Halloween Lingerie

• Pajamas that actually have pumpkins and ghouls in a pattern

• Overtly sexy outfits that people get to wear out in public without getting scoffed at too much because, after all, Halloween allows you to do things you wouldn’t normally do.

The pajamas with pumpkins, ghosts and ghouls usually have an orange and black theme and can be found anywhere that sells nightclothes. Wal-Mart, Target, Victoria's Secret, heck, even the dollar stores carry them around October.

The super sexy costumes that should be lingerie, yet find themselves on grown women out in public under street lamps and strobe lights can be found at adult toy stores that sell lingerie. They can also be found at shops specializing in costumes--in person or even better, online. Check eBay, too, as they often have quite a few Sexy Alice in Wonderland, Naughty Police Officer and Poison Ivy costumes in stock.

Halloween lingerie prices vary, depending on whether you're getting the comfy pajama type (you may find sleep shirts as low as five dollars) or the satiny sexy type with boning to make you look thinner and perfectly proportioned, and a neckline to make your decolletage to die for. Or entice a “vampire” to nibble on.

The Cozy Kind

It seems easier to find children’s Halloween sleep wear (though it wouldn’t really be considered lingerie at that age!). Check stores like Gymboree or eBay for deals. Adults can find Halloween lingerie (flannel pants or boxers and t-shirts meant for bedtime) but in most cases the search will be limited to eBay and bargain stores. Check out these Halloween boxers for men at Old Navy.

The Sexiest Halloween Lingerie

Just about any role play lingerie can be used as Halloween lingerie. Check out Lane Costumes, Lollipop Lingerie, Flirty Lingerie or Bathsheba69 (they even have men's costumes!) for inspiration--or just to purchase.

In some spots of Los Angeles, you're not winning a costume contest if your Halloween lingerie doesn't render you half naked. Lingerie is definitely the way to go if you want to up your sex appeal on the spookiest night of the year. Read more about that here in an LA nightlife report.

Here are a few naughty costume ideas:

• Any kind of schoolgirl type (Alice in Wonderland, Raggedy Ann, Catholic schoolgirl...the list goes on. If it requires a mini skirt, thigh highs and pigtails, chances are your Halloween lingerie will make blood pressure rise).

• Powerful women. This includes police officers, dominatrixes, cowgirls, and female superheroes. Let your confidence stand out; that's always a striking quality, whether you're wearing Halloween lingerie as a costume or not.

• French maid. Yes, the idea isn't new, but the old standby of the French maid costume is still very sexy.

See? You Can Keep It Around All Year

Although it may seem a little weird, you can keep Halloween lingerie around all year. It’s not just reserved for the end of October, though you will want to refrain from wearing it in public, of course. If it suits your fancy, wear your pumpkin sleep tee to curl up and watch your favorite movies in the middle of March. Did you go the sexy route? Well, nobody said you couldn’t dress up for certain boudoir activities. Let your imagination soar!
