Every Halloween party season, you see new costumes springing up as different trends become popular. When "The Dark Knight" came out, there was an army of Jokers marching on the party scene. When the now infamous Billy Mays passed away, we saw hundreds of blue-shirted and excitable salesmen all over. Halloween costumes have always been topical, but there are some standbys that show up year after year, and it usually seems to be the ladies who fall back on the more traditional costumes.
1. Little kitty cats seem to have some staying power in the world of Halloween costumes. Besides just wearing a Halloween t-shirt, the cat costume may be one of the easiest to assemble...which would explain why it remains at the top year after year.
2. People may experience elevated blood pressure, sweats, and increased heart rate when they see the wearer of the next costume, but the wearer may not have the accolades she appears to have as a Halloween nurse. There's something about a naughty nurse costume that captures the hearts (and other organs) of everyone.
3. Weirdly enough, the angel has been a high-ranking costume amongst the ladies during Halloween. Why an icon of religious purity has been turned into a sexy costume on a holiday based around ghouls, booze, trickery, and candy is a mystery that may never be answered.
4. Here is where I believe Halloween tee shirts will fall within the ranks of popularity this year. Well behind the most popular costumes, but still easily within the top five. If you doubt me, count the number of Halloween-themed tees you see at the parties you attend this year. T-shirts are perfect for the lazy male who doesn't get his costume together until the last minute...so, you know, most of us.
5. It may be because of it's versatility and ease of interpretation, but the witch has been one of the most popular costumes amongst adults every year. The green skin and warts have faded from popularity while deep cleavage and fishnet stockings have climbed in use. I suppose people like their witches kinder to the eye than our grandparents versions of this Halloween spook.
Halloween is a good time for all, but it's been growing in attendance amongst adults every year. Halloween fashion may be overtaking the costumes in common usage, but that doesn't mean that the spirit of Halloween is dampened...in fact, those spirits may be more restless than ever.
