How to dress up for Halloween without wearing a costume

While for many of us, Halloween costumes is something we've been thinking about ever since the start of fall (spoiler: Tiger King-inspired looks will be a big thing this Halloween), for others, costumes are a big no-no. Luckily, you can also join in on Halloween without going all the way. With these fashion items, you'll look just as scary!

Black on black on black

If you want to keep it simple, black on black is always the solution. Intimidating, classy, yet a little scary. Go for a bat-inspired top, padded shoulders and a (faux) fur jacket for a chic Halloween look.

Leather

For a gothic-inspired look, invest in a leather piece like a leather jacket, shirt or dress. A full (faux-)leather outfit will immediately give you a matrix-chic look, while also being timeless pieces in daily life..
