Levi's Nailed the Art of the Halloween Collection
Holiday-specific clothing is usually fraught with gimmicks, meaning that it’s wearable for one day a year and has to be worn as a joke on that day anyway. Halloween, though, somehow continues to produce collections and clothing that perform well above your average holiday-specific garment. Take these Halloween sneakers, for example, or these retro horror-movie shirts. The latest in our Halloween-clothing-that-outlasts-the-holiday roster is Levi’s x Universal Monsters.
We’d go as far as saying that this is the best of the lot. Levi’s rounds up a bunch of horror icons to grace its classic staples that range from sweats to signature denim. But while we’d expect Levi’s to hit the mark, the Levi’s x Universal Monsters collection exceeds our expectations.
It’d be easy to slap a quick Frankenstein graphic on a hoodie, but Levi’s goes the extra distance for this collection. Collaged snapshots of horror characters detail a sweatpants and hoodie combo in dramatic black & white, for example.
Or, looking to the denim, Frankenstein and The Mummy take center stage, again in black & white against white denim jeans and chore coat. The final product is seriously punchy and works a charm even when decoupled from Halloween. We’d sport these pieces all year round.
There aren’t many cinematic worlds that have given us more legendary iconography than the world of horror flicks. It’s this unmatched archive of unmistakable characters and imagery that Levi’s doubles down on, giving it pride of place without overdoing it.
So, when you’re done using the Levi’s x Universal Monsters collection as your cheat code to dodge annoying fancy dress rules, you can keep it in the wardrobe for use once Halloween ends.
