Create Your Own Costume with Vintage

It's almost Halloween! At Ragstock it's pretty much our favorite holiday so we're here to help you get some inspiration for this year's epic costume. Sometimes finding that perfect vintage clothing piece gets it all started. Ready to start dreaming up this year's amazing costume? Here are some ideas for you!

Stumped for ideas this year? Think about your favorite films... A simple leather jacket and safari shirt can transform you into Indiana Jones. You really can't go wrong with any Wes Anderson movie character. Stop by and browse our track suits, blazers and don't forget the sunglasses to complete the look. Pick an Elvis era and pull together pieces to create your own iconic costume. 

When I saw this black and white dress I knew we needed to create a Wednesday Adams. Sad Prom Queen anyone? Find a vintage formal dress and pick up a sparky tiara and you are ready for the party. Turn a recycled trench into a M3gan dress for a scary but pretty look. This black ivy dress is waiting for some wings to turn you into a more gothic fairy. If you aren't feeling inspired, just start browsing our vintage items and we're sure you will discover the perfect costume.

Or pick your favorite fashion decade... A great vintage 70s shirt, leather vest, bell bottoms or 80s acid washed denim piece should get you going in the right direction. Ragstock has great accessories like retro shades and vintage scarves to complete your look. The great thing about shopping vintage is you can wear the items later long after Halloween. So much better than a throw away costume.

Really all you need is a great coat to pull it all together. Channel your favorite era of Madonna, Taylor or Beyoncé with a cool leather jacket or grab an elegant fur coat and transform into a glamor girl. Maybe you can even find the perfect Ken coat! 

Add some lace gloves and GoGo Boots to really pull it all together!
