Spooky season is coming up, so we’ve gathered some cozy costume ideas for your celebrations. Because why not wear something as comfortable as a robe and pajama, all while portraying an iconic character? Plus, you can wear these looks again every day – not just for one party.
Sherlock Holmes’ navy blue dressing gown
Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock (BBC) is a prime example of modern day loungewear. Donning pajamas and silky robes, Sherlock clearly demonstrates how and why to wear it: to look effortlessly stylish even while solving murder mysteries. Our navy satin robe, dark gray pajama and black slippers not only make a recognizable costume, but will also serve you much longer than just one Halloween.

Hugh Hefner’s iconic red jacket
Hefner’s smoking jacket was a red velvet garment with a black satin collar and cuffs. It was adorned with monogrammed initials on the breast pocket and a belt around the waist. The jacket was designed by Arthur Sarnoff, an artist who worked for Playboy in the 1950s and 1960s.
The smoking jacket was part of Hefner’s signature look and was often seen in photographs and media appearances. It became a symbol of the Playboy lifestyle and was associated with luxury, indulgence, and sophistication.
Gomez Addams’ Purple Smoking Robe
As one of the most famous characters that dons a smoking jacket, Gonez Addams’ look is surely going to be very recognizable at any Halloween party. In Addams Family Values (1993) the iconic character is portrayed by Raul Julia, who sports an eye-catching purple and black smoking jacket with what appears to be a velvet-like texture.
This one is perfect as a partner look!

Bonus: Mr. Freeze’s ice blue lounging ensemble
Lastly, we have a special idea for all comic book fans. In the 1997 Batman & Robin movie (yes, the one starring George Clooney, Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzenegger), the ice blue loungewear of Mr. Freeze is quite iconic. While we couldn’t find a similar polar bear print fabric, our pastel blue jacquard robe and blue cotton pajamas are a close match.
