In the city that never sleeps, you can certainly assume that Halloween is a big ordeal among its citizens. Of course, it’s a holiday all about nighttime (on brand), but it’s also the one night you can be whoever you want to be and eat as many candies as you once did when you were little. What’s not to love? However, when it comes to costumes, certain ones get tiring fast. Cat ears, a witch, and a nurse? All of NYC’s cool girls have been there and done that. Now, it’s all about other costumes that are just as easy and cool. Think alter egos highlighted with neon wigs, your favorite big-screen leading lady, throwbacks that don’t fall into the cliché box, and more. Ahead, see what we mean as we highlight what Halloween trends NYC girls vouch for.

Now there’s no excuse to bring out your cat ears this year!

Nothing says fall like a new pair of jeans—well, except those polarizing pumpkin spice lattes, but I digress. I’m moving away from the lightweight denim I relied on all summer in favor of something more substantial. (After all, your legs can’t wear a coat, so denim that’s thin enough to ward off the chilly air is essential.) Enter Mott and Bow’s new non-stretch mom jeans. I’ve long been a fan of the direct-to-consumer brand’s skinny jeans and stretchy mom jeans, but its latest iteration is perhaps my favorite yet.

Featuring a moderately high rise, cropped length, and authentic medium-dark wash, the jeans are just worn in enough to pass for a vintage pair. These are the jeans I’ll be wearing with cropped cardigans, T-shirts, ankle boots, sneakers, and oversize blazers alike this fall. They’re well worth the reasonable $108 price tag and more. Shop the jeans and check out a few perfect fall jean outfits to inspire you below.

John Rambo has ditched his his army green muscle shirt (or lack thereof), cargo pants and combat boots for leather chaps, shitkickers and a cowboy hat. Seriously. 

At least, it looks that way based on an Instagram photo Sylvester Stallone posted to celebrate the first day of filming Rambo 5. 

The post quickly racked up 315,000-plus likes, so western Sly followed it up with a shot of himself on horseback. The caption reads, “Comes a Horseman Wild and Free,” which is a line from the song “Don Quixote” by folk music legend Gordon Lightfoot. 

The 72-year-old action movie star has used Instagram to hype Rambo 5 multiple times over the last few months in between Creed 2 announcements. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stallone confirmed that Rambo 5 is due out in fall of 2019. 

We can’t wait to see Sly draw fifth blood.
