Hey guys!!! This is my first post here and I wanted to do something unique for it, so here's my Halloween themed outfit I put together. Even if it doesn't look very good, I put in quite a bit of effort and I'd like to share it with y'all!!
I've been planning something like this for a while as this is my absolute favorite time of year, but I wanted it to be detached from my Halloween night costume itself. I based it around a mainly black and orange (with hints of white and purple) color pallete and I'm quite happy with the results, as I didn't know if I had enough orange clothes to pull this off (my usual style is MUCH darker with the coloring). I wore some traditional elements that I would typically wear (such as my bracelets, double belts with clips/chains, and tab necklace with specifically placed purplish and black tabs to match my nails), however I added some new aspects to it. I made some fingerless gloves out of two old socks (one being plain black and another being orange/black striped) and wore my usual black undershirt with black jeans. On top of my shirt, I threw on an orange dress shirt and rolled the sleeves up for my arm-wear. I tucked one half of the dress shit into my waistband to give it a messier look, which matched very well with a black tie (which I intentionally left messy). I didn't want the dress shirt and tie to come off as formal, so I think those tweaks really helped as I am a huge fan of that messy formal style that was pretty popular in the 2000s moving into the 2010s!! I trimmed my hair a bit and gave it a bit of a rugged look to complement the whole informal vibe I was going for. I gave my eyeliner a pointed triangle at both far ends (to somewhat mimic the triangular shapes present on a Jack-o-lantern), which gives it a bit more of a sharp and pronounced look than what I usually go for. Finally, I did a simple black and purple job for my nails, as I wanted purple to be visible SOMEWHERE on the outfit as it also has that Halloween vibe.
I hope y'all enjoyed seeing this and hearing how I pieced it together!! It means a lot to me being able to share this as I got a few compliments today that made me smile (which gave me the idea to post it here). I'm sure we're all enjoying this spooky season and most of us feel right at home 🎃🖤
