Review: Dumbgood's Scream Lounge Wear Is Scary Good

Review: Dumbgood’s Scream Lounge Wear Is Scary Good

If you’re like me, a true horror, then you probably love wearing items that promote your favorite movies. Dumbgood.com’s got everything you want and more. Recently I did a write-up about their Scream merch and decided to try it out myself. I have to say I’m impressed. I got the complete Ghostface “repeat mask” lounge set, a hat, and a bag. The shirt ($42) is cropped and has long sleeves. It runs a bit small, so I advise ordering up at least one size. It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing it while you are sitting around watching horror movies or if you pair it with jeans, it’s cute. The shorts, which run $52, are almost knee-length on me, but I’m short, five-foot even to be exact. I will say that they are super comfy! The material is soft after one wash, and the image on the fabric doesn’t fade. The hat is perfect, not too big and not too small.
