You can, and you will. Why are you asking us?
Are you planning on trick-or-treating?

This started to be an annoying "trend". Groups of adults (without kids) going to wealthy neighborhoods (not even their own) and harassing homeowners, demanding threads.

Do whatever you want, especially if it’s for an adult Halloween Party. But don’t go trick or treating like that at night without kids, it could be hazardous to the rest of your existence.

Yes, people are going to think you are strange. Just how strange depends on whether or not you will be going out to an adult party or if you will be staying at home answering the door to hand out treats to young trick or treaters. In that Powerpuff outfit, one activity is safe for you while the other is not safe for you.

Keep in mind that times are changing, people's attitudes are changing and some are becoming more fearful and less tolerant of people who are behaving or dressing strangely or may seem to be posing a threat to children.

If you're going out to an adult Halloween party where everyone is in costume then your outfit will be innocuous but acceptable since the whole point of adult costume parties is to be looked at to see how creative you have been with your outfit. Your Blossom T-shirt won't be creative and it might seem a bit of a strange choice to people who don't know you well but it won't be seen as a threat to other adult party-goers, so you're good to go.

However, if you're planning to stay home to hand out treats to youngsters at the door then dressing as Blossom (or even as a pink fairy) may easily be perceived by their parents as a local neighbourhood threat towards their children. For your own personal future safety it would be safer for you to wear an adult oriented costume that is traditionally a bit spooky or mysterious and scary. That would be better rather than something that appears to make a declaration about your personal predilections that will have some parents thinking that you are a pedophile trying to impress or gain sympathy with their children.

Think about your own safety.

I think there is some misunderstanding here.

The Powerpuff Girls shirts are not for Halloween; that is what my Pink Time Force Ranger costume shirt is for.

The Powerpuff Girls shirts are not costume shirts; they are printed shirts featuring images of Powerpuff Girl Blossom. These are the two shirts (mine are pink):

As an update, I recently wore the first shirt at the supermarket and got a compliment from someone for it.

It's Halloween. Be what you want to be. Wear what you want. In fact, feel free to do it all 365 days of the year.

Doesn't it depend on where you live?

I was walking down the street in a hip neighborhood in Richmond VA today and saw a dude with facial hair in a dress. I did not look twice. I'm woke.

If I had seen the same guy in Fayetteville NC, I would have been surprised but I still wouldn't have looked twice because I'm polite.

Wear your powerpuff tshirt and wear it well!

We have a costume parade for kids here a couple days before Halloween and I've had adults, mostly younger 20/30 year olds, stop me on the street on in the Post Office, a couple even came to my house, to complain that they couldn't enter the costume judging.

And then, instead of the costume being for a party, they go around collecting candy on Halloween. Not with their personal children but on their own hook.
We had moved into a new house, in a new subdivision and had tons of trick or treaters, some of which had come from other neighborhoods.

At any rate, I opened the door to one trick or treater who had come to our house a little on the late side. Something about the "kid" made my skin crawl. I realized that the kid was not a teen but a grown woman in her 30's. It creeped me out.

Huge misunderstanding!

The OP is NOT talking about a Halloween costume! He is asking regarding everyday clothing.
