From Black Bows to Velvet Minis: The Feminine Halloween Outfit Ideas That Aren’t Costumes
Halloween is usually about squeezing into polyester costumes you’ll never wear again (and regretting them the next day when tagged photos hit Instagram). But what if October 31 didn’t require a Spirit Halloween run?

This year, we’re trading cat ears and glitter tights for something infinitely chicer: outfits that flirt with the spirit of spooky season without crossing into costume territory. Think black velvet, delicate lace, and bows that whisper Wednesday Addams rather than scream Party City. Wear them to the office, to girls’ happy hour, and to that party you “weren’t sure you’d make,” looking effortlessly on-theme—no mood board, no rent-sized price tag. Pieces you’ll rewear long after the candy’s gone.
