October weather is notoriously unpredictable, with evening temperatures frequently plunging below freezing during street festivals and outdoor parties. You don't have to freeze or cover your entire costume with a bulky winter coat.
1. Fleece-Lined "Fake Sheer" Tights
The single greatest revolution in cold-weather costume styling. These tights feature a thick nude fleece interior with a sheer black nylon exterior, giving the illusion of bare skin or thin hosiery while keeping your legs toasty warm.
2. Faux-Fur Boleros and Hooded Velvet Cloaks
Incorporate outerwear directly into the costume concept. A deep black velvet hooded cape adds mystery to vampire and witch outfits while blocking freezing wind.
