean aren’t we supposed to be wearing costumes, not nothing at all? The holiday that once celebrated creativity and humor now seems to glorify the shortest hems and lowest necklines…

This Halloween, instead of heading straight to Party City’s Sexy Costume aisle, take a second and actually put some thought into your costume. If you don’t, you might end up sporting one of these outfits on “What Not to Wear: Halloween Edition.”

Ears Only

Just because you put cat ears, cheetah ears, bunny ears, fox ears or Mickey Mouse ears on your head — if you’re wearing them with the same dress I saw you in at Last Resort the week before — it’s NOT a costume! I understand that ears are a quick option if you’ve got no time for anything else, but at least add eyeliner-whiskers, a nose, a tail or some sort of fur accessory.

La Di Di Da Di…Miley Cyrus Anything

Don’t get me wrong, I love the girl, but she’s super overplayed right now. Please don’t show up in a white tank and tighty whiteys, a teddy bear onesie or a cropped Bulls jersey. Feel free to wear J’s on your feet with any other costume, though!

Victoria’s Secret Clearance

Go ahead and rock your Victoria’s Secret lingerie, just keep it UNDER your costume. A little “mystery” is just as sexy – after all, it is Halloween.

Collegiettes, this Halloween, push yourself to come up with something unique. Make sure you’ve got a costume that embraces the true meaning of the holiday – something kooky, fun and unconventional.
