“What are you being for Halloween?” My answer is always the same–a person who works and lives in the fashion world (aka myself). The truth is, I am rather costume adverse. It is not because I think Halloween is silly nor am I “above” celebrating a holiday that is focused on free candy. But, the reality is, when it comes to fashion, isn’t every day a chance to dress up?
Much like the perfect Halloween costume, most trendy looks are compromised of references, originality and personality. So while I wish O could shower you with endless amounts of candy corn, I have an almost as sweet way for you to celebrate Halloween.
Can you guess which of the below looks are simply Halloween costumes and which are trends that are a total “treat” this fall?

Trick or treat? Treat! Chunky knit sweaters are a look that even your grandma would approve of (and probably rock as well). (Photo via @thedesignerdream)
Trick or treat? Treat! Rock a bandana and be the sheriff of the wild, wild west that is your library during midterms. (Photo via @brisaamarr)
Trick or treat? Trick! Although we can’t completely rule out the possibility of Boy Scout-chic being the next big thing. (Photo via @anndyjackson)
Trick or treat? Treat! When you dress like Kylie Jenner every single day, it is no longer a costume but rather a way of life. (Photo via @elizabethmorales)
Trick or treat? Trick! While we sympathize with being torn over which fashion idol to model your wardrobe, at the end of the day, you have to choose between Karl or Anna, not both. (Photo via @suchstuffasdreamsaremadeon)
Trick or treat? Treat! The only thing that would make this classic French look better would be to rock a beret while ordering and promptly devouring a pain au chocolat. (Photo via @therachelstory)
