With Halloween looming just around the corner, don’t panic, you’re definitely not the only one desperate for a few good costume ideas. Here’s our top list of faux leather Halloween costumes for this year’s holiday.
Enigmatic Assassin
Go for a mysterious look with an assassin costume. Faux leather items include gloves, a corset, belted accessories for the waist and a sling to hold a quiver for arrows. Sport a monochromatic, all black look for added sense of intrigue. Mix things up by adding a cape, sword or unusual weapon for a quick conversation starter. Play up your makeup routine by adding a smoldering smoky eye or colored contacts for added pow. Guys, take on the costume in your own fashion with a set of faux leather armor. Creating your own costume gives you full control of customization options.
Steampunk Inspired
The Steampunk trend has been flying off the handle as of late, so it’s the perfect time to try the trend for yourself. Make your own faux leather corset with fun accents, like brass buckles or a cool pocket watch for added pizzazz. Pair with a simple peasant blouse and voluminous skirt to complete your look. Go all out with added accessories, like a top hat or lace hair additions. Or, as an alternative, make your own faux leather jacket and skirt combination. Add fun extras, like drop earrings or a bold statement necklace made from miniature gears. You’ll turn heads with a set of layered chains for an added bit of sparkle.
Elven Archer
Get inspired the elegant world of the Elves, and create your own elven archer costume. Whether you love Tauriel or remain in denial of her existence, her faux leather costume from The Hobbit movies has inspired plenty of cosplay re-creations. Go for your best elf impression and wear a fitted leather corset, lace-up bracers and add leather pouches to carry all of your essentials. Be prepared for anything with extra weapons, like daggers at the hip or a back up quiver with additional arrows. Go glam by adding a leather crown with chain detailing, pointed ear molds not included. Don’t worry fellas, a Legolas inspired look is simple with a faux leather jacket, set of lightweight armor and a quintessential bow and arrow. Warning, you just might have a few crazed Orlando Bloom fangirls following in your shadow. While you might need to practice walking on snow without leaving any footprints, you can at least enjoy the moment during this Halloween.
Viking Warrior
Go for a fresh and fun look with a faux-leather corset with faux fur trim or braided leather crop top. Amp up the volume on your costume by adding thin straps for a halter style. O-rings and layered chains definitely add a sense of glam to this wickedly delightful look. Pair with a layered skirt made from distressed faux leather. You won’t have to worry about any fussy buttons, simply wrap around your waist and tie at the hip for a sultry style. Styling ideas include side tie lacing, adding brass grommets or D rings to spruce things up.
Pirate Princess
Halloween is all about the plunder, so it’s time to take on the evening’s festivities with a killer pirate outfit. Highlight your accents with a waist-cinching faux leather corset. Layer a breezy, asymmetrical peasant blouse underneath for a look that’s as equally carefree as you feel. For quirky accessories, pop on an eye patch, a hook or peg leg. Don’t forget to have some fun this Halloween, savvy?
