Sexy Halloween Costumes – Are They Right for You?
ByWelcome Back Friend!
Everywhere we look, we are dealing with women being called sexy. Sexy movie stars. Sexy singers. Sexy models. The society is constantly throwing out the word sexy, but what does sexy really mean?
Sexy is relative to the location. It is also relative to the occasion or situation. If a female high school student came to school with super tight jeans and a top that showed her midriff, you can be sure that a few teachers might be annoyed, but she wouldn’t be considered unusual. On the other hand, if her female math teacher came to school in the same outfit, she would immediately be chastised for being too sexy for her role as teacher in a high school.
So, what are the elements of dress that are considered sexy? Think of a group of young women at a hot city club. What would they be wearing? Most likely, lots of deep plunging necklines, exposing plenty of you-know-what. Add in some tight jeans or a short skirt, some stilettos, and a dash of perfume, and the average female clubber will definitely be considered sexy by any observer. One of the elements of sexy is that the observers consider it sexy and appropriate. If one of these lovely females suddenly had her mother show up at the same club with the same clothing, the mother would most likely be thought trashy, overdone, or inappropriate. So, again, the role someone plays and the observers’ expectations of people in that role play a big part in what is considered sexy.
What other elements make an outfit sexy? I looked at Yahoo answers where seven women answered the question, “What is the sexiest outfit you own? While one thought an expensive short black dress with her Manolo’s won, others felt that it was any outfit that boosts their self-confidence. Several mentioned boots, leather mini skirts, stilettos, or dark, skinny jeans that boost their bums. If you asked a man what he considered sexy in a woman, he might mention visible body parts rather than the actual clothing.
We’ve talked about sexy being relative to the role and to the environment, but it is also relative to the occasion. A child’s birthday party would certainly have stricter limits. In fact, in a child centered gathering, it would be considered inappropriate to be overly sexy. Women would attempt to be stylish but not necessarily sexy. However, at a cocktail party, women would definitely try to be sexy. The dress, the shoes, and the makeup would all be geared at giving the woman a sexy image.
With all of these expectations, women sometimes just need to break free. They need to become the person they sometimes dream of being. They want to fantasize and be the sexy hot mama that is deep inside of them. Women are so constrained with roles – roles of wife, mother, employee. Each of those roles has expectations. Every age they travel through has additional expectations. As they get into their late twenties and start their professional lives, their options for exploring those fantasies diminish. With every extra year, they assume more roles (wife, mother, etc) and have fewer degrees of freedom with their appearance, their dress, and their expressions. Sometimes women just want to break free of all of these expectations. The old line “girls just wanna have fun” is a great expression for this side of women – the side that just wants to have fun and be fun.
So what options do women have when they “just wanna have fun?” Halloween is the perfect outlet for women. It is a time when they can be whatever they have ever dreamed of being. They remember watching Pirates of the Caribbean and thinking how much fun it would be to be the saucy wench – well, on Halloween they can be the sexy Buccaneer wench. They can wear their high boots and saucy hat and give their fantasies free reign. For a few hours while they are at their favorite Halloween party or event, they can be Sexy Suzy – not Mom, not employee, not any constrained role. They can be fun. They can be flirtatious. They can show off their hard-earned figure obtained after endless hours in the gym. Halloween is a time they can be a Playboy character. They can wear super short clothing and it is accepted. Women love Halloween sexy clothing because it let’s them be that sexy broad that lives within every woman.
So, ladies, enjoy being hot in your sexy Halloween costume.
