18 of the Cutest Halloween Sweatshirts for Adults

One of the best things about Halloween, aside from all the candy of course, is being able to dress up in costume. When we become parents, we don't typically get to go all out on our Halloween ideas. We use all our creative juices to help our kids with their costumes, but we deserve some fun, too. One of the best ways to get into the spooky spirit is to spruce up our outfit with a festive Halloween sweater.

We've seen Christmas sweaters and we're all about them because it allows us to put some extra holiday spirit into the day. So, why not do the same for Halloween? The weather is the perfect excuse to wear one as the days get chillier but it's not quite cold enough for a jacket. All those elements combine to give us the ultimate excuse to start shopping for cute Halloween sweatshirts for us.

For parents who are looking to add a little pizazz into their wardrobe, here are 18 of the cutest Halloween sweatshirts we've found to get everyone into the spooky spirit.

Hocus Pocus is one of those Halloween movies that we can watch over and over and fall in love every time.

This sweater comes with two different sayings on them and one or the other — or both — would be great to wear all month.
