Olen Purple Witch Hat with Gold Stars for Women, One Size

A purple witch hat that does most of the costume work

This purple witch hat has gold star accents and is made for adult women. Put it on over a black dress, a cape, or jeans and a dark top, and the outfit reads as a witch from across the room. The purple and gold give a softer, more whimsical look than an all-black hat, closer to a storybook witch than a spooky one.

What you get

One polyester witch hat, purple with gold stars. Nothing else is included: no wig, nose, broom or costume. Height, brim width and inner band measurements aren't listed for this hat, so check the product photos for proportions before you plan the rest of the outfit around it.

Witch hat sizing: one size fits most adults

The hat is labeled one size fits most and is designed for adult women. Without a published band measurement, a few things are worth knowing. If your hair is worn up or very full, the hat sits higher; if your head is on the small side, it may sit low over the brow.

Simple fixes for a loose hat: tuck a folded strip of felt or tissue inside the band at the back, or anchor it with two bobby pins through the inner band into your hair. For a hat that perches too high on thick hair, wear your hair down or in a low bun beneath the brim.

It isn't sized for children. For a toddler or young child, a child-size costume hat will fit better and stay on more easily.

Building the rest of the witch costume

• Base: a black or deep purple dress, or a black top and skirt
• Layer: a cape, shawl or long cardigan
• Face: a green latex witch nose for the classic storybook profile
• Hand prop: a blue-orb wizard staff prop in place of a broom
• Feet: black boots or striped tights

Purple and gold pair well with black, deep green or more purple. Repeating the gold in a belt, jewelry or eye makeup ties the outfit to the stars on the hat. Our witch costume accessories guide covers hats, noses and broom-free prop ideas in more detail.

Where to wear it

Halloween parties, trick-or-treating with the kids, office costume days, themed parties, cosplay meetups and photo booths. Because it's a single accessory, it also works as a last-minute costume: the hat plus dark clothes you already own makes a recognizable witch.

Care and storage

Spot clean with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, which can soften the cone and crease the brim. Store it in a box with tissue paper stuffed into the crown so the point and brim keep their shape until next Halloween.

Who should pick something else

Skip it if you need a child-size hat, a classic all-black witch hat, or exact measurements to match a specific head size.
