    32 Dresses To Use For Costumes That You'll Also Want To Wear When Halloween's Over

    Spooky season investments are the best kind.

    1. A Veronica number just in time for the new Riverdale season and the bewitching hour.

    2. A Wednesday Addams classic that, tbh, you're going to wear over and over again during normal life, too.

    3. Or a Madeleine frock to cop the easygoing style of the ~original~ cool French girl. Now you just need a yellow hat and red scarf!

    4. An angelic option in burgundy, black, or white so you can play it good or evil.

    5. A Dalmatian print in case you're ready to make nice with Cruella de Vil for one night a year.

    6. A pretty babydoll in several color combos so you can dress up as an actual doll. Creepy ventriloquist-chin lines up to you!

    7. A denim dress that'll serve as the perf cowgirl base so you can finally put that red bandanna to use and find an excuse to learn how to lasso.

    8. A zebra-print frock for being, well, a zebra.

    9. And a leopard-print choice so everyone in your pack can coordinate. Or you can hang solo, put a bone in your ponytail, and call yourself Pebbles.

    10. A Ms. Frizzle lookalike as a lazy way to teach a lesson about the solar system. Or the effect of ethanol now that you found a DD for The Magic Schoolbus. Or you could just be Rick and Morty.

    11. A tourist T-shirt you could adapt for a Raoul Duke look.

    12. A baseball tee in a million different colors to rep your favorite team — or make up one.

    13. And a bodycon football jersey begging to be personalized with numbers, team names, emoji, whatever.

    14. A groovy velvet look you could use to pass off as Austin Powers with some fake teeth or Blair Waldorf with a headband.

    15. Bib overalls you can wear as a farmer or go with a group and break out into a rendition of "Come on Eileen."

    16. An ~official~ Barbie gingham frock ready for costumes, picnics, and beyond!

    21. An on-trend prairie dress to get your Little House on the Prairie or Oregon Trail on in a totally comfy way.
