ALIEN: This look is super silvery and glowy- two things that I love. With my silver maxi dress and modern silver accessories, I was able to create my twist on a galactic character. I made sure to use shimmery eyeshadows, along with lots of highlight, a thicker wing on my eyes, and a natural lip to create a very dewy but extraterrestrial effect. Although not everyone may have a silver dress laying around in their closets, I wanted to show that you could easily turn anything in your wardrobe into a stylish halloween look. The dress and earrings are from Forever 21 and my necklace is from Asos. Compared to most costumes on Party City, this option is not only a lot cheaper and practical, but also super suitable for someone who likes to be stylish no matter what occasion.
BOXER: This look is a lot more edgier than the classy alien costume. However, it goes with a traditional Halloween theme of being dark and scary, while also not a clichéd costume like a witch or vampire. I paired a sports bra with Spandex and a black satin robe- pieces that are often common in a wardrobe. To enhance the outfit, I created a darker makeup look with a dramatic black eyeliner wing, brown-red eyeshadow, and a pop of color with my black cherry lipstick. My handcuff necklace from Asos also went quite well with the overall feel of this look. This is actually my costume for this year, so I’m super excited to wear it out.
Although these costume ideas may be more common than unique, I added my personal spin in order to get that individualized effect. Hopefully this post inspired you to create a Halloween costume that’s stylish, practical, and affordable (because you only wear it once a year), but also with influence from your personal style.
