1. Be sporty
Running parallel to recent “health goth” and normcore trends, bring out sporty brand names and labels for a minimalist athletic look. Mesh, stripes and metallic details will take you from the gym to an everyday look. The black and white palette keeps things barren and mysterious.

2. Rock a dark lip color
This fall, swap out your classic red lipstick for something a little more sinister. Simple black goes well with monochromatic looks. Darker jewel tones are sure to highlight your witchy pout.
