We’ve gotten a few questions inquiring about office Halloween parties (some poor soul out there is being required by her team to dress as Peggy from Mad Men!) and I thought I’d start an open thread… have you ever dressed up for Halloween at the office? Have you ever attended a Halloween party that was primarily co-workers — and if so, did it factor in to what to wear?
For my $.02… I would advise against wearing slutty costumes (or, if you do, avoid uploading them to Facebook!), as well as overly political things, or interactive costumes (e.g., anything involving a squirt gun), or even overly silly/childish things (e.g., dressing up as a character from a book or show that is known for being enjoyed by anyone under 18). In other words: Halloween is really, really hard to do right at the office. But maybe I’m wrong… ladies?
