50 Super Appropriate Adult Halloween Costumes

[ad_1]

Halloween is an exciting time, especially for those who enjoy wearing costumes. However, things have changed considerably as far as what is considered acceptable when it comes to costumes. Many once-popular costumes have since fallen out of favor for being offensive or in bad taste.

If you’re planning on wearing a costume to work, you’ll want to be extra sure the one you choose is appropriate. This means generally avoiding any of the following types of costumes:

  • Costumes that are culturally insensitive: Native American, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc
  • Costumes that are insulting to certain body types, disabilities or appearances (fat suits, etc)
  • Costumes that are tight, revealing, or “sexy”
  • Costumes that have obscene or offensive language or subject matter
  • Costumes that are gory or overly scary
  • Costumes that make it difficult to move around, such as inflatable costumes or costumes with large accessories
  • Costumes with a mask that covers the whole face
  • Costumes involving religion or religious figures

We scoured the web to find costumes that would be super appropriate for work. These costumes are all work-friendly and allow for full visibility and mobility. And best of all, they’re easy! Some are just t-shirts or onesies, some are simply headpieces. There are plenty of full costumes as well. So if you’re in need of a costume for work, check out our list of 50 super appropriate adult Halloween costumes for work.
