Here at Town & Country we rarely need an excuse to dress up for the night, let alone Halloween. Set the scene with your best spooky decor and dig into your closet for one of these costumes inspired by our favorite movies. Take a break from reality (we could all use it, right?) and assume the iconic persona of someone else with these Halloween costume ideas from film, for her, him, and groups too.

For Her

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Everyone dreams of being the glamorous Holly Golightly, which is why the costume is always a winner. Bonus points if you are able to get your cat to tag along.

Clueless (1995)

Don’t be a fashion victim or ensemble-y challenged with this classic Clueless costume. Emulate Cher by throwing on a matching plaid set and flipping your hair over your shoulder. This can easily be turned into a group costume as well.

For Him

The Godfather (1972)

Dust off the tux gathering dust in the back of your closet and channel Vito Corleone in The Godfather. The rose lapel pin and horse signet ring really seal the deal. Just don’t let the power go to your head.

Ruby Red Python Classic Rose

Solid Satin Black Bow Tie

Men's Birdseye Wool Tuxedo

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

If your night calls for a bit of first-class mayhem, then take inspiration from everyone’s favorite 80s teen, Ferris Bueller. You may need to source the perfect leather jacket to personify Ferris but the rest of this costume can easily be recreated with wardrobe staples: dress pants, dress shoes, vest (you could even get away with a cardigan), and a white t-shirt.

Barbie (2023)
