Ideas To DIY Your Holly Golightly Sleep Outfit from Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Breakfast at Tiffany’s Book
I first recommend that you carry a Breakfast at Tiffany’s book. (Or, at least read it to get into character!)
It’s one of my favorite books of all time. It’s also very short, so if you haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for?! It’s mesmerizing and unforgettable.

Tuxedo Sleep Shirt, Sleep Mask, and Tassel Earplugs
Next, you will need a tuxedo sleep shirt for the main piece of your costume. I found several great options of varying prices on Amazon, including the one I am wearing above. I’m 5’4″ and the length was fine on me.
Aside from a sleep shirt, a “Tiffany blue” sleep mask and tassel earplugs are quintessential parts of this particular Halloween costume.
Brown Wig
If you don’t have brown hair like Holly Golightly and want her hair aesthetic, this brown wig fits the bill.
Slippers
You can experiment with what kind of slippers to wear with your costume. I found several affordable options on Amazon, like these super-soft slippers, which get rave reviews and come in a variety of colors!
Note: When I wore this costume, I wore Birdies sophisticated slipper shoes. I have several pairs, including the ones with the big pom on them, and they are very comfortable both indoors and outdoors. I recommend that you size up 1/2 size.
“Cat”
Lastly, if you really want a “next level” costume, carry a stuffed animal of Holly’s orange tabby “cat with no name.”
