I guess it depends on where you work or perhaps what sector you work in. Where I work, I have never seen anyone dress up risque or inappropriately. We have a celebration where workers bring their children to come get treats, so it’s fun to dress up and play along.

I never go all out and buy expensive costumes. I either make my own or find something in my closet that I can use or manipulate into a costume. That makes it fun, unique and cost-efficient.

Halloween should have no place in the workplace.

It’s used an an excuse to look stupid and it is a distraction more than anything.

Women (and men sometimes) come to work looking risque.

both genders have someone who wears an inappropriate costume.

it is an HR nightmare and should have no business at work.

if you want to dress up after work, whatever, do your thing.

but keep it away from the office.
