Our mission with creating a virtual closet app has always been to get your clothing worn more.

One of the biggest reasons we tend to buy things we don’t need is shopping for single-day events. Whether it’s a black tie affair or a holiday like Halloween, these occasions tend to inspire a new purchase rather than re-styling and rewearing what we already own.

After shopping your own closet for Halloween costume pieces, we love the idea of completing the look with secondhand finds. You can even shop for things that can then be integrated into your day-to-day wardrobe. Maybe it’s a wide brimmed hat and big sunnies to create a 70s-inspired costume:

Dark Academia is trending on TikTok. Shop the look for Halloween and for sustainable additions to your fall wardrobe:

Or, go for a sparkly disco ball look, and hold onto the pieces for holiday and New Years Eve parties:

You can even make an offer on items not for sale in the app, or, ask another Storey member to borrow the perfect piece for your Halloween getup.

So, instead of spending money on a costume you'll wear once, purchase a piece you've been wanting anyway and consider building a costume around it. The best part about this? You have an excuse to buy yourself something for Halloween that you'll actually want to keep.
