Halloween Inspiration: What Real People Wore

With Halloween just around the corner, it's time to get started on those costumes! For vintage lovers, I feel that this holiday requires a little something extra since we dress a bit "costumey" everyday! Today's Halloween inspiration comes from photographs from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s of people in costume.

Black cat and skull and cross bones.

A lot of traditional costumes were popular but don't be afraid to get creative. Give any costume a vintage edge with period hair and makeup and adapt a costume to the shape of the era you're going for.
