While Halloween isn't normally thought of as a romantic holiday, the costume you select can really turn up the heat!

If you've been browsing the racks of costumes and keep coming back to the sexier selections, but aren't sure if you can pull it off, check out these 3 tips for picking a sexy costume.

After surveying men on their picks for sexy Halloween costumes, we put together the top 10 picks (plus 2 bonus costumes) to help you this Halloween:

1. Witch
   Cast spells on your date as a spellbindingly sexy witch. Anything but traditional is key with this costume. Skip the long black dress, unless it's slinky and sexy, and instead brew up some love (or lust?) with a sexy mini.
   
   Make it yourself: A simple, but sexy short black dress is key. You may want to consider black thigh highs and sexy black heels as well. Add a witch hat and carry a broom and you're ready to cast your spell.
   
   
2. French Maid
   This popular costume is sizzling hot! If you're looking to pick up a pre-made version, there are several different styles to choose from in several different levels of sexiness. Keep it short and carry your feather duster. You'll be tickling his fancy all night long.
   
   Make it yourself: A sexy black mini topped with a small white apron, white thigh high stockings, a sexy pair of heels, and a feather duster.
   
   
3. Police Officer
   He stole your heart, now it's your turn to put him behind bars. This sexy get-up, paired with handcuffs, will have his mind racing all night long.
   
   Make it yourself: Go with a mini dress or sexy, tight shorts in navy or black. Add a badge and the key accessory, handcuffs.
   
   

4. Angel / Devil
   This super sexy angel costume is heavenly enough to bring the boys to their knees. Featuring feathered angel wings, and angelic halo, and a super sexy, super short dress, you'll light up the room.
   
   Make it yourself: A sexy white dress with white thigh high stockings, angel wings, and a halo. You can purchase pre-made angel wings and a halo at any store that sells Halloween costumes, but you can make it yourself by gluing feathers, cotton balls, or fluffy fabrics on cardboard cut-outs.
   
   Sinfully sexy, this devilish costume will have him begging for mercy. From the sexy thigh high leather boots to the garter to the super short dresss, you're sure to steal his heart and soul.
   
   Make it yourself: Get a super short black or red dress, thigh high stockings with garter, thigh high leather boots (optional) and a devil headband.
   
   
5. Nurse
   Give your patient a fever this halloween! One of the more popular costumes of the naughty-but-nice genre, it's beter to go traditional, but short with this one. Get the sexy dress, thigh-highs, sexy heels, and a stethoscope. Pass on the leather when it comes to this get-up. It's sexy, but when it comes to this costume, playing it more traditional tends to be a little sexier.
   
   Make it yourself: Pair a sexy, but more office-like dress with a stethoscope and you're good to go. Add more optional, but sexy accessories as your choose.
6. 1920's Flapper
   Get a short black dress with fringe, plunging neckline, a feather headband, and sexy black heels and you'll be roaring back to the 1920's looking hot as can be.
   
   Make it yourself: Find a slinky, sexy black dress with fringe, add several long, beaded necklaces, a 20's era headband, and sexy black heels. This super hot get-up is one of the easier do-it-yourself projects when it comes to sexy halloween costumes.
   
   
7. Sports Star
   This Halloween, the game is on. Athletic equals sexy. While most go with the traditional cheerleader costume, we found two more sexy options sure to score big with your date: sexy linebacker and sexy ref! The sexy linebacker, with the snug fitting shorts and jersey, will keep his imagination running plays all night long, guaranteeing a tackle and touchdown in the bedroom later! The sexy ref costume, with the sexy short dress and whistle blowing aceessories, will keep you calling the plays all ngiht long.
   
   Make it yourself: To create the sexy linebacker costume, get a pair of tight boy shorts or workout shorts, a cropped jersey (knot it in the back to make it tighter), paint black stripes under your eyes, and carry a football. To create the sexy referee costume, get a black and white stripped dress (the shorter, the better!) with a plunging neckline, put your hair up, and carry a whistle around your neck. If you can't find a dress, try a black and white striped shirt with a super short black skirt.
   
   
8. Pirate Wench
   Aye Matey! What's sexier than a gold-stealing, sword-fighting pirate wench? You'll have the men shouting "shiver me timbers" when you walk in the room.
   
   Make it yourself: Pick up a corset and super short skirt in either red or black. Add super sexy, lacy thigh highs, an eye patch, and a fake dagger and you're ready to set sail.
   
   
9. Hula Dancer
   Swing your hips and pull him in. Every man dreams of getting lei-ed by a sexy polynesian girl. This sexy costume includes a grass skirt, bikini top, and floral lei.
   
   Make it yourself: It's probably easier to go ahead and purchase the skirt, but you can easily add a bikini top and a lei from a party store.
   
   
10. Head of the Class
    Send him back to school in this sexy school girl costume. There's something about that 'barely legal' costume that gets them going. This cute costume features a sexy and short school girl plaid skirt and matching tie. He'll be begging to teach you something before the night is over.
    
    Make it yourself: A cute, super short plaid skirt and a snug white shirt or corset are the key elements here. Thigh highs with sexy heels or mary janes are a plus.
    
    

If the top 10 didn't light your fire, check out these two bonus costumes:

1. Alice in Wonderland
   Have you ever wondered what made the Mad Hatter so crazy? It was Alice's get-up! This sexy costume features a shorter-than-short dress with attached petticoat, thigh-highs, choker, and headband with bow. You'll send your date to fantasy land when you arrive.
   
   Make it yourself: Get yourself a cute, but sexy light blue dress with a small white apron. Add some white thigh high stockings and black mary janes to complete the look.
   
   
2. Playboy Bunny
   What's sexier than the traditional playboy bunny for Halloween?!?! The costume itself is simple, but super sexy because of the tradition and brand behind it. If you want to go as a bunny, we'd recommend purchasing the costume as this one's a little difficult to make yourself.
