It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of Halloween. On an occasion where your costume choices are endless, making a selection can feel like life or death. After you’ve decided what to be, there comes the matter of assembling the look. Yet real ones would know: it boils down to the smallest details, whether you’ve decided to commit to the bit or keep it casual.
The celebrity set notoriously take their Halloween quite seriously. For some, it’s just about going the pop culture route. Kim Kardashian recently dressed up as her daughter, North West, donning exact replicas of the teenager’s signature ice-blue wig and edgy, gothic wardrobe. The accessories matched as well, with Kim wearing the custom skull necklace that she had gifted North last Christmas. Each element of the costume allowed Kim to capture North’s aesthetic exactly. The Internet was struck by their uncanny resemblance.

If you aren’t an avid fan of cosplaying for Halloween but are still hoping to take part in the thrill of it all, then playing it up with accessories might be your poison of choice. All over the Internet, small brands have taken to releasing subtle Halloween-themed accessories that help one to lean into the holiday’s theatrics. Take Bangkok brand, Tie A Knot, which went viral for its eclectic and quirky tie designs. Imbuing a touch of fun and whimsy into accessories traditionally worn with business attire for formal occasions, its surreal and spunky X-Ray collection features funky animal skeletons on its ties. The best part? You don’t have to relegate the tie to the back of your closet, because in truth, you can probably whip it out of your wardrobe anytime you’re feeling like it.
