This obviously happened yesterday.

We work at a middle school in one of the Nordic countries where there isn’t really a dress code. Both teachers and pupils wear pretty much whatever they want. Yesterday as it was Halloween a few pupils had some Halloween style accessories or tops on.

One of my colleagues had on a sweater that I had never noticed him wear before. It was a fleece-plaid monstrosity with a weird looking animal on the front. I sat down with him and asked him about his Halloween costume and he looked at me strangely and said it was just his sweater. I laughed a bit awkwardly and apologized before we just changed the subject and moved on.

I think we are still friends although I’ll be careful not to mention anything about his questionable fashion choices again.

TL;DR: Not all bad outfits are costumes, even on Halloween.
