Sexy Halloween Costumes You Can Make Yourself

Including Sexy Men's Costumes!

Halloween isn't just for kids anymore! These sexy Halloween costume ideas can help you show the world how sexy you are, and can be re-worn at future Halloween parties. Chances are, most of the items you need are already in your closet.

Sexy Pirate Costumes

A sexy pirate Halloween costume for ladies would be fairly easy to put together. The main trick is to show a lot of skin. Try putting together some fishnet hose with a slightly frayed miniskirt and a halter top. If you have old clothes you no longer wear, you can cut them up to create this Halloween costume. Add some high-heeled shoes and a pirate hat and you're in business.

If you're a man, why not model your sexy pirate Halloween costume after Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean? Take an ordinary linen shirt with a large black vest, bell-bottom black pants and black boots. Put a big belt with a big buckle over this, and tie a long white sash over that. Preferably, everything should be a little bit sooty. Then come up with some novelty hair. This can be inexpensively bought at most costume stores or at Wal-Mart. Be sure to scare up a big pirate hat while you're at the store. Tuck some of the hair under the hat, and use glue or tape to adhere the beard to your chin. Make sure that the adhesives you use are safe for use on skin. If you like, you can put some beads on your beard for your sexy pirate costume, but be sure to do this before you tape or glue it on.

Sexy Cop Costumes

This sexy cop Halloween costume idea will work for both men and women. Get together some navy blue pants and a navy blue top. The top should have a very low neckline. Then find a police badge, a police hat and some handcuffs. Finish your sexy cop costume off with a prop gun and some sunglasses. Ladies can also select to show more skin by using short shorts and a cut-off or tied top with the sexy cop costume. Guys can try going sleeveless to show off those biceps.

Sexy Nurse Costumes

To create your sexy nurse Halloween costume, first get a simple short white dress. This can either be all one piece or a white blouse with a mini-skirt. Find some long white stockings and garters, and white high heeled shoes. Then all you need to complete your sexy nurse costumes is a stethoscope and nurse hat. There are instructions on how to make your own nurses' costume hat on About.com.

Sexy Sailor Costumes

The sexy sailor Halloween costume, like the sexy cop costume, should center around navy blue pants and a navy blue jacket with a low neckline. Pin on a few medals, and put on some white gloves. Hunt down a navy cap. Guys should finish their sexy sailor outfit with navy loafers, ladies with high heels.

You can also go for a skimpier sexy sailor Halloween costume. Look for something navy blue or white with blue stripes. You can also choose a cheap white sailor's cap for your sexy sailor costume. However, this is best paired with the white sailor uniform.

Sexy Military Costumes

There are a variety of different ways to create your sexy military Halloween costume. One is to go for the formal look. Men can put on their "dress blues" by combining tight navy blue pants, a white shirt and a navy blue jacket. Except leave your shirt and jacket wide open, showing some chest. Ladies can use a shorter jacket with a mini-dress and navy high heels or thigh-high boots for their sexy military costume.

Preferably your jacket should have shiny brass buttons and a little gold braid. These can be sewn on easily. Finish the sexy military costume with an army hat and some army medals and patches.

Another sexy military costume idea is camouflage, which is cheaper and more flexible than a dress army uniform. This can be a skimpy camouflage bathing suit, or shirt and shorts or skirt, or a sleeveless camouflage top with long camouflage pants. Find a camouflage top to go with your sexy military costume.

Sexy Devil Costumes

For ladies, easiest way to create a sexy devil Halloween costume is to put a red leotard together with red tights or panty hose. You can put a red mini-skirt over the top of this, but you don't have to. You'll need a spiked tail and a three-pronged pitchfork. You can attach some horns to a headband to finish off your sexy devil costume.

For a men's sexy devil costume, try combining tight red shorts with a red cape. You can also try a full body leotard. Add a spiked tail, a pitchfork and horns, and you're done.

Sexy Angel Costumes

For a sexy women's angel Halloween costume, start with a white leotard or short white dress. Wear white tights or hose, or select stockings with garters. Finish your sexy angel costume with high heels, white wings and a halo.

Sexy Referee Costumes

To create a sexy women's referee Halloween costume, combine a top with black and white vertical stripes with short black shorts or a short black mini-skirt. Wear black hose or tights with black high heels or black high-topped boots. Place a whistle around your neck to finish your costume.

For a sexy men's referee costume, combine tight black shorts (black Speedos will also do) with a tight shirt with black and white vertical stripes. You an also try going sleeveless. Wear knee-high black and white striped socks and carry a whistle.

