About this costume

Every great Halloween needs a witch, and this is the classic Halloween costume idea that proves the archetype never gets old. Layered skirts, a wide-brim hat, and a staff that looks like it's been waiting in the woods for centuries make this an easy Halloween costume for teens and adults who want recognizable, low-effort, high-impact.

DIY this look

The classic witch costume is the easiest Halloween costume idea on this list to DIY - most of it is probably already in your closet.
  1. Layer two or three mismatched skirts over the striped stockings for instant texture.
  2. Add a wide-brim hat (any black hat works if you don't have the witch version).
  3. Dust on the green tint palette lightly if you want spooky, skip it if you don't.
  4. Carry the staff in one hand and the spellbook in the other so both hands have a prop.
