Men Try on “Sexy” Halloween Costumes

This month, we’ve been talking a lot about Halloween costumes and the double standard that many of them impose. Why is it expected that women need to wear “sexy” costumes and not men? And why is it that the only costumes that many stores sell to women are sexy ones?

Buzzfeed decided to take these questions to a whole new level–by having men dress up in costumes that are usually reserved for women on Halloween night.

Their reactions are priceless.
