What You Should NOT Be For Halloween This Year

By Nicole Hindberg on October 9, 2018

It’s that time of year, you either have been planning your costume for a while or you’re scrambling to get a costume together at the last minute because you got invited to an unexpected party. Most people turn to the internet for ideas for costumes. Well, I am here to share some costumes you should NOT be this year.

A cat. Don’t be a cat. Ladies, it’s been done to death everywhere every year. I know it’s sexy or whatever, but it’s unoriginal and people notice. There are a million and one costumes you can make sexy if you want to be unoriginal for Halloween.

A Football Player. You’ve seen it, I’ve seen it.  A girl puts on an over-sized jersey and doesn’t wear pants. Yeah, it’s sexy, but I’ll let you in on a little secret, you look very stupid.

Eleven from “Stranger Things.” She’s an amazing character no doubt, but come on, that’s been done to death so many times and I think we can agree that craze died out a while ago.

A Hippie. Oh, the Hippie, the cheap way to look cute without really trying on your costume. It may seem original and fun, but you look pretty lazy. Just throw on some shades and put a headband the wrong way on your head and BOOM, you’re a hippie.

 

A penis. Any rendition having to do with that appendage is dumb and it makes you look super creepy.

“The Purge” Characters. I’ve seen some pretty amazing costumes from “The Purge” and they really scare people like me when you’re walking around the street and stuff. There are many cases where people thought that a murderer wearing a mask on Halloween was a just a costume, so no one batted an eye when they walked around the street.

Couples Salt and Pepper/ Ketchup and Mustard/Peanut Butter and Jelly. Any of those cutesy couple costumes that are “things that can’t be without each other” make you look like that annoying couple no one wants to talk to at parties. Couples costumes can be cute if they’re clever but those have been done to death so just don’t do it okay?

 

“Suicide Squad” characters. That is the definition of done to death costumes in 2017 and if you show up to a Halloween Party in 2018 like that you will be judged without a doubt.

The Zombie. Trust me, you may think you look cool but when you sweat off all your zombie makeup dancing or walking around, you’re going to regret being a zombie for Halloween.

 

Tom Cruise from “Risky Business.” It was clever, probably five years ago. Similar to the football player, it’s just an excuse to not wear pants for the night. It’s a lazy and dumb costume so don’t do it!

 

Now that I’ve pointed out how common and lazy these costumes are, you should check on Halloween how many you see. Once you consciously notice how annoyingly common and lazy these costumes are, you’ll rethink wanting to be them for Halloween.
