The clock is counting down to your first Halloween party of the season, and you haven’t decided what to wear? We understand the need to impress, and we are here to help. The end of October is the only time of the year when you are given the opportunity to be someone you are not—so why not be hot!
- Ambiguity is key. Make sure your costume of choice is not easily identifiable, so that people must ask what you are. This is a great conversation starter at any party. Your love interest will thank you for making yourself so approachable down the line.
- It’s all in the name. When your friends ask what you will be dressing up as this Halloween, it is important to have a name at the ready. Just add “sexy” in front of whatever it is you plan on being: “sexy doctor,” “sexy cat,” “sexy nun,” the list goes on. While ambiguity is key, you should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind as to your motives this Halloween. Just how sexy of a mouse will you be at the upcoming costume party? They will have to wait and see for themselves.
- Always have a lollipop with you. This tidbit of advice will complement any look and can boost your confidence exponentially if you’re trying to flirt. Picture this: you’re standing on the side of the dance floor. You look to your left and see a dashing Napoleon Dynamite. If only you knew how to step in… here is where your lollipop will serve you. Catch their eye, take a nice long lick, and you’ll have them hooked. All that’s left for you to do is to beckon them over (bonus points if you’re wearing paws or claws).
- Incorporate animal ears. When asked what you are, a simple pair of ears gives you the opportunity to quote one of the most iconic movies of all time: “I’m a mouse, duh…” (Mean Girls, circa 2004).
- Your costume should look DIY, but not too DIY. Your costume should not look like your mom made it, but it also shouldn’t look like you grabbed it off the rack at Party City. Throw together a few well-picked items, and go for the classic, “I-just-threw-this-thing-together-with-whatever-I-could-find-in-my-closet” type of look. This will imply that you will not just be looking sexy on Halloween, but rather, all year round. It also shows that you are spontaneous. And that’s hot.
6. But at the end of the day, do not forget to be classy. If there’s one cardinal rule of Halloween, it’s to always be tasteful. Sometimes it’s sexier to leave things up to the imagination. “Modest is hottest” …not.
