Halloween Costume Ideas for This Year

Halloween is around the corner and everyone wants the best costume, whether they want to admit that or not. Be honest, you want everyone at the party to come up to you and tell you how amazing your costume is. One thing everyone hates is getting the response, "what are you supposed to be anyway?" So keep it simple right? Well if it's too simple, then you will blend in with the rest of those wearing a plastic devil horn head band. Also, let's face it, not all of us are going to a party with a best costume contest. Most of us are going to a party where we'll be looking for that special witch or warlock to take back to the bat cave.

For Hallow's Eve, dark and sexy is the new elaborate and unexplainable. Ladies, if you can't think of anything better than a witch, be the witch that every man wants to take home for a broomstick ride. A short black skirt, sexy black wig, black stockings, dangerous high heel boots, and black eye liner will catch the appropriate amount of attention without the nagging questions. Carry a broom just for good measure. It also can be used to beat off those dressed as ironic political figures, and to sweep up that sailor leaning on the wall packing more than a pipe.

Guys, need I say more? There's nothing wrong with being dark on Halloween, but girls might be a little turned off by the scars you made all by yourself with tape, lunch meat, and hot sauce. Don't hide too much of yourself, or rather make your costume show off your best attributes. That goes for both sexes of course. If you have a rugged charm, the sailor or the construction worker may be your thing. Too Village People? Make it over the top and funny. Oversized props are always funny, like a huge pipe or a huge blow-up hammer. Just make sure you steer away from the obvious genitalia comparison jokes in a way that I have not. If you've got a good body, spend a little dough and rock the Spiderman outfit. Women will want nothing more than to see what's under the mask, and the whole outfit for that matter. Then, find somewhere to hang upside down from and wait for that wet kiss. That last part is a bad idea, but you get the point.

The best thing to remember about Halloween is that it's a chance to be out of your normal skin for a night. Being in a costume that you feel comfortable and confident in will be reflected in the way you carry yourself at the shindig. So even if you suffer from the all too common wallflower syndrome at parties, your simple yet sexy costume will be your chance to throw down like you've always wanted to do.
