Sassy But Classy- A Guide to Halloween 2016

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Saint Mary's chapter.

Leaves are falling. Everyone is breaking out their boots. Spice Chai Lattes from Starbucks are clutched in hands. You know what that means. FALL TIME MEANS HALLOWEEN TIME. Now in today’s society, collegiates are pressured to dress in a certain way they do not feel comfortable in just to fit in. Why wear a tight body-con dress with six inch heels when it feels like negative degrees out? It is possible to dress in a modest, classy way and still look sassy. Here’s five Halloween costumes that will help you stay comfortable and still look as sassy as others.

Sandy from Grease

Throw on some black pants with a black top with a black jacket, and you’re ready to go! The character Sandy, from Grease, gives off a intimidating but classy look. Don’t forget to curl your hair and put on some red lipstick and matching red heels.

Deer Lady

Sometimes it is not about the outfit itself. Makeup is now used in art form. Take your earth tones and your brown tones and you can whip up a “deer” look easily. Start off by contouring your face and leave it on, but DO NOT BLEND. You can leave it be. Just add in your white spots on the cheek area and make your nose and you are good to go. Finish off the look with a white long tee with a faux fur vest with some warm leggings.

Greek Goddess

Want to take the elegant side? Try being a Greek goddess. Take any long, light-weight formal gown and add a shawl on. This outfit is perfect for a family Halloween party. Just don’t forget to add on the arm candy, gladiator sandals, and golden hair bands.

Kim Possible (Katniss)

If you have army green pants and a long black shirt, you can easily be either Kim Possible from Disney or Katniss from the Hunger Games. It is such a basic outfit, but everyone will definitely notice what you are. The small little details like the brown belt, black combat boots, and lipstick will get the job done.

 

Gatsby

Trying to impress with a classy look? This is the ultimate classy but sassy outfit. Think Gatsby! With your choosing, you can either dress it down or dress it up real nice. Add on some tights for your comfort. Try to find a nice faux fur shawl and gloves from a halloween store to match your extravagant jewelry and heels.

With Halloween coming up right around the corner, everyone freaks out about what to wear. There’s pressure on society to dress up as revealing as much as possible. However with this guide, you can look classy but still classy with these five Halloween costumes. Happy Halloween, everyone.
