The modern witch outfit has evolved over the years to become a stylish and fashionable ensemble. Gone are the days of the stereotypical pointy hat and black robes. Nowadays, witches embrace a more contemporary and edgy look. One key component of the modern witch outfit is the choice of clothing. While black is still a popular color, witches are now incorporating other dark and neutral tones into their wardrobe. From deep purples and rich greens to charcoal grays and midnight blues, these colors add depth and dimension to the outfit.
How I read it: I received a digital ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If you ve read my other reviews you ll have noticed that I also read and loved Alexandra Christo s TO KILL A KINGDOM, which is another YA retelling of this fairytale. A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore and, though the girl denies it, Evie is convinced that her best friend actually survived.
From deep purples and rich greens to charcoal grays and midnight blues, these colors add depth and dimension to the outfit. In terms of style, witches have moved away from long, flowing robes, opting for more fitted and tailored pieces. Midi or maxi skirts paired with fitted tops or blouses are a popular choice.
Sea Witch - by Sarah Henning (Hardcover)
Ever since her best friend Anna died, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. Hiding her talents, mourning her loss, drowning in her guilt.
Then a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears on the shore, and the two girls catch the eyes of two charming princes. Suddenly Evie feels like she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.
But magic isn't kind, and her new friend harbors secrets of her own. She can't stay in Havnestad--or on two legs--without Evie's help. And when Evie reaches deep into the power of her magic to save her friend's humanity--and her prince's heart--she discovers, too late, what she's bargained away.

These outfits can be layered with capes, shawls, or jackets for added texture and character. Accessories play a crucial role in completing the modern witch outfit. Wide-brimmed hats are still a staple, but they now come in various designs and materials. Statement jewelry, such as large crystal pendants or amulets, is often worn to enhance the mystical vibe. Belts, gloves, and tights in unique patterns or textures add an extra touch of magic. Footwear also contributes to the overall witch aesthetic. Gone are the clunky and uncomfortable heels. Instead, modern witches opt for ankle boots or lace-up boots with low or chunky heels. These provide both style and comfort for long walks in the forest or urban settings. Makeup and hair are essential components of the modern witch look. Dark and smoky eyeshadow palettes, deep red or black lipsticks, and bold eyebrows are commonly seen. Hairstyles range from sleek and straight to messy, beachy waves. Accessories such as headbands, crowns, or feathers can be added for extra flair. Overall, the modern witch outfit combines elements of darkness, sophistication, and individuality. It is a way for witches to express themselves and showcase their personal style while embracing their mystic and enchanting nature. Whether it's for Halloween, a themed event, or everyday wear, the modern witch outfit is sure to turn heads and inspire awe..
Reviews for "Witch Couture: How to Create a Modern Witch Outfit from Scratch"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Witch Outfit Modern. The fabric felt cheap and uncomfortable, and the fit was all wrong. The dress was too short, and the hat was so small it barely stayed on my head. The overall design was not very flattering either. I expected better quality for the price I paid. I would not recommend this outfit.
2. Mark - 1 star
I have to say that the Witch Outfit Modern is one of the worst costumes I have ever purchased. The material started to tear after just one use, and the stitching was already coming undone when it arrived. The hat was flimsy and kept falling off, and the dress had a strange chemical smell that was almost unbearable. Save your money and purchase a better quality costume elsewhere.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was not satisfied with the Witch Outfit Modern. The sizing was completely off, as the dress was too tight around the chest but too loose in other areas. The dress also looked nothing like the picture on the website. The colors were dull and the fabric felt like it would fall apart any minute. It was a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a witch costume.
