Pick costumes to go with the Flo

Just about anything can be created and turned into a Halloween costume. This year, the most popular costume seems to be super heroes.

Since the movie was first shown in theaters, “Avengers” has inspired the super hero costume theme for this Halloween. Store employees at Spencer’s, Hot Topic and Spirit say that super heroes have been the big seller.

Not only are the characters from the movie popular but also characters like Batman, Robin, Superman and Cat Woman have been frequently asked for in stores.

These costumes can either look just like the ones on television, or the outfit can just contain the logo and the colors. For the guys, there are the logo embellished t-shirt and capes. For the ladies, there are the corsets and short skirts or hipster bottoms.

Other costumes great for Halloween are the pinup lady costumes. These vary from a school girl, a referee, a nurse and much more. The costumes usually consist of form-fitted dresses or a top and a skirt that resemble some type of uniform with knee highs and an accessory.

According to The Huffington Post, the Leg Avenue outfits are also popular this year. Some of these costumes include the daring demon, wicked wildcat, flight dress and high kick honey.

“I usually see a lot of Egyptian goddesses like Cleopatra and men with togas,” said Spencer’s employee Ron Bowman.

Even though there are the costumes that everyone is wearing, there are still those individuals who want to be different and do their own thing.

“I’m not sure what I want to be yet, but my ideas are hot sauce packet or some type of goddess,” said freshman Mariah Mitchell.

Being creative seems to never go out of style. Plus these costumes can be homemade and save people money.

“I want to be something funny like Flo from Progressive,” said Melissa Heaton,  freshman construction management major.

Ideas for this year’s Halloween costumes are ever abundant.

People can either go with what is popular now or something classic that never goes out of style.
