Cheap and Easy
Chicken Cord-En-Bleu

When rocking the yellow sweatshirt and light blue jeans, be sure to keep your fists closed in order to really get the point across! Bonus points if you add a caption like this:
Bouncer

Be sure to keep your sunglasses on all night and always keep a passive face. Who knows, they might even let you into some bars for free!*

Nudist on Strike
Items needed:
- A Sharpie
- Some cardboard
- Some string
Cut a piece of string long enough to tie around your neck and attach a piece of cardboard to it. With your Sharpie, just write “Nudist on Strike”. Please be sure to stay on strike while uptown!
Life
Items needed:
- A white t-shirt
- A Sharpie
- A few lemons
Write “LIFE” in big block letters on the front of your t-shirt. Throughout the night, go up to random people handing out lemons. When life hands you lemons…
Sexy Sheet Ghost
Items needed:
- A bed sheet
- Some sexy lingerie
Cut some eyeholes in a sheet and put some hot lingerie on top. You’ll be all the rage in the ghost world!
Costumes to Avoid
Of course, each year, there are a few costumes that are always seen as big no-no’s.
As long as you avoid these costumes, you should do pretty well on the social scene.
Anything Culturally Appropriative
It’s unfortunate that it has to be said each year, but costumes that exploit the cultures and races of others continue to be seen across the globe.
This phenomenon has even led to Disney recalling costumes that they thought were a good idea so please be respectful.
Native and indigenous cultures are cultures, not costumes. Please do not wear a headdress or anything resembling if you are not from a headdress-wearing cultural group.
Additionally, do not try to pull off black face or yellow face. This is NEVER okay.
If you are unable to perfect your costume without exploiting someone else’s culture, go as Donald Drumpf.
For examples of patented non-offensive, guaranteed to get you laid costumes, see our guide above!
Anna Rexia
Does this one even need to be explained?
Sexy Harambe
Just let it go. It’s over.
Anything Clown Related
Since there are so many people currently terrorizing citizens across North America by dressing as clowns, it’s probably best to avoid this costume, or else risk being run over. Fortunately, getting run over may get you some tuition money from a lawsuit so going as a clown might not be so bad at all…
