Unamused. Unabashed. Undead? The nonchalant vampire takes a modern twist on the traditional aesthetic of vampirism, transforming it into the embodiment of cool, sexy and intimidating without trying too hard. Give these style suggestions a try and embrace the dark side this fall season.

  • GOLD JEWELRY: Silver’s a little too pure, so it’s safer to stick with gold. Really brings out your teeth, don’t you think?

  • CARDIGANS: The times, they are a-changing. So, capes are out. That’s fine. You do cardigans now, but not quite like a mortal high school English teacher.

  • COMFORTABLE SHOES: Life is too long for uncomfortable shoes. Wear those clogs, those sneakers, those flip-flops, even. After centuries of roaming the earth, comfort is king.

  • AIR-DRIED HAIR: Is that Jane Birkin? Oh wait—that’s just you and your bed head. You didn't even have to try. Well, actually, most vampires live in remote castles with bad plumbing and no water softener, so that helps.

  • THIN RIMMED SUNGLASSES: So everyone knows you’re the coolest in the room. Oh, and also it’s a throwback to the Victorian style sunglasses Gary Oldman wore in the 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

  • DENTAL FLOSS: Nothing ruins a mysterious persona faster than having food in your teeth. Always carry dental floss, because you never know when you’re gonna need to bear your fangs.
