Halloween letterman jackets can smoothly fit all these costumes. So, it’s time to blow the dust off your high-school outerwear and style it for the spooky season.

“DIY-ing Halloween costumes is an art. Be as artistic and haunted as you can and you’ll have just the perfect character to play for the party.”

Truly, there are uncountable ways to style your Halloween varsity jacket. But here are some spooky recommendations from my end:

• Bring Back the Retro Style

You can take a lot of Halloween costume references from the 80s and the 90s.Moreover, you should know that the popularity of varsity jackets was all-time high during this time. And this look will be simple to style too. Get a pair of boot-cut pants and some ankle-high boots and wear your varsity jacket. If you want to spookify your look a little bit, some ghoulish makeup would be just perfect. 

• A Student? Or a Vampire?

Well, this one is my favorite, and so easy to pull off too. All you need is your jacket and a pair of fangs – and maybe a few drops of blood (please use fake blood). You just have to wear your varsity jacket the way you casually do and put some vampire shizz on. With drops of blood and those frightful teeth, you’ll look like attending the party right after feasting on some fresh, healthy human.

• A Twist to Halloween Classics

You can never go wrong when dressing up as the Halloween classic characters. You can be a ghost or a pumpkin or just be a witch. And just pair up your jacket with your costume. For instance, you can be a witch or a wizard, but from high school. You can be creative and be whatever spooky being you want to be with your varsity jacket.

• Your Favorite Movie Character

There are so many popular movie characters you can play wearing your varsity jacket. You can even watch some high school/Halloween movies or TV shows to take some references. You can give a spooky twist to the cheerful high-school characters and back your costume with a haunted story. For example, anyone from High School Musical or Teen Wolf, or any other you love.

• Become Your Favorite Celebrity

You should know that varsity jackets have been popular among celebrities since forever. So, if you have a varsity jacket you can become them, this spooky season. For Instance, those who have a green letterman jacket can be Princess Diana. Or if you have a red and yellow jacket, let’s be Michael Jackson from the Thriller music video.
