Can you believe it’s almost Halloween<\/a>? If you are anything like us, it feels like fall<\/a> has been flying by and time might have gotten away from you when it comes to planning a costume. As the party<\/a> invites stack up, the more pressure there is to have a unique look for each night out.<\/a> If you’re looking for something simple yet chic to throw on for every Halloween party you’re hitting, we’ve put together a list of three cute get-ups you can create<\/a> with just a black dress<\/a> and some easy-to-find accessories. Whether you’ve completely forgotten to get a costume<\/a> or you’re hoping to add a few extra looks to your lineup, these black dress Halloween costume ideas are sure to have you looking like a treat<\/a> on the spookiest night of the year.<\/p>\n

If you have a black skater dress:<\/h2>\n\"holly\n

You can dress up like Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/em>! This girly costume is super chic and you probably have everything you need to achieve the look (except for maybe those long black gloves, which are easy to find at costume stores). A black fit-and-flare dress<\/a> pays homage to the classic Givenchy worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film, while on-trend cat-eye sunnies<\/a>\u00a0give you just enough attitude to pull off her sassy style. Wrap a few strands of pearls<\/a> around your neck and slip on some black pumps<\/a> for an elegant ensemble that’s almost effortless enough to wear every day. Slip on your gloves and grab a cup of coffee and a croissant and get ready to make eyes at anything sparkly<\/a> that catches your attention!<\/p>\n

If you have a long sleeve black maxi dress:<\/h2>\n\"dress\n

You can go as Morticia Addams! Morticia is most known for her slinky long black dress, which matches her long inky hair. Pair a curve-hugging maxi dress<\/a> with a long black wig and a cameo necklace<\/a> to get the look, and adopt a mysterious, spooky attitude to get the full effect. Grab yourself a Gomez and make sure your red lipstick<\/a> is a long-wear formula if you plan on speaking any, er, French<\/em>. A bouquet of rose stems (no flowers) completes the look and feels just the right amount of morbid. Want to go a little more on the nose? Add a pointed hat and a broom for a quick and easy witch costume!<\/p>\n

If you have a black bodycon dress:<\/h2>\n\"turn\n

Just add ears and you’re party-ready<\/a> as a cute cat! It’s a classic Halloween costume for a reason, given how sexy<\/a> yet simple it is. A sleek little black dress<\/a> becomes the perfect backdrop for you to dress up as\u00a0a\u00a0little black cat, showing off your curves and giving you a slinky look that would make any kitty say meow<\/em>. We updated our ears with sequin<\/a> and lace<\/a> details and added a feline-inspired choker<\/a> to look like a collar. Take it one step further by using black eyeliner or face paint to make whiskers and a nose and you have the ultimate last-minute costume.<\/p>\n
