Halloween Costumes You’ll Actually Want to Wear Again

Halloween is fun… until November 1st rolls around and you’re left with a plastic-y costume you’ll never touch again. That’s why this year, we put together costumes using Mae Threads pieces (plus a few other accessories) so you can feel chic on Halloween and have quality clothes to re-style afterward. Here are some of our favorite looks:

Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ensemble

Mae Threads piece: The Winnifred Striped Midi Dress in Black and Taupe

With: Naturalizer Women's Morgan Dress Sandal 

This cute costume nods to the internet’s favorite moment of 2025. Add a pretty cushion-cut ring to top it off!

After Halloween: The Winnifred Dress transitions beautifully into everyday wear—pair it with loafers and a blazer for work or sneakers and a denim jacket for weekend soda runs.

Wicked’s Glinda

Mae Threads piece: The Sadie Tiered Midi Dress

With: Bubble Crown and Bubble Wand

With Wicked Part Two hitting theaters soon, this look is right on trend. Just add a little sparkle and you’re instantly Glinda the Good Witch.

After Halloween: The Sadie Dress works as a dreamy, feminine piece for holiday parties. Style it with heels and a jeweled hairpin for a softer, non-costume vibe.

Wicked’s Elphaba

Mae Threads piece: The Tilda Striped Dress in Black 

With: Normandy Block Heel Bootie, Black Tights, and Green Liquid Makeup (the best brand, according to Reddit!)

This outfit brings out your inner Elphaba without needing an itchy witch’s costume. The stripes and sleek silhouette elevate the look.

After Halloween: Lose the green makeup and keep the edge—this dress pairs perfectly with leather boots and a cropped moto jacket.

Wednesday Addams

Mae Threads piece: Vincent Tiered Dress

With: Black Lace Detachable Collar and Black Chunky Mary Janes 

A costume that’s instantly recognizable but chic in its own right. Wednesday never goes out of style.

After Halloween: Swap the collar for a cozy cardigan and ankle boots, and the Vincent Dress becomes your go-to fall uniform.

Bluey Mum

Mae Threads piece: The Nat Top in Rust 

With: Cream Overalls and Orange Dog Ears, Nose, and Tail 

One for the parents of littles who are deep in the Bluey phase. Bandit and Chilli forever!

After Halloween: The Nat Top looks gorgeous with jeans and sneakers or dressed up with trousers for a pulled-together mom-on-the-go outfit.

Coldplay - Gate

Mae Threads pieces: Contessa Boxy Tank and The Boyfriend Jeans

With: Pearl Necklace and Heart Locket Necklace in Gold

A lighthearted nod to the scandalous internet moment. It’s cheeky but stylish enough that you won’t feel like you’re in “joke costume” territory.

After Halloween: Both of these pieces are Mae Threads staples. The Contessa Tank layers under a blazer effortlessly, while the Boyfriend Jeans are everyday-ready.

Parks and Rec

Mae Threads piece: The Antalya Pleated Collar Blouse in Ivory Floral  

With: Navy Pant Suit

Amy Poehler’s new podcast has revived our love for Parks and Rec. Channel Leslie Knope with this floral blouse under a structured suit and a binder for good measure. 

After Halloween: Wear the Antalya blouse with jeans and loafers for a casual office look or layer it under a jumper dress for a cozy fall vibe.

Flapper Girl

Mae Threads piece: The Madonna Sequin Fringe Dress 

With: Long Faux Pearl Necklace and Black T-Strap Heels 

Nothing says party like fringe that moves when you do. Perfect for Halloween, Gatsby parties, or any night that calls for sparkle.

After Halloween: The Madonna Dress doubles as a cocktail-party knockout—just add a lightweight wrap or statement earrings.

40s Girl

Mae Threads piece: The Annabella Polka Dot Dress in Natural + Black

With: Mary Jane Low Heel Pumps and Small Handbag 

Channel retro vibes with a 40s-inspired look that feels timeless, not costumey.

After Halloween: This is one of the easiest pieces to rewear—just add ballet flats and a lightweight cardigan for Sunday brunch.

Disney Princesses

Cinderella

Mae Threads piece: The Willa Shoulder Bow Dress in Sky Blue or The Elva Dress in Sky Blue 

With: Bejeweled Slingback Kitten Heels and Velvet Choker Necklace 

After Halloween: The Elva works for weddings and special occasions, while the Willa is sweet enough for any springtime events.

Megara (Hercules)

Mae Threads piece: The Delilah Dress

With: Gold accessories, Slip-on Sandals

After Halloween: The Delilah is romantic and versatile—pair it with espadrilles in summer or boots in fall.

Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

Mae Threads piece: The Elva Dress in Bronze Gold 

With: Gold Satin Gloves and Gold Pumps 

After Halloween: This warm-toned Elva Dress is perfect for holiday parties with just a clutch and heels.

K-pop Demon Hunters

Mae Threads pieces: The Washed Denim Cargo Pants and The Desert Drifter Graphic Tee

With: Choker Necklace with Pearl Pendant

This one’s for the fashion-forward crowd—think edgy, slightly supernatural, with a K-pop twist. It’s not about replicating a specific character but about embodying the vibe.

After Halloween: These two pieces are weekend staples. The cargos pair well with cropped sweaters, while the Desert Drifter Tee tucks into skirts for an easy streetwear look.
