Sexy Halloween Costumes for Women

What Makes a Costume Sexy

What makes a costume sexy is largely a matter of personal taste, but there are a couple of features that clearly scream sex appeal in costumes.

The feature that would probably be rated number one for sexy Halloween costumes is showing a bit of skin. Plunging necklines, bare midriffs, and short skirts that show lots of leg are the model for most flirtatious costumes.

Form-fitting costumes are also rated high in terms of appeal. Closely fitting suits, skirts, and tops can be very sexy even if they don't reveal a lot of skin. This great news for ladies who want to look attractive without wearing something too revealing. Even if you don't have the perfect body, fitted costumes tend to be more flattering than baggy, shapeless ensembles.

Make-Up, Accessories, and Shoes

To spice up your costume even more, accentuate your face with smoky eye makeup, false eyelashes' or deep lipstick colors for a sultry look. If your costume is elaborate or very detailed, you may want to skip accessories. If your costume is relatively simple, however, chokers, long necklaces, dangling earrings, anklets, and hair jewels can be very alluring.

Long hair adds instant sex appeal, so clip in a few fake hair extensions or put on a wig to add instant intrigue to your look. Shoes can also be sensual -- think spiked heels and thigh-high boots. Add a pair of sexy stockings like fishnets or thigh-highs, and you're set.

The Comfort Factor

Nothing innocent about this fairy!

If you're attending a Halloween or costume party in your steamy ensemble, it's important to anticipate how well your costume will work. If there's a lot of dancing and your costume is very skimpy, you may end up revealing more than you intended.

No matter how cute and sexy a costume is, if it's too tight, itchy, awkward, or otherwise uncomfortable, you may end up wishing you had gone as Suzy Sweatpants instead of Provocative Polly. Your best bet is to try on your costume before hand, including the shoes you'll wear, and move around, sit, and stand in it to make sure your costume will work out.
