Halloween is the premium season for costume parties and those are always fun, right? Well, at least if you actually use your head when you’re picking a costume for yourself. In every costume party there’s always a few individuals who decided to skip that step and made the night a living hell for themselves.

A few key points for choosing a successful costume:

Don’t choose a costume that is too big

Dressing up as a hamburger or an apple may seem like a funny thing to do but it’s going to be a pain in the ass for you after the first 5 minutes. Bumping into people, having trouble in the doorways, not fitting into cars… You don’t really want that, now do you?

Don’t try to be “realistic” if that’s not comfortable

Ok, for an example mermaids have a fishtail and yes, dressing up as a mermaid is hot. If you try to replicate the tail by wearing a skirt that only allows you to take baby steps all night long or anything else like that you won’t be hot. You’ll just look like a dork.

Use consideration

When you’re about to buy that costumes that portraits you as a human toilet seat please think again. Dressing up as a menstrual pad isn’t funny either. It’s just plain awful and will make people avoid you.

Clichés and classics are two different things

Thinking about showing up as Elvis from Vegas years, a drag queen, a member of the Village People or something similar? Go ahead but don’t expect a huge “Haha”-effect since a few billion people have already done it before you.

So, in order to have fun don’t go crazy! Pick a costume that you know you’ll feel comfortable in and allows you to move around just like your regular clothes. If you’ve got more tips please share them with the rest of us and for more ugly Halloween customes, check out this site.
