Okay, let’s talk about my favorite season: Fall. And yes, my absolute favorite holiday within it is Halloween! As a fashion editor, I love any excuse to express creativity through clothing, but as a hijabi, I often run into the same problem every October. Finding cute, modest, and genuinely hilarious Halloween apparel that isn’t just a skimpy costume is practically impossible. I want the spirit, the spook, and the sarcasm, all while keeping my layers intact. Seriously, the struggle to find the perfect tee that’s long enough, loose enough, and funny enough is real.

That’s why I was so thrilled when I stumbled across MatureLion. They don’t just do costume shirts; they do witty, comfortable apparel that you actually want to wear. I’m usually looking through the men’s section because the fit tends to be longer and looser, which is perfect for my modest layering style. Their collection of funny men’s shirts is where I start my search every year. They truly get that humor is the best accessory!

While my focus is obviously on finding the perfect fall look, I have to give a quick nod to their patriotic collections. The sheer volume of awesome designs they have, like their veterans day shirts, tells you a lot about their commitment to unique and niche graphic apparel. It’s comforting to know they cover all bases, from spooky puns to meaningful tributes like the Funny Veterans T-shirt designs. But back to the spooky stuff!

As soon as the weather drops below 70 degrees, I live in a sweatshirt. The best thing about MatureLion’s autumn collection is their funny halloween sweatshirts. They are the ideal layering piece. Not only do they keep you warm, but the graphics are fantastic for expressing my Halloween mood without needing any complicated accessories. A simple hoodie over a long skirt? Instant, modest, and effortless Halloween style!

Beyond the comfort of a hoodie, I also appreciate the sheer brilliance of their halloween graphic tees. These are the pieces that make you chuckle when you read them. I love throwing one of these over a long-sleeve layering top and pairing it with wide-leg pants. It’s an easy, casual look that works whether I’m running errands or attending a cozy autumn bonfire with friends. It’s the perfect uniform for the modern, busy woman who still wants to participate in the fun.

I’ve even peeked at some of the menswear just for styling inspiration. Their selection of henley shirts for men looks incredibly cozy—I might just buy one a few sizes up to wear as a super comfy, extra-long base layer under a jacket on a really chilly day. It’s all about creatively borrowing from different sections to meet those modesty and comfort requirements!

For maximum warmth when the nights get chilly, I love their heavier tops. The funny mens sweatshirts have that perfect, slightly oversized drape that works so well with a modest wardrobe. I often look for the washed or vintage-style graphics, as they add a cool, worn-in texture that feels effortlessly chic.

And finally, my favorite category: the thick, oversized tops. Their funny hoodies for men are fantastic. I treat these like a statement piece. Paired with a tailored denim maxi skirt and some chunky boots, it’s a high-fashion, low-effort Halloween ensemble. Now, let me share the four specific pieces that have made it onto my absolute must-buy list for this year.

My MatureLion Halloween 2025 Wishlist & Hijabi Style Guide

1. Halloween Waffle Knit Sweatshirt 

I adore the texture of a waffle knit! It adds richness and coziness, which is a key element of fall fashion. 

How I’ll Style It: I would pair this cozy knit with a solid black pleated maxi skirt and a pair of white chunky sneakers. The natural slouch of the waffle knit keeps the look casual, while the skirt maintains full modesty. I’ll wear a beige jersey hijab tucked neatly at the neck to complement the texture of the knit.

2. Pumpkin Chicken Fall DTG Washed T-shirt 

The name alone makes me laugh! The “Pumpkin Chicken” graphic is unique and unexpected—it’s funny without being overly spooky. 

How I’ll Style It: This tee is perfect for layering. I’ll wear a form-fitting, thin, long-sleeve black top underneath it (the sleeves peeking out is a great modest detail), and pair it with wide-leg corduroy trousers. A matching pumpkin-orange crinkle cotton hijab would complete this quirky, autumnal look.

3. Trip Salem Women Washed Hoodie 

A slightly lighter, witchy vibe is essential for Halloween. This hoodie is perfect for a weekend trip to a pumpkin patch or a ghost tour! 

How I’ll Style It: Since the hoodie is a statement piece, I’d keep the rest simple. I’ll layer this with thermal black leggings and hiking boots. A thick, dark grey knit beanie worn over a snug jersey undercap provides warmth and maintains modesty, making the look functional and fashionable.

4. Darkest Brew Women Washed Sweatshirt 

A chic, slightly washed dark color is always trending for fall. The “Darkest Brew” graphic is subtle, witty, and perfectly fitting for my morning coffee ritual (or maybe a late-night tea!). 

How I’ll Style It: I would style this sweatshirt with straight-leg denim that has a slightly distressed hem. Underneath, I’d wear a crisp white button-down shirt, letting the collar and the cuffs peek out from under the sweatshirt. This layering trick adds a polished, editorial touch to the casual sweatshirt, creating an elegant, modesty-forward look.
