The Top Halloween Costumes to Wear to Work

Skyler Raine
Halloween is a fun holiday for both young and old. Release that inner child and don't be ashamed to dress up in the most ridiculous costume you can find. But if Halloween falls on a weekday and you work in the kind of environment where you cannot exactly go as a Satan-worshiping half-naked prostitute, a little decorum in your outfit goes a long way. So assuming that it doesn't matter what you wear as long as it is something that will not shock or upset your boss, there really is a vast amount of outfits you can choose from and many of the traditional Halloween costumes will do.

Whether you are male or female, dressing up as an FBI agent can work as it almost fits in perfectly in the corporate world of suits and ties. Then again, any government employee outfit can work as you will be sure to be thoroughly covered up for example a fireman or postal worker. If you're in a job where you are on your feet a lot you can go as a typical tourist with comfortable shoes, bright clothes, a floppy hat and a dangling camera around your neck. If you're looking for an outfit that is subtle and requires little or no effort you can always go to work wearing your normal attire accompanied with a picket sign reading "Nudist on Strike!" If you want something a bit more thought provoking wear something with a large cross painted on it whilst holding something in each hand like for instance a bible in the one and a devils fork in the other. This, of course, would mean that you are a cross between good and evil as this is a play on words (you are actually a cross in between the two items). Any items can work here as you will be a cross between the two.

If you want to keep up with the whole evil, scary costume tradition but don't want to overdo it at work, there is always the option of going as an executive vampire sporting a designer outfit and the necessary teeth. Another subtle idea for evil (but maybe not that scary) would be to go as a defense attorney but this depends on where you work and everybody's sense of humor at the office.

Then there is always the option of not showing up for work at all and just claiming you were there the whole time as The Invisible Man...
