A Scary Amount of Style
We get it—not everyone likes dressing up in costumes. The whole shebang seems a little outdated, and to make matters worse, you’re often criticized as being a party-pooper if you don’t dress up like a vampire. Well, you can kiss those days goodbye! We rounded up a few stylish outfits that not only keep you on theme, but also exorcise the campiness.
1. Black Midi Dress
There’s no reason to sacrifice your style during spooky season. Why not ring in the ghouls and goblins with a sleek black midi dress, one you can accessorize with any number of haunted earrings, ghost brooches, or a simple printed cardigan?
2. Pumpkin Face T-Shirt
As a guy, you probably don’t want to go all out for the season. That’s okay—you can still rock a cool ‘fit without spending a paycheck in Spirit Halloween! A simple pair of jeans paired with a pumpkin face t-shirt keeps you in the spirit without going overboard.
3. Leaf Printed Skirt
Not everyone wants to spring for a spooky skirt or a ghost-printed sweater. Luckily, you don’t need to! A stylish leaf print will not only keep you on par with every partygoer, but it’ll also match those autumnal aesthetics we aren’t ready to say goodbye to yet.
4. Black and Orange Stripes
Come Halloween, it’s not hard to find a fashionable striped sweater. You can either choose between the colors or merge them for the ultimate nod to Halloween! They’re not all made equally, either, allowing you to play with stripe width and build an essential fall ‘fit.
5. Witch Earrings
Okay, so this one isn’t technically an outfit, but we couldn’t forget to mention witch earrings! These little guys come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, letting you get as creepy or as cute as you want. It doesn’t matter which outfit you accessorize; they’re the best companion.

6. Classic Denim and Black Tee
Look, it’s Halloween, and that means any orange or black will do! If you really didn’t have time to shop for a costume—or just didn’t want one—you can always rock a pair of classic jeans and a plain black tee. It’s a timeless look that looks good on anyone and also fits your theme.
7. Leggings and Orange Sweater
Leggings are still considered a polarizing choice, but we love comfortable pants! And with comfy pants comes an equally comfortable sweater. Orange sweater dresses or oversized printed jumpers let you pay homage to Halloween, all while rocking your personal style.
8. Printed Hoodie
Don’t worry, fellas—you have just as many options for cool sweaters! Halloween often brings all sorts of awesome designs, allowing you to strut your stuff in a Ghost Face hoodie or one printed with bats. Some even have movie stills from your favorite flick.
9. Orange Dress and Knee-High Boots
If you’re going to saunter in style, you might as well kick it into high gear. An everyday orange dress gets the boost it needs with sultry black boots. You’re in the season’s colors, but you’re also showing off your physique!
10. Slacks and Ringer T-Shirt
People don’t give Ringer tees enough credit. They boast a classic style, sure, but they also have some of the funniest, retro designs that pay homage to beloved horror stories (particularly Steven Rhodes’ designs). Pick your poison: kids carving pumpkins—with one looming in the background—or a happy-go-lucky gaggle of kids summoning demons.
11. Cat Print Sweater
Call us a “crazy cat lady” all you want; we’re feline fine in these adorable printed sweaters. This popular design is found on cardigans and jumpers alike, allowing you to pair them with leggings, jeans, or even a cute dress.
12. Funny T-Shirts and Classic Jeans
Okay, maybe Ringer tees aren’t your thing. No problem—you can always opt for a succinct “Worst Costume Ever” t-shirt! Paired with traditional slacks or loose-fitted denim, this everyday tee keeps you comfortable but also in style.
13. Printed Sweater Dress and Sequin Leggings
It’s sometimes hard to work a bit of sparkle into your outfit. Not anymore! Sequin leggings make a terrific partner for printed sweater dresses; you can get as campy as you want or dress down for optimal style. Either way, you’ll have an amazing outfit.
14. Trousers and Halloween Print Button-Down
The summer heat may be long gone, but our love for printed button-downs remains. With that love comes our endless fascination with candy corn shirts, bat prints, or even pumpkins and moons. Paired with trousers, it’s a look that can’t be beat.
15. Wide-Leg Jeans and Sheer Top
There’s nothing like a little contrast to get heads spinning! Wide-leg jeans keep you nice and comfortable, while a sheer top shows off your curves. Some tops come printed with moons or ghosts as well, allowing you to really dive into the season.
16. Slacks and a Leather Jacket
Hey there, Joe Cool. No one’s ever rolled their eyes at this beloved pair, and it’s one we’d recommend any time of year! Slacks, a black tee, and a leather jacket give you that sought-after edge—one that fits perfectly into Halloween.
17. Black Dress With Skeleton Knee-High Socks
Sometimes, the simplest accessories give you the spookiest vibes. Case and point: skeleton knee-high socks can turn any black dress into the cutest Halloween outfit! Remember: witch earrings, ghost-printed sweaters, and pumpkin brooches only add to the aura.
18. Orange Blazer and Black Slacks
We know what you’re thinking: that combo sounds a little gimmicky, doesn’t it? Well, we’re not talking about a neon blazer! Many blazers have the softest hues, which help you look red carpet ready, not like a Disney movie extra.
19. Tulle Skirt With a Leather Jacket
There’s nothing better than pairing a feminine skirt with an edgy jacket. Many of these skirts come with printed tulle atop a black base, letting you display anything from moons to ghosts. That leather jacket only provides a polished appeal that keeps you nice and warm.
20. Jeans and Black Bomber Jacket
We may have covered leather jackets for men, but those are hardly your only option! Bomber jackets have just as much iconic edge. They’re also nice and versatile, pairing with casual denim or even perfectly complementing chinos.
