Closet Costumes
From witches and cheerleaders to princesses and pirates, mastering the art of wearing an iconic Halloween costume is crucial. We at The Edge want to inspire you this season to create a striking look with items you might already have!
Skip the endless Halloween store lines and pull pieces from your closet. Putting together a personalized costume is easier than you think. We’ve put together a list of costumes you can style at home!
School Girl:
You know her, love her and might’ve been her. Dressing as a school girl is a perfect opportunity to channel your inner Mia Thermopolis from the “Princess Diaries” or your high school self. With button-downs being trendier than ever in summer 2022, there’s no doubt you probably have one hanging in your closet. Tuck it into a plaid skirt, add a headband, some socks, and sneakers and you’re back roaming the high school hallways.
Cheerleader:
Ah, the nostalgia of Friday night high school football. Like a school girl, you could’ve been a cheerleader, so let’s take a trip down memory lane. Pull out your old uniform or pair a pleated skirt with a crop top and you’ve recreated your old self. Bonus points for a bow! Don’t have an old uniform or pleated skirt? You can find an affordable cheerleader outfit on Amazon or in a Halloween store!
Witch:
Ok, it’s time to step things up a notch. Pull off the classic witch costume with the LBD hanging in your closet, and pair it with the legendary Urban Outfitters corset top. Decorating a hat with friends adds a personalized touch and doubles as a fun activity! You’ll be following Cardi B’s lead in seconds; it’s just that easy!
Paris Hilton:
Ready to add a celebrity spin on Halloween? Recreate Paris Hilton’s iconic Y2K look for a showstopping costume that will make you feel like a celebrity! Grab that sequin dress from your closet, pair it with a tiara and get ready to time travel to the early 2000’s!
We hope our costume guide gave you some last-minute inspo for creating a cost-efficient and effortless look! Happy styling and happy Halloween!
