2023 Costume Guide: Medieval and Pop Culture Costume Ideas
Stand out from the trick-or-treating crowd this year with a costume from Medieval Collectibles! Not sure what to be this year? We’ve got some Halloween costume ideas to inspire your next outfit! From new takes on classic fantasy and horror costumes to unique ways to show off your favorite pop culture characters this year, you’ll find everything you need to haunt your 2023 Halloween costume events in style.
Unique Wednesday Addams Halloween Costume Ideas
First up, Wednesday Addams remains the queen of gothic Halloween costume ideas for the second year in a row. The Wednesday Netflix show took a new approach to the character, and so are we. Here’s what we think Wednesday Addams would wear if she shopped at Medieval Collectibles.
Our Amelia Victorian Ensemble would make a great costume for Wednesday’s ancestor, Goody Addams. Then, easily pair that with our Victorian Ankle Booties. And these versatile Victorian boots can double as footwear for a modern or medieval take on Wednesday Addams.

LOTR & Hobbit Costumes
Next up, we’re taking things There and Back Again with the Lord of the Rings costumes. Tolkien’s masterpieces never go out of style, and especially not here at Medieval Collectibles. After all, we are the best place to shop for all things medieval and fantasy, so it’s only natural that we’ve got ways to take your LOTR costume to the next level.
First, we’ll start with the perfect cloak. Whether dressing as the mysterious Strider, a brave halfling, or everyone’s favorite grey wizard, we’ve got the cloak for you. With its shorter length, the Niko Mantle Cloak is perfect for halflings. Then our Gora Canvas Cloak works well for other members of the Fellowship. We also offer a Wizard Robe and Cloak Set that is perfect for any wandering mages.

The Witcher Cosplays
If you’d prefer a medieval fantasy costume with a bit more edge, we’ve got what you need to cosplay as The Witcher, of Netflix, CD Project Red, and novel fame. Whichever version of the Witcher you prefer, you’ll find must-haves for most Geralt cosplays here.
Embody Geralt from The Witcher III with The Witcher III Decorative Silver Sword and The Witcher III Decorative Steel Sword. Or channel Henry Cavill as Netflix’s Butcher of Blaviken by wielding the Netflix Witcher Steel Sword and Netflix Witcher Silver Sword.
Of course, a Witcher is more than just their weapons. Represent Kaer Morhen with the Witcher School of the Wolf Necklace. Channel his layered, studded leather look with our Knights Leather Spaulders, Leather War Vest, or Woodsman Suede Brigandine Armour. As Geralt of Rivia wears different armour sets throughout the game, we’ve got plenty of options for building unique takes on a lot of his outfits. Check out all our leather armour, steel armour, and chainmail for inspiration! And don’t forget to keep your two swords close at hand with one of our sword back harnesses.

Another way to bring the characters from the Witcher to life is with colorful doublets that look straight out of Jaskier’s (or Dandelion’s) wardrobe, such as the Joerg Landsknecht Doublet or Elegant Baroque Doublet. Don’t forget the hat! Top off that look with something like our Tudor Flat Cap or Mens Renaissance Hat.
