From Gothic glamour and zombie bride, to corpse cowgirl and orange pumpkin; the fall catwalks have spoken to give Halloween a high-fashion makeover. While you can’t beat scouring your fave thrift and novelty stores in search of American made costumes, this October we’re focusing on editorial-worthy costume ideas: think more Morticia Addams and Frankenstein’s Bride rather than bin bags and plastic witch hats.

Yes, there’s a cauldron-full of spooky style-spiration to help steer your American made costumes over to the dark side ready for October 31st. So if you’re on the hunt for some ‘basic witch’ closet staples to reinvent your Halloween look this year, look no further than this spooky selection from Bullet Blues…
The 21st Century Witch
The Look: There’s plenty of ways to channel this Gothic glam look, but pulling it off is a different story altogether. If you’re never without your black cat and broomstick, you’re already on your way to becoming a queen of the night.

The Key Piece to Own: Our ‘Mathilde’ sleeveless little black dress is as sultry as American made costumes come! This look is witch meets vampire, so dare to be as bold as you like on the makeup front. Paint lips and nails crimson red (with glitter topcoat if you love to sparkle by candlelight) and vamp up the witch factor with fishnets and 6-inch spike stilettos for an extreme footwear choice.
The Female Joker
The Look: When Heath Ledger uttered his famous quip, “Why so serious?” in The Dark Knight, the rest of the world paid attention. Whether you’re a fan of movie star villains, cult cinema or old school cosplay characters, this next Halloween costume idea demands purple and green accents from head to toe.

The Key Piece(s) to Own: Pay tribute to this much loved comic book villain by rocking a cartoon-style joker, or do a complete 180 and go all out avant-garde to create your very own high fashion joker, with bright green or purple hair and pallid face paint. Here at Bullet Blues we have not one but two pairs of trendy colored skinny jeans to inspire your Joker look this Halloween. Choose from our high-waist purple skinnies or olive green skinny jeans and build your look around this vivid color palette. P.S. Alternating your colored skinny jeans is completely acceptable too – so go green by day and switch up the purple brightness by night.
American made costumes for Halloween allow you to get creative and plan a seriously spooky outfit that belongs in the fall style spotlight. Happy Halloween from Team Bullet Blues!
