Halloween, But Haute Couture
‍
Couture Coven
‍
Ever since I saw Carolyn Roehm’s haute couture witch costume in Passion for Parties—a book I absolutely pored over page by page—I’ve been obsessed with recreating her look.
‍
Witchy vibes, but make them fashion?
A good excuse to dress up?
CbC is in, of course.
‍
Channel the Salem style with a black tulle skirt—mine is Elizabeth & James (may she rest in peace; IFKYK)—a black cashmere knit à la Naked Cashmere’s Noelle, long black opera gloves (oh, how I adore opera gloves—be they leather or silk), and a black pointy heel. YSL fits the bill nicely.
‍
The burgundy? A perfect hit of contrast while keeping your outfit well within witchy-coded luxury.
‍
Coven couture.
Put that in your cauldron and smoke it.
Witch’s hat? Optional.
‍
Riding on the Range
‍
Western is having its moment in the sun—and what better time to saddle up than Halloween?
‍
YSL’s pussy-bow plaid blouse is the perfect rev for your ride.
Pin Joanna Ortiz’s horse brooch on your lapel, and all you need is the horse—Trigger, of course.
‍
And an excuse to buy that Kemo Sabe hat and Isabel Marant cowboy boot?
Yes, please.
Pair with Re/Done’s divine suede fringe jacket—giddy up.
Finish the look with Ralph Lauren’s fringed blanket skirt or Citizens of Humanity’s Horseshoe Jean.
‍
Ride ’em, cowboy.
‍
Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear
‍
This October, wrap yourself in Skims’ soft brown pajama set—you know you wanted them anyway.
Top them off with Max Mara’s Teddy coat, and add a furry boot—you too will be un-bear-ably chic.
‍
Commit to the look with fuzzy bear ears and grab Jay Strongwater’s Honey Beehive box on your way out the lair.
‍
You glamorous grizzly—go take a bite out of Halloween.
Chomp!
‍
And the best part?
‍
Each of these looks is composed of timeless fashion staples you’ll reach for again and again, well past October 31.
‍
And unlike candy? These beauties are calorie-free.
