THE DARK SIDE
Yes, we know- it’s a classic, but for good reason! Recreating Holly Golightly's iconic little black dress is never a bad idea, so go for it! Whether it’s a date, an office party or a costume party, you can never go wrong. Bonus points if you carry a croissant around while trick-or-treating. Who knew Halloween can be so glamorous?
The ultimate goth girl, Lydia Deetz, is forever immortalized by Winona Rider’s dark, moody style. To deliver the same vibe for Halloween, a dark wardrobe would be of certain necessity, and you’ll fit in well at Neitherworld. Pair it with her iconic hat and Nikon camera, and you’ll be emulating her off-beat, goth-chic style right on point.
Want to keep things mysterious and embrace maximalism? Go for Sia’s red-carpet look and pay homage to this eccentric artist by pairing this blazer ensemble with an iconic eye-shielding wig and exaggerated ribbon headpiece. It’s a creative idea that’s all about embracing bold avant-garde style.
Who said witches have to be basic? Madison Montgomery and the witches of AHS Coven prove otherwise. Ditch the pointy witch hat and broom for a sleek dark top, hat, and some oversized sunnies. This is how a modern witch should look like in 2024-fierce, fashionable and far from ordinary.
Don't forget this cartoon classic! If you’re not one to wear a skimpy mini dress, try a knee-length number with the same sweetheart neckline for a modern take. Thick hoops, a black wig, and some perfectly drawn red lipstick will complete the look. Boop-Oop-a-Doop!
Wednesday has a penchant for dark monochrome looks. Though if you need a refresh from her all-black ensembles, why not add a bit of personality with something that has color but still on the dark spectrum? Easily recreate Wednesday’s look with an iconic crisp collar, a pair of Mary Jane shoes, and complete the look with two braided pigtails.
We've all been guilty of waiting until the last minute to plan a Halloween costume. But this year, don't let a bedsheet and some scissors be your fallback! Besides, it’s such as waste. These dark costume ideas are ideal for a practical woman who still wants to express her creativity this season. After all, just because you opt for less color does not mean you are settling for less style.
