22 DIY Halloween Witch Costumes That Are Simple But Not Basic

Whether you're on the hunt for a last-minute Halloween costume or have had your heart set on embracing your inner witch for months, options abound. After all, it is one of the holiday's most popular disguises. There's good reason for that—it's simple to dress up as a witch.

But you don't have to look just like every other woman at the Halloween party. When it comes to the DIY witch costume, the ideas are nearly endless. If you're headed to a sophisticated adults-only event (like a Halloween wedding!), go the vintage route. A cool black dress and heels look solid with a traditional witch hat. Of course, you could also go the opposite way, and wow at the parade with a scary version, inspired by one of these frightful witch books. In that case, an easy to put together dark ensemble with some strategic makeup will do just the trick.
