Orange and black are the traditional colors of Halloween that you may go for to show your support of the holiday without wearing a costume.

Black and orange may be the two colors the most associated with Halloween but there are other colors that can be used to create a look inspired by this holiday. You may think of green and red to match with your black ensemble that may still support the holiday celebration in a subtle way. You may go for outfits that evoke feeling of dark and spooky moods like overflowing fabric, dark color palette, and other witch-like vibe. Red and black combination is classic but can be involved in the celebration when worn dramatically. A black fur coat looks glamorous but can be adapted to the Halloween when worn with an all black outfit. A tulle skirt may look girly and whimsical but a black shade paired with brocade top may evoke a Victorian era that can be suited for the celebration too. Speaking of Edwardian and Victorian fashion styles, they look vintage and fashionable but when worn in an exaggerated way, it can be a perfect outfit for you on a Halloween without wearing a costume.
