Sooner Fashionista Freaky, Fantastic Fallowe’en Fiesta is Here!
Bon Jour, mon ami! It’s once again that time of year! When the air turns crisp, the leaves turn colorful and fall fashion is in the air. It’s too bad that it also coincides with one of the worst dressed times of the year.
I, of course, mean Halloween and the silly ideas people come up with. For example, painting yourself yellow and holding your hands up and going as a goal post may seem tempting, but what happens when the home town boys win?
Heaven forbid the unthinkable happens and hundreds of inebriated college students tackle you, pick you up, carry you to Lake Thunderbird and throw you in. Let’s be more creative and stylish, shall we?
With that being said, let’s discuss some of the top costumes of 2025 and how to pull them off with flair.
The legendary Scarecrow. From Wizard of Oz to Batman, the scarecrow is found in many forms. However, it doesn’t have to be dirty and worn with crows dipping and cawing around a smelly, hay ridden body.
How about a stylish three-piece suit, stuffed with cash (even the faux bills will do) topped with a timeless fedora? And we’ve no need for dirty birds. Find a flamingo to follow you about and make sure you feed it plenty of carotenoid rich shrimp to keep the color nice and flaming hot pink.
The ever popular pirate. Please, please, please, ladies, do not don fishnet hose and go as the “Sexy Pirate”. This is trashy and historically inaccurate.
Basically “sexy” anything is a no go. From Nun to Nurse, from Demon to Jesus, I’ve seen “Sexy” everything. Instead, buy a fashionable long coat and drip yourself with jewels, rings and feathers. Trust me! This version will get you much more candy come the big day.
Clowns, clowns, clowns! They can be found everywhere in every shape and size. But let’s find the silliest, most un-elegant get up we can find.
The worst color of course would be orange. Let’s dress him completely in this shade. Also, instead of goofy hair, let’s give him a receding hairline, a pudgy dad bod and ridiculous facial hair. Perfect! I believe he’s almost ready to go.
All he needs now is a double chin and an orange hat with a giant “T” on it for Traitor-clown and we have our costume. This has to be my favorite!
So until next time, my ghoulies and ghosties, have the happiest of Halloween holidays!
Ciao,
Your Sooner Fashionista
