Easy Halloween Costume Ideas

Let’s be honest: not all of us have the time—or energy—for a full-blown Halloween costume. But that doesn’t mean a ghoulishly good look is out of the question. Jewelry is your not-so-secret weapon for turning basics into something festive — fast. Our Halloween collection is packed with accessories for every spooky season vibe, from subtle charms to full-on statements. (And even more styles are coming soon.)

Whether you're headed to a last-minute party or tagging along for trick-or-treat duty, we’re breaking down cute Halloween costume ideas you’ll actually want to repeat year after year.

Why Jewelry is the Secret Weapon for Low Effort Halloween Costumes

When you don’t know what to wear, jewelry always comes through (on Halloween or otherwise). A pair of pumpkin studs, a ghost charm bracelet, or villain-inspired earrings can take your everyday look from basic to bewitching in seconds. These pieces do all the heavy lifting—no costume change required.

4 DIY Halloween Costume Ideas

Consider this your shortcut to looking festive without the fuss. With a few fun accessories and staples from your closet, you’ve got a Halloween costume that’s comfy, cute, and ready in minutes.

01 Wear Black — It’s That Easy

Black outfits are the perfect base for a last-minute Halloween costume. Throw on a sleek black dress or jumpsuit, add cat ears and dramatic eyeliner, and finish with feline-inspired earrings for a no-fuss black cat look.

Want something a little spookier? Try skeleton studs or our best-selling statement earrings for an instant upgrade from basic to boo-tiful.

(Bonus points for adding spider jewelry. Every skeleton has its fair share of creepy crawlers.)

02 Halloween-ify Your Everyday Style

Headed to a day party or want something a little more low-key? Our delicate Halloween studs offer just the right amount of flair. From pumpkins and candy corn to skulls and fangs, these tiny-but-mighty pieces are perfect for stacking.

Pro tip: wear your hair back in a high pony or topknot to let those earrings really steal the show.

03 Go Ghost Mode

We’re not talking about ignoring your texts. We’re talking about that other type of ghosting. Toss on a white tee, oversized button-down, or even a lacy dress and accessorize with ghost studs, charm bracelets, or glow-in-the-dark earrings for a modern take on a timeless costume. It’s equal parts cute and clever — without having to cut into an old bedsheet.

04 Match With Your Mini-Me

Going out with your little monsters and need a Halloween costume pair idea? Whether it’s pumpkin earrings, ghost bracelets, or black cat studs, our minibar kid's Halloween jewelry lets you and your kids wear matching Halloween accessories and create cute Halloween looks.

How to Throw Together a Last Minute Halloween Costume

Real talk: sometimes the Halloween spirit hits at the eleventh hour. When that happens, keep it simple — just add festive jewelry to your go-to black outfit and call it a costume. Skeleton earrings, ghost studs, charm bracelets, and even playful Disney pieces can transform your everyday look into something totally bewitching.
