Halloween Style Guide

October 12, 2023

It's officially October, which can only mean one thing: spooky szn! If you’re anything like us, the desire to pack in as many scary movies, bonfires, and pumpkin spice lattes before the most hallowed of eves is nearly primal. Every year, we convince ourselves this year will be different and we aren't going to wait until the last minute for a costume, and every year that turns out to be a lie. This year is the year: we have come prepared. Here at Underpinnings we have an incredible selection of lingerie pieces that work perfectly for the base of plenty of costume and we've compiled a list of four basic costumes, each styled two ways. Remember, you can shop online, or come in to see us to get the perfect fit!

Angel

Move over Miss Vicky, the Underpinnings angels are here and we’re not going anywhere. The first costume starts with a Jasmine chemise from the Rya Collection chemise (XS-3X, $155) and slippers (about 4-about10, $60). The same slippers can be paired with the Rya Collection tap set in the second image for a comfier costume. Simple jewelry from Little Rooms and Uncommon James give the first costume a simple, sweet look while the stunning bespoke halo gives the second costume a little bit of edge.

Devil

Another classic, the devil costumes here allow for simple camp and high glam. The Kilo Brava bodysuit is perfect for those wanting to show a little skin. The Curvy Kate bodysuit gives incredible support for a full night of haunts, no bra required! Both costumes feature Commando leggings for a final look that is minimal effort but extreme comfort. The bodysuits feature in sizes S-3X and the leggings feature in sizes XS-3X.

Cat

The possibilities for this costume were truly endless, but we managed to narrow it down to two. Once again the Commando leggings anchor this costume to give it a decidedly sexy feel. Paired with a Curvy Kate bodysuit, or a brand new black bra, you absolutely cannot go wrong. Complete this costume with edgy accessories, or go simple with a cat-eye make up look. Either way, you’re sure to attract your golden retriever boyfriend with this stunning black cat ensemble.

Witch

Last but not least is everyone’s tried and true fave. The Rya Collection and Kilo Brava give two very different witchy vibes. The Rya chemise, slippers, and gloves are perfect for someone wanting comfort and simplicity. The Kilo Brava set is the ideal for someone who wants a low effort costume with maximum sex appeal. Grab your favorite black accessories, or pair with our suggestions for a final look that is absolutely spell-binding.
