What should I be for Halloween? That’s the question I’ve been hearing for the past week. If you’re like me you’ve already been thinking about what to wear this year. But if you’re costume clueless, here’s some inspiration straight off the runways of New York, Milan and Paris. Hit up your local vintage shop, dig through your closet, break out the glue gun and have fun!

Leather Shorts
Leather pants? Love. Leather shorts? I just don’t get it. I’ve seen people wear leather shorts with black tights and am not a fan. But it’s even stranger seeing leather shorts for spring. It just reminds of when I got stuck in a pair of leather pants and how uncomfortable it was to take them off because I was getting hot in the dressing room. I never want to experience that feeling again.

Hoods
Seriously, why won’t this trend go away? Like I said for fall, I love wearing my hoodie when I’m blogging. But looking like a boxer is not my cup of tea.

Sweatshirts
Sure they’re comfy but loungewear doesn’t always translate to the streets. While some of the sweatshirt styles that came done the runway were wearable and very Norma Kamali, others I would never leave the house in.

Crop Tops
Even if you go to Pilates six times a week, I don’t feel like seeing your abs when I’m walking down the street. I didn’t mind the small slip of stomach at 3.1 Phillip Lim but there’s no reason to show off your belly-button unless you’re at the beach or the gym.
