Trick or Treat? Sexy Halloween Costume Ideas for Adults

Step aside, pint-size ghouls and goblins on parade. The grown-ups are reclaiming Halloween. Last we checked, there was no age limit on a wicked good time. We’re all in favor of playing dress-up, whether you’re going out for your thrills or staying in and ignoring the doorbell.

This year, Bare Necessities has easy do-it-yourself costume ideas made up of good-looking separates you’ll re-wear after the Halloween party is over, as well as tongue-in-cheek sexy costumes designed explicitly (and we do mean that literally) for the bedroom.

Mischief Night, redefined.

TRICKS: Sexy D.I.Y. Costume Ideas (You’ll Actually Wear Again)

BEYONCÉ IN “SINGLE LADIES”
With a supremely versatile black bodysuit, shimmery sheer hosiery, a handful of rings, platform heels and a half-up bouffant, you and your squad will be set to put your hands up and get down. (Do consider meeting in advance to polish off your choreography.)

TOM CRUISE IN RISKY BUSINESS
A button-down shirt never goes out of style, as this 80s classic proves. Just add tube socks, white briefs and a makeshift microphone. Bonus: After the party, you can crash directly into bed, no outfit change necessary.

SPORTY SPICE OF THE SPICE GIRLS
In a track jacket, strappy black sports bra, leggings, sneakers and a high ponytail, you’ll be cutely costumed and supremely comfortable—guess Mel C was onto something. Bonus points: Eat candy with abandon because you’ll be taking every one of these pieces to the gym with you the next weekend.

TREATS: Sexy Costumes for the Bedroom

SCHOOL RULES: Sexy School Girl Costumes
Depending on how badly you misbehave, you might get held after class—may as well be wearing the Detention Drama set. More interested in being a good girl (or the irony of dressing like one)? Consider the Extra Credit, with nerdtastic suspenders and bowtie.

CHARACTER STUDY: Adult Disney Costumes
Everyone who grew up on the animated classics identifies with certain cartoon royalty. Are you feeling like a little mermaid, Arabian princess, ice queen, French beauty or poisoned apple princess? For comic book fans, there’s a sexy harlequin costume (just maybe don’t call your significant other a joker).

CAREER DAY: Career Costumes
Live a day in the (fantasy) life of a flight attendant, nurse, maid, police officer or football player in one of these cheeky outfits. We’re guessing you’ll get the job.
