THE DARK SIDE

As the spooky season creeps closer, the witching hour is upon us. For those who love to channel dark, moody colors, inspiration is everywhere – from the iconic looks of Wednesday’s cast to Holly Golightly’s timeless elegance in Breakfast at Tiffany's. You may be a whites or pastels girl but we’re here to give you a little nudge to embrace your dark side from time to time.

Here, we've gathered some dark-colored inspirations from classic films and pop culture. Gone are the days when dark hues are reserved for those who consider themselves emo or goths. These curated pieces can not only pass as costumes but can also serve as investment pieces that can carry you through your events all year round.

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.
