As Halloween approaches, it’s that time of year when kids scurry around in charming costumes, while parents lag behind, perhaps enjoying a cocktail or two. This year, why not take the opportunity to sport a costume of your own? But don’t settle for anything mundane. We’re talking about costumes that are so outrageous, they’ll leave your friends in stitches and your kids red-faced. After all, if you can embarrass them a little along the way, why not?
Remember all those moments when your kids claimed you mortified them just by being your normal self? It’s time to show them what true embarrassment looks like. They won’t be worried about your breathing when you’re strutting around in one of these get-ups.
Roar Like a Lion!
To really sell this lion costume, go barefoot (because, of course, lions don’t wear shoes) and prance from door to door. There’s no room for casual strolls here! Don’t forget, this fabulous lion outfit is currently available at Kohl’s. We might not have reviews, but we can guarantee it’ll be a 4-star experience, at the very least.
A Big, Silly Giraffe!
Now we’re getting somewhere. The oversized giraffe head is the cherry on top of this ludicrous ensemble. Just be prepared for the challenge of drinking your adult beverage while sporting hooves — it’s all part of the fun! Bonus points for pretending that the giraffe is sipping for you.
Squirrel Shenanigans!
Why not take a leap into the world of nutty humor? This squirrel costume is ripe for jokes and silly antics. Pair it with some exaggerated squirrel gestures and make sure to accompany your kids to the door for treats, shaking your tail and pretending to munch on an acorn. They’ll be mortified, and you’ll have a great time!
Banana Bonanza!
Nothing screams “happy to see you” like a banana costume. This one looks a tad worried, but it’s sure to make you stand out and likely leave your kids rolling their eyes. Next year, why not go as a mango or even a squash? The possibilities are endless!
Bacon Vibes Only!
Dressing up as bacon is more about character than costume. Imagine bacon as a weary, slightly grizzled figure, perhaps even a bit tipsy. After trick-or-treating, you could head to the local bar, light up a cigarette, and share your “work” woes with the bartender.
The Loveable Plush Dog!
What child wouldn’t adore a gigantic plush dog? And what adult wouldn’t enjoy the comfort of anonymity in a fluffy costume? Channel your inner Deputy Dog, and remember the fascinating history of St. Bernards, who used to rescue people buried in snow. This could lead to some interesting conversations this Halloween!
Half-Assed Unicorn!
Not everyone wants a full-body costume—some prefer a minimalistic approach. This half-unicorn option allows you to join in the fun while leaving people puzzled about the missing parts. Just remember, taking off the head while having hooves on your hands might become a funny challenge!
Christmas Came Early!
Who says you can’t celebrate Christmas during Halloween? If you’re a huge fan of the holiday, flaunt it with a Christmas tree costume! Confusion will abound, your kids will be mortified, and you’ll be the life of the party. Once your little ones have collected their candy, you can get festive with some holiday greetings.
Ultimately, Halloween doesn’t have to be just for kids. Grab a costume that brings joy to you, engage with other parents, and enjoy the laughter while your children navigate a sea of Pokémon costumes.
