A few classic Halloween figures that will never go out of style include ghosts, vampires, zombies, mummies, and witches. If you want to shake things up, many DIY witch costumes put a new spin on the traditional look. A black dress and a fancy witch hat will still do the trick. Any witch you decide to dress up as will undoubtedly leave everyone feeling enchanted. Here is a guide on how to dress as a witch.

Select a black outfit or an all-black ensemble

While modern witches should opt for ripped black jeans and a black long-sleeve shirt, traditional witches get typically seen in long, black dresses. Choose your essential wardrobe items based on what you already have in your closet and feel confident wearing them. A simple black dress can transform into a witch’s outfit using scissors to create the appearance of a tattered and torn hem and sleeves.

Put a pair of black stockings on to keep your legs warm

 If it’s cold outside, you can wear tights or stockings, but they are optional. Stay with black tights to complete your all-black look, and invest in fishnets or patterned tights if you want to give your dress a little extra glitz.

• Tights made of spiderwebs would be an excellent touch for your evil witch persona.
• You’ll appear as though you’ve just finished a grueling broomstick tour of the city.
• If you want to add a pop of color to the shredded denim style, you may always put a pair of fishnets underneath that go with your Halloween witch hat.

To complete your look, utilize black boots or shoes

Although traditional witches typically wear pointed boots, you are free to wear any other type of black footwear. Consider donning black shoes or baggy clothing, along with a modern witch hat, if you want to look more like a modern witch. A pair of black shoes will complete your look if your witch is from the past. Put on a pair of black stilettos if you’re going to a party and want to appear a little fancier.

Put on a witch’s cap in black

For Halloween, you can get a cheap black witch hat from a costume or thrift shop.  If you want to channel Maleficent, do a set of horns rather than a high womens witch hat.

• Use hot glue to add faux spiders or leaves to your hat for an additional fall effect if you want to personalize it.

For a striking entrance, add a cape or cloak

Although not all witches wear a cape, it can give your outfit a touch of eerie sophistication. If you want everyone in the room to stop and look when you enter, tie a black cape around your neck and let it hang behind you.

• A witch from the Victorian era would look great with a black velvet cape, while a witch from today would look great with a black cotton cloak.
• In a nearby costume shop, you can look for witch hat costume.
• You ought to wrap a black blanket around the neck of a black cape.
