If there is one thing that has the power to lift you up in the drag of cold weather and midterms, it’s Halloweekend. The one weekend where everyone seems to be getting ready to go out — be it to a frat house, bar, club, or trick-or-treating (I don’t judge). As you solidify your plans not just for Friday or Saturday night, but for literally every possible night of the weekend (this is Halloweekend, after all) let’s not forget about outfits! Some festive going-out tops are necessary for Halloween weekend.
Of course, this is Halloween, and you probably have at least one Halloween costume planned. But as you begin to fill your schedule, you may be facing a very common predicament. I’m talking about when you don’t really want to dress in full costume, but still want to stay on theme. Just because you can’t think of another elaborate costume (or don’t want to spend money on another elaborate costume) doesn’t mean you should miss out on all the spooky, stylish vibes! That’s where this list comes in. With it, you’ll be sure to find many going-out tops perfect for all your Halloween weekend plans. Plus, these aren’t actual costumes, so you’ll be able to wear them all year long, serving scary gorgeous looks all year round.
