Hogwarts Houses: Slytherin to the Top

Don't you love bad puns? I sure do...

Anyways, it's time for the last post in my series of fashion inspired by the Hogwarts Houses. Slytherins are known for being cunning, ambitious, and leaning towards the Dark Side. The most well-known Slytherins are Draco Malfoy and Lord Voldemort himself. Their colors are green and silver. It is my favorite house, and I tried not to let that influence this post too much, but I feel like it may have a little bit XD

First off, I want to say that there's going to be a lot of black in this post, since I feel like it's kind of the unofficial third color of that house. I know this is probably just due to the movies influencing me, but I think it fits overall with the feel of Slytherin.

I love, love, love these boots. Too bad I could never pull them off. Like Ravenclaw, I definitely see Slytherins as stepping it up a notch when it comes to fashion. After all, a lot of them come from families with money (and lots of it). I added the sunglasses, because it makes me think "VIP" (they're aptly named). Also, I provided two tank tops, in case you're not comfortable with the sheer back (from the front it looks like it's just plain black).

Wet Seal: Cardigan


This look is pretty simple, but I thought the bag was a nice touch. It's got a subtle bow, that you wouldn't necessarily expect (Slytherins aren't exactly known for being warm and fuzzy), but I thought it worked.

Wet Seal: Tube Dress
Old Navy: Cardigan


For this look, I took two different directions-- sweet and sexy. Slytherin is represented by the snake on the Hogwarts crest, so the dress from Wet Seal is perfect. However, if that's not your style, I added a sweet dress from American Eagle. Then I found accessories that could potentially work for either outfit.

Wet Seal: Top

I want this entire outfit. I love leggings and flats and I just need this outfit. For those of you who aren't quite as vertically challenged as me (I'm 5'0"), you can swap out the leggings for skinny jeans or wear it with a dress in order to make sure you're covered up enough.

Here's the mishmash of things that I loved, but didn't put in an outfit.

Well, that's it for fashion inspired by the Hogwarts houses. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
