Dark Shadows-inspired style
Set in the '70s, the Dark Shadow's wardrobe took us all back to a much groovier time. Before you get your hands on a DVD of Dark Shadows, now in stores, SheKnows is here to help you steal the looks of these groovy characters from the past and make them modern.
Carolyn Stoddard
Carolyn is a typical teenage girl. She’s the rebel with a loud attitude and look to match.
Get Carolyn’s look using items that call out for attention . Don’t be afraid of color! Start with royal purple leggings or tights like these sparkly purple pantyhose from American Apparel. Dare to be bold with a purple sweater. Try this purple peplum sweater from ASOS. Pair both with a black skirt and you're on your way to rebel-chic.
For a more mellow spin on Carolyn’s wardrobe, exude some flower power with a top similar to this H&M chiffon blouse . Though the consensus says bell bottoms are a thing of the past, opt for boot cut jeans, like these Sweetheart ones at Old Navy.

Dark Shadows-
inspired style
Set in the '70s, the Dark Shadow's wardrobe took us all back to a much groovier time. Before you get your hands on a DVD of Dark Shadows, now in stores, SheKnows is here to help you steal the looks of these groovy characters from the past and make them modern.
Victoria Winters
Barnabas Collins’ love interest, Victoria is what Barnabas is not: pure, innocent and young. And her delicate, feminine style reflects just that.
These shoes were a hallmark of the '60s and '70s, but these patent Fitzwell Lorelei pumps make Mary Janes decade appropriate.
To emulate Victoria’s look, go for pieces that feature feminine details, like a floral print or tie-neck dress. This Eliza J Butterfly Sleeve dress is a modern spin that’s still reminiscent of something she’d wear, and this Prized Plants dress from ModCloth is as girly as it gets.

Angelique Bouchard
She’s sexy, well-dressed and a witch with a 200 year old vengeance. Angelique has one goal in mind: to seduce Barnabas, her unrequited love. Steal Angelique’s style and look dominant yet tempting at the same time.
Angelique is not afraid to turn up the heat by showing some skin. This Art Deco skirt from Express does just that, plus the sequins add glamour, a la Angelique. Make your legs go the extra mile in these Burlison boots from Aldo. They're sure to bring out your inner wild side. A white blouse is a go-to item for any chic woman, and you can find yours at The Limited for $47. It can be dressed down, or in Angelique’s case, dressed up.
Not only is this sequin dress daring, but it's blood red. Not to mention it will keep you warm on those crisper nights when all eyes will be on you.

Dr. Julia Hoffman
Dr. Julia Hoffman is supposed to be the person making the Collins family less kooky, but she’s a bit of an oddball herself. Luckily for her, we adore her funky flair.
Dr. Hoffman is all about psychedelic prints, and we are too. Mimic her look with the Paisley Print Blouse dress or Techno Stripe Bow Neck Blouse Dress , both at Loft.
Dr. Hoffman is usually characterized as the drunken psych that hides her hangover behind big sunnies. These Mossimo sunglasses from Target are good for that, but even better for blocking out the sun when you’re soberly out and about, too.

Barnabas Collins
When vampire Barnabas awakens in 1972, he fails to leave his 18th century wardrobe in, well, the 18th century. Instead of dissing him for being centuries behind the times, we draw menswear-for-women inspiration from his look.
While Barnabas keeps it colonial with a hint of goth, we recommend copying his style by wearing tailored items. Create the three-piece suit look with a pant, blazer and vest combo. We like Gap’s straight pants and Ponte academy blazer and this Rubbish Trench Crop Vest from Nordstrom.

Elizabeth Collins Stoddard
Matriarch Elizabeth is the driving force of the family, and not even her evil rival Angelique can stand in her way. Feminine silhouettes and gothic tones come together in Elizabeth’s style, and it isn’t too hard to copy either.
Don’t be spooked by dark, old-fashioned fabrics. Take velvet out of the Dark Ages by wearing it in a modern manner. This American Apparel velvet dress does the trick.
Elizabeth is always striking but modest with pieces that have sheer overlay in all the right places. Stick to darker hues and vintage-style dresses like this swing dress at Anthropologie. This mesh panel dress from Love Culture is a little sexier, but it has classically black lace — an Elizabeth must — and sheer mesh down the arms to tone it down a little.
