Halloween, Styled in Silk
Halloween is a lingerie holiday.
Mean Girls said it: “The hard-core girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears.”
My take? Why buy a costume you’ll throw away when you could have a keepsake? Build your look around silk you’ll love long after October 31.
The look is yours.
End the night in silk.
BEGIN WITH THE FIRST LAYER
Looking for the sexiest Halloween costume this year? I’d start with a silk set I want to stay in all night: soft against my skin, with a fit I can move in.
Where do you start shopping for Halloween lingerie? Choose your base first. Eclipse comes in Black and Pink Champagne. Our silk pieces are 95% silk and 5% elastane, fully silk-lined, with signature gold-plated hardware.
The Everyday Triangle pairs with tulle or feathers. The Convertible Push-Up can go halter; The Convertible Longline switches from double straps to a caged look. Add the accessory that makes your character recognizable.
Already own a set you love? Start there.
THE BALLERINA AND THE BLACK SWAN
Ballerina or Black Swan? The Everyday Triangle does both: Pink Champagne with tulle, Black with feathers. Add a ribbon or a dark crown, then make the makeup yours. Same starting point, completely different energy.

A crown, a sheer cape, Pink Champagne silk: Glinda, your way. Add a wand if you’re feeling extra.

MAKE THE COSTUME YOUR OWN
How do you make a lingerie costume feel original? Use these looks as a starting point. Add your own touch with a dramatic cape, a pair of gloves or a ribbon in your hair.
Want more coverage? Add a skirt, shorts or a jacket. Try it all on, shoes included. Sit, walk, dance. Comfort deserves as much attention as the photos.
Fasten wings and capes to outer layers, not directly to silk, which can snag.
A PIECE TO KEEP AFTER HALLOWEEN
This is the part I love: the hat comes off, the party ends, and you’re still in silk. You bought a piece to keep, with a memory attached.
Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Follow our Silk Care guide to look after the fabric and gold-plated hardware.
Make it yours, Lovie. End the night in silk.
BEGIN YOUR COLLECTION
Find your starting point in the Eclipse Collection, in Black and Pink Champagne. The character is up to you.
Indulge in Darkness,
Embrace Your Light.
