Wicked Haute Ideas

Turning the latest fashion trends into Haute Halloween costumes.

Thinking of how to take key pieces from this season's hottest trends and build a Halloween costume around it? The best part is that you get to wear these updated items long after Halloween is over. How fabulous is that?

  • Fringed ponchos are a great way to top off a Cowgirl or Indian Princess costume.
  • Black Maxi Dresses can be worn as Wicked Witch frocks or add lots of rhinestone jewelry and a touch of faux fur for a glamorous movie star look.
  • Ankle boots, skinny jeans and a leather jacket will make you rock star chic!
  • Pencil skirts, fitted cardigans or cropped blazers work well for a Mad Men or a classic, 40's Pin-up Girl ... don't forget your red lipstick.
  • 70's faded and flared jeans are a groovy way to go trick or treating as a haute hippie!
