Halloween 2018: Office-Appropriate Costumes

Last minute inspiration that won't get you sent to the HR department

Express yourself, but don't dig your own grave. That's the name of the game when it comes to All Hallows' Eve in 2018. This year's festivities – placed squarely in the middle of the week – require a dose of PG-rated propriety, particularly when celebrating the spooky holiday with your skeleton staff and corporate leadership. 

Halloween is one of the few dates on the calendar that gives professionals a chance to swap out their suits for costumes of a different kind – something creative, hilarious, aspirational, vintage – the options are endless. But this holiday also serves as scary story of the horrors that can arise when mixing work and pleasure. 


HOW BIG IS THE BUSINESS OF HALLOWEEN?
