You are the friend people go to for advice, and you are usually right. A witch costume suits you because it is clever rather than scary: a bit of mystery, a bit of mischief, and a lot of confidence.
It is also one of the easiest costumes to make your own. A black base, a hat and one strong detail (a broom, a spell book, a jar of “eye of newt”) and you are done.
Why it’s you
- You give the best advice
- Cosy nights over big parties
- You like a little mischief
- Black and orange is your palette
How to make it
- +Start with a black dress, or black jeans and a black top
- +Add a pointed hat: buy one or roll black card into a cone
- +Layer a cape, shawl or long cardigan
- +Carry one prop: a broom, a spell book or a jar of glow sticks
- +Dark lipstick and a drawn-on mole if you want more drama
Tips
- !Glue felt stars or moons to the hat to make it yours
- !A green-face witch reads instantly in photos; a modern witch is easier to wear all night
Group or couple version
Go as a coven of three, each in a different colour (black, purple, green), or pair up as a witch and her black cat.
For fun. Costume ideas only; check your school’s, office’s or venue’s rules about masks, make-up and props before you go.
