When it comes to Halloween costumes, mine have run the gamut: I’ve been through the whimsical phase with my turn as a fairytale mermaid, the scary phase (my interpretation of Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas remains an all-time fave) and the pop culture phase (Wednesday Addams. Dead Nirvana cheerleader. And, of course, this year’s Jennifer Beals.) I even went through a “sexy” phase (didn’t we all in college?) Basically, I love the idea of dressing up as anything that strikes your fancy … with a few exceptions.
For all the creative, badass costumes to be found (or made!) out there, there’s always at least one that takes things from fun to WTF in a matter of seconds — one need look no further than this year’s sexy Handmaid’s Tale look for proof. And while that PR nightmare was eventually pulled, there’s still plenty left on the racks to make your eyes roll deep in the back of your head. From the classless to the offensive to the downright bizarre, a search of some of the biggest retail offenders (I’m looking at you, Yandy), yielded no less than 12 ensembles that had me saying, “I can’t” this year.
