Top five office-appropriate Halloween costume ideas
This year, Halloween falls on a Friday which might inspire many companies to throw a freaky fancy dress day. So, if you’ve been roped into some kind of October 31st event and plan to scare a colleague or two from behind your desk here are five office-appropriate Halloween costumes to consider. Don’t worry, there’s nothing too hot, tight or smutty as work is hard enough without exposing too much flesh or fogging up a sweaty mask.
iWounds
What would your boss do if he saw your bloody heart beating through your office shirt? Well, you don’t have to imagine as with the super cool Flesh and Zipper iWounds you could send him running for the hills in real life. The mastermind of Digital Dudz in collaboration with Morph Costumes, this app animated prop can be bought to life with any Apple or Android device and is a must-have for all career girls this Halloween.
The Clown Morphsuit
Clowns are what nightmares are made of right? Many people wince at the sight of once, so why not shock your workmates by doing the 9-5 in a creepy Clown Morphsuit? Sure, you’ll be covered head to toe in psychedelic prints and freaky faces but don’t worry as this spandex number is light and easy to wear. Not only that but while people can’t see you, you can see them meaning your work won’t be effected – unless of course you catch a glimpse of yourself in the computer screen then a coffee break might be needed.
Sleepwalking zombie
You’ll find plenty of zombie costume ideas online but if you want to keep things simple, turn yourself into a sleepwalking zombie by donning a pair of pyjamas, ruffling up your hair and painting some dark rings around your eyes with face paints. To make things a bit more terrifying, carry around a teddy soaked in fake blood and splatter the red stuff over your face and hands. Zombie pyjama and wig combos can also be bought online so unleash your imagination and join in the fun.
Petrifying pumpkin
If you need to be freaky for the office and sensible at client meetings, an orange jumpsuit combined with a Pumpkin Morphmask could be ideal. While the jumpsuit can be worn over your regular clothes and removed in an instant, the Morphmask can be taken on and off at your leisure. Thanks to the special blend of materials the mask is made from, you’ll also have clear vision so multi-tasking won’t be a problem.
Mummy Costume
Transform into a spooky mummy this year by slipping into a grey tracksuit and getting a friend or colleague to wrap you in long lengths of Muslin cloth. Secure using spray glue and complete with a Morph Mummy mask, gloves and white shoes. Need to pop out of the office without much notice? Then fear not as the bandages will slip off with your tracksuit – you just need to pack a change of clothes.
Halloween is the perfect time for a bit of office fun, so unleash your wild side and get involved. What are you going to be for Holloween? Tweet us @mscareergirl!
