Halloween is around the corner, so it's time to find out what costumes...are around your corner. Our expert panel of Halloween stylists has scoured the West Village for the best costume shops around. See their picks below! 

Witches, Smurfs, and Jesus, Oh My!

This Halloween emporium has scary fantastic costumes ($30-$60) and accessories for adults and kids. Satisfy your inner super-hero and dress as Super Woman, or go as something more unconventional like a Mario brother, Smurf, or Jesus. 

You can also spook up your look with our expert panel’s favorite: red-colored contact lenses. If you're throwing a party, find Halloween-themed decor like plates, pumpkin lights, witch-hat lights, and spider webs.

Hudson Magazine & Party Store

Leather Lover's Lair

Our expert panel of Halloween stylists boldly ventured to this S/M-leather-fetish shop in the W.V. (they're a rather conservative bunch), and boy, are they glad they did. If you’re looking to go as a member of the Village People, this is the place to get the gear. They have leather everything (jackets, thongs, harnesses collars, whips, etc). And ladies, though this is definiitely a men’s shop, leashes are unisex, and drag kings rock.

The Leather Man

The Good, The Bad, And The Pretty

Deep in the Village lies this Western shop, where men and women can find apparel like chaps, hats, boots (for kids too!), and other cowboy accessories. Snakeskin belt, anyone? Bonus: cowboy boots are in right now, so you can use them after Halloween. Find distinctly non-vegan styles in leather, crocodile, lizard, python, and more. Yee-haw!
