Five types of Halloween costumes you’ll undoubtedly see this year
The characters you can’t avoid
Everyone loves Halloween.
A holiday purely dedicated to mischief, costumes, and candy. What’s not to love?
Halloween is a perfect opportunity to express a level of individualism that no other day of the year provides.
From the dreadfully over-used “sexy cat,” to a cleverly crafted Caitlyn Jenner outfit, here are five types of costumes you will undoubtedly see Penn Staters wearing tonight.
The Sexy Whatever
Seemingly every girl’s go-to costume is a sexy cat, or something of that basic nature.
Sexy maids, school girls, nurses, angels, devils, police officers, firefighters; basically every major industry becomes overly-sexualized on Halloween, providing girls an excuse to wear as little as possible.
The Movie/TV Character
Movies and television literally provide us thousands of characters that can be recognized immediately if imitated correctly on Halloween.
This one is for all those Harry Potter and Napoleon Dynamite devotees who still annually mimic their favorite characters.
Frat Guy/Greek Attire
A college favorite, this costume will never die. If you do not want to spend any effort, time, or money on a costume, this would be the ideal selection.
Expect to see a your fair share of oversized polos and boat shoes this year.
Random Inanimate Object
There’s always that guy that shows up to the party dressed as a banana, a spoon, a crayon, a red cup, an iPhone, or some sort of object. Don’t act too surprised when you see another student dressed up as the HUB Crane.
Famous Person/Pop Culture
Using current events to inspire a Halloween costume is both practical and efficient.
Moreover, people love giving celebrities shit for the things they do. As an always-hot topic in society and culture, expect to see plenty of notorious celebs satirically portrayed at parties this weekend.
