Everyone loves a costume party. Other than Halloween, it’s the only opportunity to dress a little more risqué and creatively than usual….and get away with it. Well, just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean that fun and sexy costumes are out-of-season! Here are five theme party ideas to spice up those Saturday nights.
007: James Bond is a suave, sophisticated serial seducer. Girls, get your sleek spy outfits together. Think Charlie’s Angels meets Mod-British style.
The Look: A sexy, black cat suit would be ideal, but not all of us have those handy. Black shiny leggings are a great basic paired with a wide belt and spiked heels. Don’t forget the sexy cat’s-eye liquid eyeliner! Your James Bond won’t know what hit him.
Pharaohs and Queens: Cleopatra and Nefertiti will have nothing on you if you follow these style tips and dress like a queen from the BCE. The look of the day is glam, gold and glorious. You’ll definitely earn bonus points if you don a Cleopatra wig!
The Look: A gold skirt with a white top and gladiator sandals. Add chunky, gold costume cuffs, and a long gold necklace. Put on a gold headband, some dramatic eye makeup and you’re ready to go.
Hillbillies: Dressing like a hillbilly girl can be countrified-sexy. Everyone has a pair of Daisy Dukes stashed away in her dresser drawer. Now’s your chance to dig them out and wear them (because you know you secretly want to).
The Look: Of course, overalls and anything plaid create the ultimate farmer vibe. But, to turn up the heat a bit I’d match your go-to jean shorts with a pink bustier top. Don’t forget your cowboy boots and pigtail braids to top it off.
Tarzan and Jane: The tropical heat of the jungle will fill the party when you wear your Jane costume. Hopefully, your Tarzans will be as equally under-dressed and hot!
The Look: Got a large animal print scarf? Tie it into a halter or wear it as a belt with suede or black leather shorts. Or you can always default to an animal print dress or top. Pretty cute and pretty easy!
Nordic: It’s getting cold out, which means it’s Ugg/boot season. Here’s the perfect opportunity to wear them for a reason other than keeping you warm. So, throw a Nordic-themed party!
The Look: UGGS! Also earmuffs, booty shorts and a fitted sweater that has a little faux fur. It may be a chilly scene, but the look will be hot. You’ll be a Nordic princess and get to stay warm as the temperature takes a nosedive.
Follow these suggestions and it will definitely be Halloween year-round. As always, the more creative, the better!
