Whether you like it or not, all Halloween costumes fall into three main categories: #1. Yes, I bought it 10 years ago and I don’t mind trending. #2. No, this outfit isn’t very noticeable. #3. Yes, I pay too much attention to Halloween costumes, no, I don’t think I’m hyper-focused. However, not many people know the fact that there is a fourth secret category called “I’m wearing a Halloween costume.”
For some people (especially for us who have been waiting for impatience for the past 12 months), Halloween costumes are second skin, and October 31st is the only day they can feel like they are. So today’s blog post is dedicated to all creatures who steal shows rather than trendy Halloween costumes that will be forgotten tomorrow, rather than to all creatures who steal shows in an aesthetic lifestyle. I can’t wait anymore, so let’s get started!
#1. fairy
Let’s start with my favorites: Fairycore! This light and whimsical aesthetic embraces everything that blooms in nature. Think of a flowing ethereal dress, delicate wings, and intricate flower crowns. Halloween fairy costumes range from vibrant, magical creatures in the forest to darker, more mysterious, darker fairies (maybe something from the dark film The Watchers?).
Key factors: pastel or rustic colors, light fabrics, sparkles, pointed ears, and of course wings.
#2. Mermaid
Mermaid aesthetics are about celebrating the beauty of the ocean, and Halloween parties will be your helper here. The outfit should combine sparkling, scale-like patterns with flowing, elegant silhouettes. You can become a classic mermaid with a top of the shell and a fine skirt, or a more mysterious siren with dark colours and dramatic makeup. Pointy ears also work!
Key elements: rainbow fabric, sequin scales, shell accessories, long, flowing hair, a sea-inspired touch of makeup.
#3. Femme Fatal
It guides your inner mysterious and charming characters. The aesthetics of femme fatale nods to classic Hollywood and film noirs, focusing on the seductive and powerful appearance. It’s something that’s on the brink of a dark, feminine vibe, and there’s a little more class to the mood.
Key factors: Form-fit black dress, sharp blazer, red lipstick, dramatic eyeliner, high heels. Think classic spies and unning movie villains.
#4. Cocket
Who doesn’t feel like a coquette at times? If you want to follow the classic Girly Halloween formula, you’ll find yourself here. Think of it as a blend of sweetness and steamy charm. It’s playful, frivolous, and effortlessly feminine.
Key factors: lace, bow, ribbon, ruffled socks, soft pastel colors. A simple yet chic dress with delicate accessories completes the look.
#5. Goblicore
Goblin Core celebrates a part of nature that is often overlooked. Unusual, nasty, and most of the time, what is considered ugly. Your goblinco outfit needs more details than about charm, but rather being part of the natural, somewhat messy world of the forest.
Key Factor: As part of a nature-based aesthetic, Goblin Call loves earth tones, layered clothing, moss, mushrooms and frog motifs. Think foraging bags, thick boots, and an overall rustic and slightly distorted look.
#6. Like a dream
Dreamy aesthetics (which can be paired with Dreamcore) are about touches of softness, surreality, and sad nostalgia. This will be more than just a Halloween outfit. It will be in full-on character mode.
Key factors: thin fabric, stars, moon or cloud print, muted, etheric color palette. Light-up dresses and simple tutus can create beautiful, dreamy effects.
#7. All pastels
This aesthetic is exactly how it sounds. It’s a celebration with soft and calm colors. Just rethink it with a pastel palette and you can become a pastel witch, fairy, or a character of your choice. You can combine all the hilarious accessories you’ve collected over the years.
Important factors: lavender, baby blue, mint green, pale pink. Think of a single-color outfit or a mix of some soft shades.
#8. vampire
True Halloween classic. The aesthetics of vampire is about hints of dark elegance and danger. This look is dramatic, mysterious and effortlessly cool. With a trench coat, crocheted mittens and hats, you can choose the more classic Victorian goth look, or get closer with a modern goth atmosphere that brings you closer to this Halloween.
Important elements: dark colors such as black, dark red, burgundy, cape, false fangs, deep red lip smoky eyes.
#9. Cyperpunk
Halloween may not be the most appropriate time for cyberpunk aesthetics, but who cares? You can always step into the future world of technology. This look combines high-tech elements with a rough, slightly dirty urban vibe. This costume is perfect for those who love sci-fi and sophisticated futuristic look.
Key elements: future accessories such as neon lights, bold colors, metallic fabrics, leather, goggles and headpieces. Think of a blade runner, a fifth element, or a matrix.
#10. Earth Core
Earthcore is another grounding, nature-based aesthetic that celebrates the raw beauty of our planets. This look is rustic and organic, with a focus on natural textures and materials.
Important elements: deep green, brown and other rustic colors. Think of natural fabrics such as dried flowers, tree branches, leaves, linen and cotton. Simple, nature-inspired outfits are beautiful and comfortable.
Conclusion…
So, what do you think about this little Halloween edit? Even if you’re not planning on dressing up like a fairy or wearing a mermaid core outfit, try creating something a little more normal and original for your upcoming Halloween party. The style and aesthetic you are aiming for is really not important as long as you stay happy and stylish.
