20 Spooky Accessories You Can Rock Year-Round

Halloween isn’t just a holiday, it’s a lifestyle

by Bailey Calfee

For some, Halloween is a one-and-done type of situation—dress up, go out, and then retire the costume to the very back of the closet. However, for others, the creepy, spooky aesthetic lives year-round; it’s not just a holiday—it’s a way of life. For those who find themselves in the latter position, we’re with you. A cringe-worthy aesthetic leaves the kind of impression that will last forever. What's not to love?

That said, there is value in subtlety. So while black lipstick on the daily may not be a thing that works for you, there's still a way to make a subtly spooky contribution to your everyday vibe. Accessories with a hint of horror bring life (or, death) to the most basic of outfits; they won't cause a scene, but they will make you feel like you're low-key spooky at all times.

Luckily, there are plenty of brands out there that cater to this particular look, and you can find some of the best accessories to add to your wardrobe for year-round creepiness in the gallery, below.
