What to Be This Halloween: 10 Costumes from the New Arrivals
The hardest part of Halloween isn't the costume — it's the decision. This week's intake of forty-nine new arrivals makes it easier: ten complete looks, assembled from pieces you can buy in one order. Every character below is shoppable right now.
1. The 80s Stage Icon
The Thriller — Red Leather Relic ($165) over black slim trousers, white socks, black loafers. The most recognized silhouette of the decade — no explanation required at the door.
2. The Victorian Mourner
The Veiled Widow — Mourning Gown ($145), a lace veil, and the expression of someone attending a funeral for a rival. For a daytime version: the Revival Victorian Gothic Dress ($95) with the Women's Vintage Gothic Victorian Skirt ($60).
3. The Coven Leader
The Baroque Ornate Witch Hat ($35) refuses to be subtle — pair it with the Witch-Vampire Skull Dress ($50) and lead the procession. Total look: $85.
4. The Vampire
The Vampire Demon Performance Stage Costume ($110) is the one-piece answer, with real presence under stage or party lights. Finish it with the Vampire's Plasma Vial ($35) on the bar.
5. The Demon
Two roads: the Horned Demon Wizard Cloak ($70) — maximum drama over anything black — or the Demon Cosplay Outfit ($120) for the full head-to-hoof commitment.
6. The Ghost
The Tattered Hooded Wraith Ghost Cape ($70) plus the Ghost Latex Mask ($35). The classic haunt, done properly — and the cape drags behind you like actual regret.
7. The Alien Visitor
The Alien Latex Horror Mask ($35) over a plain black hoodie. Cheapest conversation-stopper in the archive.
8. The Masquerade Ghost
The Seer's Veil — Lace Masquerade Mask ($52) or the Rose Half Face Masquerade Mask ($35), worn with Victorian layers. Half-hidden is more interesting — everyone tells the veiled one their secrets.
9. The Widow Spider
The Black Spider Death Dance Mask ($35) with the Skull Sun-and-Moon Dress ($55). For the one who wants the room's attention and knows what to do with it.
10. The Kid's First Haunt
The Kids Magic Clown Costume ($55) — the friendly kind of clown, promise. Party-ready, photo-ready, and sized for the small one who's been asking since September 1st.
The Budget Map
Under $75: the alien, the coven leader, the spider, the ghost. Under $150: the vampire, the demon, the masquerade, the kid. The statement pieces: the stage icon, the widow. Whichever you choose, order early — October rewards the decisive, and the popular sizes go first.
