After Being Forced to a Not-So-Exciting Halloween Event, Opt for an Offense Nationally Recognized
The age-old dilemma: you're required to attend a Halloween party, but your excitement is more about catching up on Netflix from the comfort of your own home. Or worse, you're essentially forced to show up in an outfit that you might judge others with the same obsession over. Never fear, we've got a list of costumes that harken back to the bad-old-days but are guaranteed to be remembered. And hey, if you get caught, you might even catch a wilder outfit or two in return!
Adolf Hitler or Michael Jackson in a Coffin
While the Nazi and Michael Jackson burial boxes may feel like a natural choice, the classic Nazi costume is the winner of the most recognizable costume. The Hitler salute and a mustache are all you need to appear at that upcoming fancy dress party that you're being forced to attend. Trust us, it's the conversation starter you've been waiting for.
The Flasher Costume: A Budget-Friendly and Impactful Option
Yes, you read that correctly. Being a 'flasher' is not only more appropriate to a Halloween setting but absolutely guaranteed to turn a few heads. All it requires is a Nazi SS officer's uniform, trimmed mustache, and a bit of creativity to rig the pants up just so. You'll definitely stand out, and perhaps cause a ruckus that no one can ignore. Just make sure you have the wind at your back, or you might end up flashing the floor instead of the party-goers!
The Boudoir Drama: A Pantyhose and Fiber Fill Phallus
If you're looking for the ultimate way to defy every sense of decency, the conceptual 'flasher' costume above can be taken a step further. Using pantyhose, a pair of pants, and some fiber-fill, you can create a phallic symbol that, you guessed it, doubles as a perfectly outfitted loophole for flashing. Once you step through the pantyhose, the creature will likely reach the floor in all its glory. The ensuing commotion is all you need to get your point across.
Why to Stay Comfortable and Casually Offended?
Of course, if you truly don't want to attend the event and the party provides a platform for judgment, you might want to consider not putting your reputation on the line. Instead, dress in something clean, comfy, and casual. You don't want to go through the trouble of being offensive if it's just going to come back to bite you in the end. Make your displeasure known, but don't be so overtly offensive that you'll be remembered for a costume that, in all honesty, risks being judgey itself.
Final Thoughts: Whether you're going to stand out among the crowd or blend in (if that's a possibility in a fancy dress event), always remember the reason behind it. Ensure your costume is a reflection of your true self, and perhaps, a bit of mischief. After all, Halloween is meant to be fun, not a stress-inducing event. So, choose wisely and have fun!
