It could well be the scariest Halloween costume of the year – a racy take on Bernie Sanders’ now-infamous outfit from Joe Biden’s inauguration.
According to the costume description, the look is meant for “you to be a viral internet meme! This political chairman costume comes with a grey coat, cozy mittens and a face mask for a total insta-worthy moment”.
The idea behind the costume came from the image of the 80-year-old Vermont senator’s outfit at the event in January.
Cut-outs of fans, including the viral photograph of Bernie Sanders wearing mittens, fill some of the seats to maintain social distancing at the Super Bowl
Memes and jokes based on his choice of clobber went viral at the time.
And e-girl site Dolls Kill is hoping their version – dubbed the “Trickz N’ Treatz Once Again Asking Costume Set – will have a similar impact for its wearers.
Judging by early opinions on Twitter it probably will.
‘It doesn’t even come with the chair’
“Why did they make Bernie as a hot got e-girl costume I’m wheezing,” one posted.
Another was less impressed, writing: “it doesn’t even come with the chair???? This is simply a coat.”
