A little goth, a little bohemian, a little mystical \u2013 a witchy wardrobe can be a fun and spooky style to wear year-round, not just in October. With a combination of flowy chiffons, lustrous velvets, chunky knits, tough leathers, delicate silks, and intricate lace fabrics, a modern witchy look is made all the more impactful due to its layers and textures. Due to the success of last year’s article on building a witchy capsule wardrobe<\/a>, I’ll be further expanding that entry with additional posts featuring more of my favorite wardrobe-worthy Amazon finds. Here, I’ll share my picks for best dresses to add to this style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A witchy wardrobe relies on drama that’s created through interesting details and voluminous silhouettes. Look for dresses like the ones pictured above, that feature tiered ruffles, dramatic cape-like sleeves, and off the shoulder styling.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite Amazon finds is this 2-piece asymmetrical lace maxi dress. This dress is chock full of great details: a flowy layered skirt, a backless and sleeveless design, all done in a beautiful lace fabric. Plus it’s available in 8 colors, from quintessential witchy shades like black and gray, to more atypical options like mint green and hot pink.<\/p>\n\n

A basic black maxi dress can be a witchy wardrobe’s best friend, providing countless outfit opportunities. Accessorize it with jewelry, jackets, and belts to have a whole new look every day. And no witchy closet is ever really complete without some black lace. Sheer styles with deep v-necks and split hems provide sexy alternatives to a more basic cut.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nobody ever said that a witchy wardrobe can only be dark! (Just ask witchy style icon Stevie Nicks<\/a>.) Shades of white and cream will work into your closet with ease. Casual, beachy styles like a bohemian tassel-adorned maxi are perfect for running errands, while more structured, dressy designs will take you into night effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n

Purple and burgundy are excellent additions to any witchy wardrobe. Bring the drama with big bell sleeves, Renaissance-inspired vintage cuts, and modern hoodie minis.<\/p>\n\n

\nZhitunemi Medieval Renaissance Maxi Dress<\/a>
\nDressfo Hooded Sweater Dress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While lace is a core component of the witchy look, don’t stop there! Crushed velvet, fringe, and mesh will incorporate into your closet without issue.<\/p>\n\n

\nEleter V-Neck Lace Maxi Dress<\/a>
\nR.Vivimos Crushed Velvet Mini Dress<\/a>
\nVerdusa Fringe Lace Maxi Dress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And don’t forget the prints! Fabrics decorated with constellations, stars, moons, and suns are the perfect addition to any witchy wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n

Pictured above, left to right:
\nFloerns Plus Size Galaxy Print Dress<\/a>
\nFeaphy Retro Sun Moon High Low Dress<\/a>
\nHell Bunny Solaris Constellation Dress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mossy greens and jewel toned teals are excellent colors to mix into your closet. And a modern witchy wardrobe still looks to the past for inspiration, so vintage-inspired details like embroidery and ruffles are key elements to the look.<\/p>\n\n

\nAnna-Kaci Peasant Maiden Inspired Dress<\/a>
\nDokotoo V Neck Ruffle Mini Dress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And finally, look to vegan leather, puff sleeves, and smocked details to complete your witchy capsule wardrobe. Fill your closet with pieces you love, and your wardrobe will officially be a certified witchy one.<\/p>\n\n
