So says Jay McCarthy co-founder of Hipwear.
This year, the most popular Halloween costumes for women have a sexy theme. Hipwear.com and the Hipwear clothing store in San Jose, California have seen an increase in sales, over this time last year, for sexy costumes including the sexy nurse costume, fire-woman, and police woman costumes, as well as the sexy fraulein girl, and naughty angel costumes. …
So what is fueling the Halloween glamour boom? “The short answer is the media,” says McCarthy. “Women, especially young women are being bombarded with images of fit, trim and sexy women such as Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton. I believe a lot of young women who dress conservative most of the year, use Halloween as an escape to be someone they normally wouldn’t be. For many women, that alter-ego is someone who is wild and sexy.”
“Last year, the hottest Halloween costume we sold was Tinkerbell,” said Hipwear co-founder Jacqueline McCarthy. “It was so, hot, that we ran out of the Tinkerbell costume by mid-October. This year, we have increased the number of costume suppliers, and have more than doubled our inventory of costumes so that we have less of a chance of running out of any of our costumes.”
