Now that there are plans of where you are going for Halloween and who you are going with, what’s to wear? To the haunted houses, corn mazes, and pumpkins patches you can wear your favorite fall clothes. Whether that includes layering your favorite sweater with an army jacket or you can wear a cute cardigan to spice things up. But to go trick-or-treating or to go to a costume party, remember there is what to wear and what not to wear. Costume no-gos include anything pertaining to race, religion, culture, traumatic events, ie, suicide, and sexual assault. Some appropriate costumes include; your favorite superhero, your favorite movie character, a person from your favorite decade, or an athlete.

 

No matter what costume you are in, remember to be safe. If you are out at night, be sure you are with a group of friends and carry some light so people can see you walking. Make sure to never go into the house to get the candy and try to stay in familiar places. It does not matter how old you are or how “cool” you think you are, make sure you go celebrate Halloween this year!
