On more than one Halloween, we've found ourselves outside, shivering as cool Fall air hit our bare arms. "Crap," we thought, hugging ourselves and searching for body heat. "Should have brought a coat."
But the truth was, a coat didn't go with sexy cat or evil doll or whatever costume it was we rocked that year. So this time around, we planned ahead, finding 17 looks that combine comfort and style by incorporating outwear. Read on for a few ideas to keep you warm on the 31st, outsmarting Mother Nature but still staying chic. How's that for a treat, huh?
1 Olivia Pope
Break out your white coats, gladiators; it doesn't take much more than a sleek topper to get this costume handled.
2 Carmen Sandiego
People will ask "Where in the world did you come up with such a smart idea?"
3 Jackie Onassis
Throw on a structured or collarless coat, oversize shades, and possibly a hat, and you'll be fierce FLOTUS material.
4 Margot Tenenbaum
5 Kate Middleton
Not only will you get to channel your inner princess with cold-weather boots and tights, but you can also skip the tiara entirely. Bonus: this costume also works if you're pregnant!
6 Penny Lane
Boho queen Penny Lane's plush outerwear would make you warm enough to skip the warm apple cider — almost.
7 Katniss Everdeen
The main character in The Hunger Games is not only a hero, but she knows how to rock a leather jacket.
8 Chanel From Scream Queens
If you tuned into Scream Queens last season, then you know Chanel's had a pretty furry wardrobe — before she swapped those items out for scrubs. Add a pair of shades to your statement-making outerwear, shout out orders, walk like you rule the school, and you're good to go.
9 Sandy From Grease
Sandy may strip off her leather jacket the moment she shows her new look to Danny, but who says you have to reenact the whole movie?
10 Willy Wonka
A purple coat is a standout option for any day of the week, but add a top hat and a bow tie and you're one step closer to owning a chocolate factory.
11 Anna From Frozen
If love is an open door, you're gonna need an extra layer to fight the chill. Drape a purple topper over your look and add mittens for extra protection.
12 Kim Kardashian
You could be Kim, you could be Kendall, you could even be non-Kardashian-Jenner Hailey Baldwin. This crew of ladies have a thing for dusters, so pair one with something tight, contour your face, and you're practically ready for a fashion show.
13 Cruella de Vil
We don't know what's better: the excuse to wear a large furry coat or the fact that Cruella's one of the easiest costumes out there.
14 Spinelli From Recess
Not only is this costume '90s-tastic, but you can also grab some buddies and go as the whole Recess crew.
15 Mary Poppins
A scarf, a hat, an umbrella, a very large bag... this Mary Poppins look is pretty much you during the Fall anyway.
16 Red Riding Hood
If you've got a red cape, go for it, but a hooded red coat will work just as well — and it's pretty much the only piece you'll need.
