Spooky Season is coming… Let’s do Halloween costumes sustainably:

With Halloween around the corner, it is important to keep conservation in mind when choosing a glamorous or spooky costume for the 31st. Though most people believe that the only way to achieve a great look is through buying new via Amazon or shopping at Spirit Halloween, I am here to detail some ways that you can dress the part without the implication of a large ecological footprint.

• Instead of Amazon try:

  • Shopping on online thrift stores such as Thredup

  • Shopping on online vintage clothing stores

    • Try out Persephone Vintage or Refashioner

  • Fashion marketplace sites

    • Try out Depop or Ebay's fashion section

• Instead of Spirit Halloween

  • Some shopping locations

    • Thrift stores (see ‘the ultimate thrift guide of the DMV’ page)

• Helpful tips

  • Repurpose clothes in your closet

  • Ask friends for costumes or pieces that they have in their closet
