Struggling to find a costume idea? Let us help you out a little here with what not to do, because well, as you’ve seen, people can really butcher a good costume
TOP 5 WORST HALLOWEEN TRENDS
5. Slutty (insert random occupation). Maybe you do have a killer bod, but don’t force me to question why I ate four Rice Krispie treats before I came to this party. In this sense, less is NOT more.
4. Tom Cruise. Risky Business. I know it’s great, but maybe it’s time for a new costume idea if you are one of three Tom Cruise’s running around in your socks at a party. Just a thought.
3. If the size of your costume is an age that eats from the kid’s menu, it probably won’t fit and you probably shouldn’t be wearing it.
2. We’re all about creativity, but if you have to take more than a minute to explain your costume, you’re probably better off just throwing a sheet over yourself and being ghost.
1. Yourself. Despite what you may think, it’s not clever or even the slightest bit humorous to be yourself on Halloween. Please, just dress up a look like an idiot with the rest of us!
No matter your plans- get a good sugar high and be safe this Hallow’s Eve.

-Onezies sure were a big hit this year… however, not with the intention of looking 7. The sneakers are an important accessory to run from the fashion police.
-Representing a dying breed, Peter (19, from Atlanta, GA) knows how to work his recessive genes. Take the perfect shade of green and add that with a fiery personality and you got yourself a full blown case of gingervitis.
-Dear Lady of the Night: wearing your bra as a main accessory is not going to make it this year as a fashion statement.

-Breaking the standard “fratastic mold,” Emanuel (21, from Lawrenceville, GA) incorporates classics but has got the swagger to make it light years away from bland. He is living proof that confidence is the ultimate accessory.
aaaaaaaaaa
-Whoever gave hand-me-downs a bad reputation clearly got the short end of the stick, because Nate (21, from Lawrenceville, GA) gladly took his ole’ man’s blazer and had it tailored it to fit him perfectly. Like father, like son… but way better and with badass suede elbow pads.

Yup yup, Halloween is right around the corner. So, be the black cat’s meow and instead of just throwing on an oversized oxford to pull off being Tom Cruise from Risky Business, or the same sexy police officer uniform you wore two years ago… get your creative juices flowing and make a costume out of your everyday resources. Stop in Dynamite to buy pieces that you can wear beyond the night of the 31st.
-The easiest outfit for any sexy hipster to throw together, Mary Ellen (21, from Atlanta, GA) “dresses” as a stereotypical American Apparel ad. Not too far off from reality and it won’t sit in a box in her closet collecting dust.
-Splurge $2 on a tall boy, strap on that fanny pack (so convenient, how did they not stay in style?) and get in vacay mode with a Hawaiian shirt and a cheesy straw hat- Colin (21, from Atlanta, GA) throws together a drunken beach bum tourist like it ain’t no costume.
-Skates, knee high socks, and retro shades- Natalie (21, from Savannah, GA) embodies the essence of Roller Girl from Boogie Nights. (Dirk Diggler and video camera not included.)
Obviously if you are looking this brilliant, you have to have a phenomenal night. Join other trick-or-treaters and DJ Immuzikation at the fabulous 283 Bar Halloween night to show off your freshness. 21 and up. (don’t dress as miley cyrus, you might not be allowed in.)
And FYI- if you find yourself in Athens this Friday the 16th, and you happen to be itching for some slam dunk 70’s and 80’s jams, call on “The Ghostbusters” (DJ Mahogany and Easy Rider) to bust your ghosts all night long. Spinning all your favorites- FOR FREE. 21 and up.

-Kumbaya my lord, Lauren (22, from Lawrenceville, GA) truly puts the ‘hip’ in hippie. Reviving a second-hand dress from Norway, she is the essence of spirituality and youthful optimism. Groovy, baby.
-Lauren (20, from Peachtree City, GA) colors the world with her playful imagination and ability to throw any basic fashion rules out of the window. A melting pot of quirky pieces- she thinks outside the box and makes a look that is unique.

-This god forsaken soul needs some major support in more than one way. Her ill-fitting undergarments and extreme willingness to share this with the public really put her “friends” in a predicament. Obviously no one has the heart to reveal to her the fashion crime she is committing. What a crying shame.
aaaaaaaaa
-His life revolves around music- as the founder/president of Conscious Alliance UGA- Taylor (21, from Marietta, GA) still brings his A-game in his style. His look is undeniably fly: Sector 9 longboard, classic Ray-Bans… and there is no possible way to avert your attention away from those dope Nike Air Huaraches. His passion may be music, but he sure does fool me as a fashion fiend.
-But, seriously, if no one ends the madness, will it ever stop?

-So fresh. So clean. Terrence (21, from Gwinnett, GA) draws attention to detail- something only a trained eye can appreciate. An otherwise simple look is instantly upgraded with a borrowed vintage Swatch watch and a Delta pin. Luckily his slickness doesn’t stop there- he manages emerging The Electives, an Atlanta-based band who infuses art, fashion and music.
-Visible panty line. (VPL). Overaccessorized. Advice: go home and start from scratch.
-No big surprise that Robert (21, from Atlanta)’s look is reminiscent of Dwayne from A Different World. As a comedian and man of style it is imperative that he covers his funny bones at all time.
-No if’s and’s or cigarette butt’s about it…homegirl needs a purse. But, at least she has her essentials.

-Style is what you make it and the possibilities are endless when you are willing to explore new looks. Digital media designer Sarah (22, from Athens, GA) embodies the true essence of original-yet-wearable fashion. Big props to her and the designer/owner/buyer of all things creative and artistic- Miss Airee Hong, the owner of Athens’ vintage superstore Agora full of kitschy shoes, cds, records, and other random knick knacks.

-The socks with sandals memo must have spread like wild fire last week. I understand the difficulty of initial weather change, but this is never okay.
All from Atlanta and all equally bringing the heat to the world of fashion, El (20), Shiri (21) and Raasan (21) have that element of je ne sais quoi. This top notch threesome puts Athens on the map and gives Southerners a swanky reputation. (Photo courtesy of J. Alburl)
