Halloween 2011: Sexy, Not Slutty

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at OK State chapter.

As we all learned from Mean Girls, “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”  Well that’s not exactly true now is it?  Girls will judge no matter what so make sure to keep it sexy not slutty this year.
 
It’s a fine line to walk, so here are some tips to make sure you don’t end up on the wrong side of that line this Halloween.
 
Make your own costume!
It’s usually a lot cheaper and not to mention more fun!  As a bonus you can control the neckline and length.
 
Pick just one asset to accentuate.
Leave a little to the imagination girls, If your wearing a plunging neck line, then you don’t really need to expose your mid drift.  The same goes if your showing off your legs, let them be the focus and wear more on top.
 
Choose something you feel comfortable in! 
If you feel uncomfortable, then you will probably look uncomfortable, and that’s not sexy.
 
Remember Funny and original costumes are eye catching and memorable.
If you wear lingerie and heels you just blend in with the 20 other girls wearing the exact same thing.  So make your costume eye catching so you stick out from the crowd.
 
Confidence!
Even if your costume is leaning a little to the slutty side, wearing it with confidence makes it instantly sexy.