Sexy Schoolgirl Costumes

Combine a little white blouse, a super-short plaid skirt and a plaid tie to make your sexy schoolgirl Halloween costume. Wear knee-high black or white socks, or try some thigh-high white stockings. Wear high heeled black or white shoes. Take a few small books along with you. You can tie the books with a long shoelace and toss them over your shoulder. Try out some accessories such as ribbons in your hair.

Sexy French Maid Costumes

To begin your sexy French maid Halloween costume, wear a sexy short black dress with spaghetti straps. Put on a small white apron over just the skirt. You can add a little white lace to this if you sew. Create or buy some white lace cuffs, as well as a choker and cap. Try black or white tights, hose or fishnet stockings with black boots or high-heeled shoes. Finish off your sexy French maid costume with a black or white feather duster.

Sexy Vampire Costumes

Start your women's sexy vampire Halloween costume with a fancy or frilly short black dress. If you sew, you can add some flouncy Gothic sleeves and a high black collar to this dress. Wear black hose and black boots. Then get some pretend fangs to complete your sexy vampire costume. Put on makeup which is a bit paler than your natural skin tone. Wear bright red lipstick.

Men's sexy vampire costumes should emulate Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt from Interview with the Vampire. Get a Gothic linen or satin shirt with lots of ruffles down the front and on the sleeves. Leave the shirt open and a bit rumpled. Wear ordinary black pants and shoes. Wear some pretend fangs. If you want to go all the way, you can add a long wig and powder your face to make yourself look a little paler.

Sexy Witch Costumes

To create your sexy witch Halloween costume, start with a short black dress with long, Gothic sleeves. If you don't have one, sew some sleeves onto an existing dress. Wear black panty hose or fishnet stockings with high heeled shoes or high boots. You can buy a witch's hat, or make one easily out of felt. Finish your costume off with an old straw broom. If you don't have one, you can easily make one by tying some straw or dry grass to a wooden stick with some rope.

Sexy Little Red Riding Hood Costumes

Wear a white satin blouse, a red skirt and a black belt or cummerbund. Then put a red satin cape on over this. Carry a small wicker basket with a gingham napkin in it. Complete your sexy little red riding hood Halloween costume with white hose and black high heeled shoes. Keep the makeup simple. Wear a little black eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick, but skip the eye shadow.

Sexy Firefighter Costumes

To create a sexy women's firefighter Halloween costume, put on a short black raincoat which comes down to the hip. Carefully paint a day-glow yellow stripe across the breast and hips. Or you can use yellow duct tape instead. Wear a cheap plastic firefighter hat. Wear fishnet stockings and high heels or tall boots. Finish your sexy firefighter costume with a fire extinguisher, if you desire.

Another sexy firefighter costume idea uses a red top with yellow stripes, short black shorts and a red hat. Experiment and see what you can create out of your closet.

Sexy Minnie Mouse Costumes

For a sexy Minnie Mouse Halloween costume, wear a red dress with polka dot stripes. Wear a lace petticoat underneath the skirt. You may put on a black bodice over the dress, if you like. Buy or make Minnie Mouse ears with a little red bow. Wear fishnet hose and tall boots or high heeled shoes.

Sexy Cheerleader Costumes

To make a sexy cheerleader Halloween costume, find a casual top and skirt or short athletic dress in bright, primary colors. Preferably this should have high school or college varsity letters on the front. Buy pom-poms to match, or make them with strips of paper, a stick and some string. Go barelegged, preferably wearing flat shoes so you can do a few cheers. Another variation is to wear fishnet hose with high boots or high heeled shoes.

A sexy Dallas Cowboys cheerleader costume can be made with a blue shirt, a white vest and white skirt. The vest should have three blue stars going vertically, and the skirt should have three stars going horizontally right below the waistline. Wear white cowboy boots and pom-poms in blue and white.

Sexy Bride Costumes

To create a sexy bride Halloween costume, put on a short white satin or lacy dress with spaghetti straps. Wear thigh-high stockings, a veil, a pretty gold necklace with diamonds or rhinestones, and gold, diamond or rhinestone earrings. Complete your sexy bride costume with a gossamer veil.

Sexy Gangster Costumes

To make a sexy women's gangster Halloween costume, begin with a black mini-skirt and small black top which exposes the midriff. You can also try a short black dress. Preferably there should be some white trim on the dress. Wear thigh-high black stockings with garters, a loose black tie, and a small men's hat. Try carrying money or a cigar as props for your sexy gangster costume.

A men's sexy gangster costume can be made with a short sleeved or sleeveless white shirt, slender black tie, black vest and pants and a black hat.
