The term refers to a particular type of matching or themed attire selected by female friends or acquaintances for celebratory events. Typically seen during the Halloween season, the ensemble often aims for a visual connection that symbolizes camaraderie and shared experience. The costume selection usually mirrors a specific aesthetic, concept, or character archetype.
The appeal of such a coordinated look lies in its ability to reinforce social bonds and visually express group identity. Historically, participation in costumed events has offered a unique opportunity to temporarily step outside of everyday social roles and explore alternative identities. Shared costuming further amplifies this experience, creating a sense of belonging and collective participation.
