Page 6 | Teen sexy halloween costume for girls only

AIBU to think the whole sexy halloween costume for girls only is getting worse each year. I am not a prude honestly and there are bigger problems in the world I know but…. So many youngish (year 10-12) teens posting on social media dressed in push up basques, micro minis, micro shorts bare legs and pouting at the camera and worse. Then the boys all dressed in jeans t-shirts and normal costumes not a pout in sight. Don’t get me wrong women should wear what they want but it seems social media is dictating that girls should be more and more provocative and boys can just be boys. AIBU to think in 2025 this is pretty sad.

Oh, right - I misread. In that case I don't really see the issue.

It's very normal for mid-late teens to become conscious of their sexuality and to start exploring that a bit in the way they dress. I wouldn't worry about this. I think it's a bit odd to be fretting about girls of 16-17 having 'bare legs' and wearing mini-skirts tbh.

Show quote history

It wasn’t mini skirts, I said micro mini and micro shorts.

Micro mini shows everything, even the crease under the hip bones where pants would start and arse cheeks totally on show.

My concern was it was almost a uniform (as in not really free choice unless they all like exactly the same look) and the tongues stuck out for every pose.

15-16 year old girls wearing tiny skirts and skimpy tops isn't a new thing, nor is it exclusive to Halloween. I don't see why you can't just not look at them if it bothers you. If they're not your kids.

Agree. Drove past so many teeny tiny pairs of shorts out walking in the pouring rain this year. It’s the first time I’ve felt my age when I found myself pointing this out as I used to love a skimpy costume myself.

The shorts I saw were micro mini. So cheeks totally on show and i also saw a couple who had dollar bills stuffed in their bra/corset aka ‘gold digger’ chic.

isn’t it part of the same issue

Show quote history

Yes. That was my point. Teenage girls are sexualized daily because the current popular style of school uniform that most schools use is the one that has become practically fetishist and the "sexy schoolgirl" cliché.
I hate it.

Gofaster2023 · 04/11/2025 12:03

I was out in the town on Friday and I saw more arse cheeks than I cared too! All the teens were dressed up! I was borderline embarrassed for being so old and in jeans and a tshirt!

Not as young around here but I’d say 13/14+ girls wear the “sexy” Halloween outfits. But I also think it’s a maturity thing, rather than age. I’ve two DDs, one 17 and she dressed as a cowgirl for a party with a bit of blood. And a “young” 13 yo DD who dressed as a tellytubby with a gunshot wound to the head.

YEARS 10/12, not age 10/12. So mids teens.

@larpsadtime well most teenage girls are forced daily to dress in an outfit that's become a "naughty sexy girl" cliche.
(aka school uniform with their horrible short kilts and shirts that are too tight 🤢)

Big difference between a 16 to 17-year-old wearing a 'sexy' costume and what you said in your original post, in which you mentioned girls aged 10-12.

I don't think it would be especially reasonable to start telling late-teens - who are over the age of consent and perfectly entitled to do whatever they want with their own bodies - that they're being 'sexualised' if they wear a mini skirt or a corset top on Halloween.

When I was young enough to pull it off, I used to love a bit of sexy fancy dress

Not for teenagers.
At least the ones I know.
They are very into cosplay at events like comic con (amazing costumes both the boys and girls) but they don't dress up for Halloween.

Show quote history

Teen Halloween parties have been a Big Thing around here. My friend & her DH did an amazing job of decorating their house for their teen DD(15) & 50 friends.

they all had to be collected by parents at 11.30. A great night was had by all, no damage etc.

many of the girls were in 'sexy' outfits, as were we at that age. (40 years ago!!)

there's not really an equivalent for boys/men is there 🤷🏻‍♀️

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 04/11/2025 11:47

We went to a Halloween party a few years ago where one young woman was dressed as sexy Edward Scissorhands 😕

Two Year 7 girls came trick or treating to ours this year dressed as sexy pirates. It's concerning, they shouldn't feel like they need to do that.

It’s not just teens. Young girl dressing as cheerleaders covered in blood or brides covered in blood. They are too young to understand what the costume is suggesting and the violence against women it is portraying. They just want to be a cheerleader or bride or nurse with a Halloween theme. I hate seeing that type of costume.

This is definitely true - why wear the cheerleader or bride outfit to make the costume a representation of violence against women and girls? Imagine if they dressed up as a cat or dog covered in blood - that would be considered in very bad taste by most people...

No it was year 10-12, so slightly older than age 10.

Agreed.

But how many parents of 14 -17 year olds are actually checking their social media?
Hardly any I think.

Also some men just see 'sexy' even when there is no sexy present,,,

I wore an outfit to work for Halloween. I was asked by two separate men, if I was meant to be 'a sexy witch'. Apart from about half an inch more cleavage being visible than in my usual work uniform, I was covered neck to ankle. The men just wanted to be able to think of it as a 'sexy witch' outfit.

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 04/11/2025 11:36

I took the 7yr old out for Halloween and couldn't believe my eyes at the skimpy/sexy outfits young teens were wearing. What are the parents thinking😮
