Classic Halloween Costumes With Black Dresses

The Classic Witch – Okay, not the most inventive costume, but certainly one of the chicest and simplest to pull off. Add a pointy black hat to a black lace dress, pointed black pumps, and, in place of a cauldron? A cute top-handle bag! I recommend the Dunya draped gown by SIR., the Raquel pointed crystal satin pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti and the bewitching V sling crystal-embellished bag by Valentino Garavani.

Holly Golightly – Meanwhile, forget the candy and apple bobbing, I’m all about Breakfast At Tiffany‘s. Possibly the chicest character to ever wear a black dress on screen, Audrey Hepburn’s Holly Golightly is my go-to dress-up style for spooky season. The checklist? Firstly, a structured black dress, like the Roanna sheath dress by Black Halo or the Miassa dress by Iro for a more traditional look. Secondly, a little black bag (Hint: the Chanel Matelasse 30 shoulder bag from Fwrd Renew is perfect and almost identical to Holly’s). And finally, classic black pumps, like the Marseille bow satin slingbacks by Kate Spade New York. Grab a pair of large black sunglasses, put your hair in a bun and you’re ready to party.
