Halloween is wrapping up. Planning ahead for the holidays? Browse our Christmas Shop, read Gothic Christmas Gift Ideas, or see the Creepmas sweatshirts for a darker December.
Not every Halloween outfit needs a costume. Some of the best looks of the season are the quiet ones: a black crewneck with a skeleton hand and roses, a moth tee under a long coat, a witchy sweatshirt worn to the pumpkin patch. If you love the spooky season but would rather look like yourself than a store-bought character, gothic Halloween clothing is the answer.
Below are eight gothic Halloween outfit ideas built around pieces from our own collection, from party looks to cozy nights in. Every design is original Bamedys artwork in a vintage engraving style.
Halloween delivery: every piece is made to order and printed in the USA, and most US orders arrive in 7 to 8 business days. To have it in time for October 31, we recommend ordering by October 18. Shipping is free on every US order.
1. The Romantic Goth Halloween Party Look
Pair a black graphic crewneck with a velvet or satin skirt, sheer black tights and lace-up boots. Add a dark lipstick and silver jewelry and you are dressed for a party without wearing a costume at all.
Coffin and Roses Sweatshirt
From $40.99. A skeleton hand rising from a coffin wrapped in roses: the most romantic piece in our Halloween line.
2. Witchy Pumpkin Patch Outfit
For orchards, hayrides and pumpkin picking, go for warm layers: a witchy sweatshirt, high-waisted jeans, a wide-brim hat and ankle boots that can handle a little mud.
Witch Hat and Raven Sweatshirt
From $42.99. A witch hat, a raven and a stack of spell books, for anyone who keeps a cauldron on the stove.
3. Haunted Night Walk
Ghost tours and graveyard strolls call for something dark and comfortable. A tee under an open flannel or long black coat works for chilly October evenings.
Graveyard Ghost Tee
From $28.99. A lantern-carrying ghost wandering a graveyard under the full moon.
Howling Wolf Sweatshirt
From $38.99. A wolf howling at a blood moon with bats overhead, for anyone who comes alive after dark.
4. Celestial Witch
Moon phases and moths pair beautifully with layered necklaces, a long skirt or wide-leg trousers and a cardigan. This look works from October straight into winter.
Death Moth and Moon Phases Sweatshirt
From $40.99. A death's-head moth framed by the phases of the moon.
5. Halloween at the Office
If your workplace says yes to Halloween but no to full costumes, a tasteful graphic tee under a black blazer is the perfect compromise: festive, polished and still you.
Bat Mirror Tee
From $29.99. A bat over an antique mirror lit by candles, subtle enough for the office and spooky enough for the season.
6. Cozy Spooky Night In
Horror movie marathons and trick-or-treat duty at the door need something soft. Go oversized: size up in a crewneck and pair it with leggings and wool socks.
Skeleton Coffee Sweatshirt
From $40.99. A skeleton, a black cat and a pumpkin sharing a morning coffee.
Homebody Ghost Sweatshirt
From $43.99. For the introvert who would rather haunt their own sofa than a party.
7. Black Cat Lover
Black cats are the unofficial mascot of Halloween. Pair a cat graphic with black jeans and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses for an easy, playful look.
Black Cat Halloween Sweatshirt
From $45.99. A black cat with plenty of Halloween attitude.
See every feline design in For Cat Lovers.
8. Summer-to-Fall Goth Layering
Still warm where you live? Start with a tank top on its own and add a sheer black shirt or cropped cardigan as the evenings cool down.
Spider Web and Full Moon Tank Top
From $46.99. A spider web, bats and a full moon on a racerback crop top.
Styling Tips for a Gothic Halloween Outfit
- Stick to a dark base. Black, charcoal, deep burgundy and forest green let a graphic piece stand out.
- Add texture. Lace, velvet, leather and knit make simple outfits feel finished.
- Choose one statement piece. Let the sweatshirt or tee be the focus and keep the rest simple.
- Size for the look you want. Our crewnecks and tees are unisex: order your usual size for a classic fit or size up for an oversized look.
