Costume retailers love to sell outfits based on cultural stereotypes and current events and people think it’s fine to wear them. As a friendly reminder, there are some costumes that are always a bad idea, like anything that references a tragic event or makes fun of another culture.
But this year, there are some specific costumes you’ll want to avoid, unless you want to make everyone around you uncomfortable and possibly offended. So, skip these costumes this Halloween.
- Liam Payne or anything related to One Direction.
- Go ahead and stay away from any dead celebrity where the costume has something to do with their death.
- Definitely don’t dress up as Diddy, or anything related to his white parties.
- An IDF soldier costume is also a bad idea.
- So is a Putin costume or Kim Jong Un one.
- You’ll probably see some people dressed up as Donald Trump, but avoid anything related to his assassination attempt.
- Let’s expand that to not wearing any costumes of a crass or dead version of a politician.
- Skip anything related to immigrants, including that sexy border patrol agent get-up.
- Killers from horror movies are okay, but not actual serial killers, like Jeffrey Dahmer.
- Steer clear of sex offenders, so no Jeffrey Epstein, please. Especially dead Epstein.
- Dressing up as a school shooter or a school shooting victim isn’t advised.
- If you were thinking of wearing a crashed boeing jet costume, just don’t.

Scott's Thoughts:
- Just dress up as Raygun from the Olympics or an “Inside Out” emotion and you won’t offend anyone!
- Dress up as a radio DJ. Have a microphone, ball cap, and old dirty shirt and a pair of headphones.
- I am just handing out some candy. That's all. :)
