Spooky season brings a series of fun events to dress up for, the main one of course being Oct. 31st. Do you know who you’re dressing up as yet?
For those that love fashion and enjoy the creativity (and compliments) of it all, Halloween is a big event — and a costume in a bag from Party City just won’t cut it. But there are plenty of looks you can DIY using things you already own that’ll definitely impress. (Or, if you have to buy a piece or two, hopefully it’ll be something functional that you can add to your regular rotation as well.)
Ahead, we shopped out 12 of this year’s best Halloween ideas for both couples and solo trick-or-treaters alike.
Jane Birkin
Although Jane Birkin had countless notable looks worth recreating over her lifetime, her semi-sheer LBD made history — so, honor the late actor, singer and style icon (who passed in July of this year) with a look that you’ll definitely wear again. Add a wicker basket (or an Hermès Birkin… or a dupe) to really complete the vibe.

“Quiet Luxury”
Few could have predicted the hold “quiet luxury” would have over fashion in 2023, fueled by Sofia Richie Grainge’s nuptials and Gwyneth Paltrow’s courtroom looks. But this is Halloween, so you want to have some fun with it: Layer on all your most luxurious pieces (whether they’re expensive or not), but tape your mouth to represent the “quiet.” An elevated ensemble speaks for itself anyway, right?
