Fashion-Forward Halloween Ideas

Fashion
3 min read

Halloween is fast approaching; a favourite time of year for those who love to disguise themselves.  Halloween is meant to be fun, and even if you’re past your candy-eating days, you can still regain a sense of childish wonder with the right costume.  My advice: go all out! Although it’s great to treat everyday as a day where you can where whatever you desire, Halloween is the one day where you won’t get eyebrows raised if you saunter into the room dressed as Jessica Rabbit or show up at someone’s door looking like Monroe (who wouldn’t give you candy?!).

This year, why not take a high-fashion approach to some classic, and not-so-classic favourites with the help of the following collection of ideas:
