Adult Costumes
For the purposes of this guide, "adult costumes" simply means "costumes for adults," although some of them might be more racy than others. There are so many categories and almost infinite possibilities for costumes -- don't feel limited by these choices, which are just a few of the most popular. Don't feel limited by gender, either -- Halloween is the time to bend the rules.
