It's no secret that when it comes to costumes, women get the short end of the stick. Almost all available costumes for women are a "sexy" something, whether that's a nun, fire fighter, girl scout or lady bug. Yes, because it's not enough to sexualize a seven-year-old, we also have to sexualize bugs. A few brave dudes decided to get in on the action. Some of them hated it, some of them loved it and some of them thought twice about the [gendered double-standard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women). All in all, a very entertaining video -- if you don't mind a little bit of hairy cleavage, that is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gender-bending Costumes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating a line of Halloween costumes that challenge traditional gender norms and provide more options for both men and women. - **Non-sexualized Costumes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing a range of Halloween costumes for women that are not overtly sexualized and provide more diverse options. - **Inclusive Costume Representation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing inclusive Halloween costumes that cater to a variety of body types and sizes, ensuring everyone can find a costume that fits and flatters. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with fashion designers and costume companies to create gender-neutral and body-inclusive Halloween costumes. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Producing cross-dressing Halloween videos that challenge societal norms and promote inclusivity. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partnering with brands to create ad campaigns that feature diverse and non-stereotypical representations of Halloween costumes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy Bowl Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trickortreatable-costume.md) - [Halloween Creamer Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-delight-2.md) - [Two-Person Halloween Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-mozz-costume.md) - [QSR Meme Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-chipotle.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Sweet-and-Salty Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes-and-cinnabon-costumes.md) - [Spooky Film-Inspired Halloween Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice-costumes.md) - [Humorous Menswear Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse.md) - [Satirical Feminist-Forward Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women.md)
