Mad Men
Now that Casual Fridays have consumed the entire calendar, spending Halloween night dressed up to the nines “Mad Men”-style is a treat. Along with boxy suits and matching purses, retro-inspired heels complete Betty and Peggy looks. Classic brogue shoes for men personify Don Draper’s old-school charm. Or, channel Joan Holloway with sexy but ladylike d’Orsay kitten heels.

Lumberjack
What’s a lumberjack without a tough pair of work boots or a hint of buffalo plaid? Luckily, footwear brands are offering heritage boots that complement the outdoorsman look of dark denim and plaid shirts—stalwart pieces in hipsters’ closets.

Jersey Shore
Amongst the fist pumps, poufs and disorderly conduct lies a trove of “Jersey Shore” costume ideas. Snooki proves that party girls can dance and boost a 4’9″ frame in mega heels. Bright kicks and exotic loafers embody the loud Jersey look for guys.
