For
college students, Halloween always seems to be rather anticlimactic. With
countless Thursday evenings spent dressing up in absurd outfits ranging from
sailors to chicken costumes, Halloween is just another costume. Luckily, the
costume excitement is somehow maintained by the basic girls on campus. You know
who I’m
talking about. The rain boots, leggings and spirit jersey girl. We’ve all been this girl and although
some of us decide to kick it up a notch for Halloween and wear a costume that
really “wows,” there will be plenty of sexy cats
and sailors to go around. For the most basic of holidays, here are the top
three reasons why basic girls love Halloween.
1. Basic Costumes
Halloween provides the ultimate freedom of choice when it comes to the costume. Girls aren’t constrained by awful exchange themes like all denim or '80s workout. It’s the perfect time to get creative or be really really basic. Sometimes great costume ideas develop, but the actual execution of the costume prevents the ultimate success. Sure dressing up as "50 Shades of Grey" covered in multi-shade grey paint swatches sounds awesome, but too time consuming. Of course, being a bottle service babe, rockin’the peplum dress like Kimmy K, is appealing, but usually too much work. That’s why the go-to sexy kitty costume or the naughty nurse, or police officer, or workout girl are everywhere. They’re easy. We’re basic. Sorry.2. Matching
Girls love any situation where they can all match. Body-con dresses for impromptu? Yes. Groufit sisterhood bar crawl? Yes. It might be basic, but at least it’s a group effort. Halloween provides the perfect opportunity for endless matching. Not only can everyone wear the same shiny silver dress and tape an Absolut logo on their stomach, but group costumes like the cheetah girls and power girls are fair game too. Basic x100 (or how ever many girls are in on the costume).3. Showin’Off
Although people will most likely still make comments on promiscuous costumes, Halloween provides the opportunity to show off a little more skin than usual. Halloween is like pre-Spring Break. Somehow all the girls have been able to maintain their fall fitness routine and now they can show off their hot bods. Breaking out the mermaid costume to show off the full tummy or the naughty school girl to showcase perfectly toned legs from squatting, Halloween is the time.
We’re all basic at some point during Halloween. Maybe you’re the girl drinking way too many whiskey cokes at the pre-game. You might be the super sexy nurse showing too much leg and too much cleavage. You might be the most basic of all dressed as a tiger with all fifteen of sorority sisters, but don’t worry. We’re all basic sometimes. Some girls more than others. Spirit jersey rain boot girl, I’m talking to you. So let the countdown begin basics, Halloween is waiting for you.
