Halloween pressures
Halloweekend is the one time a year when people put their morals aside and buy in large quantities from SHEIN. Halloween has its own set of rules, expectations and exceptions. If your costume alone is basic, it’s a no. But… if your group costume is basic, it’s cute. Take “Magic Mike” — alone, the outfit is questionable at best, with its dangerously high-cut briefs, precariously low neckties and snapbacks clinging on for dear life. But in a group, this costume becomes something perfectly balanced — a little bit funny, a little bit “Mean Girls” and a lot of ridiculousness. It’s magic, alright. The same goes for angels or devils. Alone, each is a little overplayed. However, with the right duo, it’s perfect. Nice fit for the friends, where one is a little too nice and the other is a little too real.
