Halloween brings out the fantastical in all of us. As we get a little older, however, many of us are looking to turn in the tutus and zombie masks for something a little more sophisticated - and a little easier to pull together after a hectic week of being a real live grownup. A simple solution? Fab costumes comprised of real world garments you’ll be able to put together for Halloween, then wear the rest of the season.
Girl Gangs
Nothing is more in for ’15 than a #squad. Certified 90s girl? Pick up some knee or thigh high stockings and a plaid mini for an on-point, Clueless-inspired look. Graphic baby tees and a flouncy mini makes for a perfect “Plastic” look, straight out of Mean Girls. Taylor Swift’s gang has a style icon for just about everyone - even your best guy friend can join in. Think crop tops, shimmering sheaths, and sky-high heels.
Chic 70s
Whether channeling your inner hippie or disco diva, your favorite store is loaded up with party ready 70s-inspired looks. A suede skirt or flared jeans paired with a floral or crochet top celebrate the original boho babe. For the girl looking to turn heads at a glam bash, think Studio 54 slink with a draped jersey gown or a glittering mini and the biggest hair you can muster.
Into The Woods
Bring iconic storybook characters to life this Halloween. Everyone knows Little Red Riding Hood, and when it comes to creating a costume, her name says it all. Find a red cape with a hood, create a basket of goodies, and complete the look with a red lip. Just don’t be fooled by any wandering wolves.
Halloween’s coming, ladies. Get out there and slay.
