If it’s one thing we know for sure about spooky season, it’s that dressing up is still just as exciting as when we were kids.
Something has changed since our trick-or-treat days, though: we’re no longer wanting to spend a small fortune on costumes that will be thrown into the dustbin November 1st. So, if you’re looking to construct a Halloween outfit with pieces you’ll wear again and again, check out the guide below. We’ve ditched the fake blood, plastic fangs and face paint, and created some stylish, spook-tacular looks with pieces from our favourite luxury brands.
Halloween, but make it luxury.
Let’s go!
Heaven Sent
If you’d prefer to sparkle than scare this year, take a look at our angel outfit. The linen dress is cut with angel sleeves (we’re going to wear ours next summer, too!) and the white Reiss heels will make dancefloor moments divine. Just add the shimmering rose-gold accessories (including the adorable angel wing earrings) and you’ll look truly heavenly.
Vamped Up
We told you we’d ditched the fake blood, and we meant it – instead, we’ve vampified this all-black ensemble with a Lulu Guinness lips bag and a sexy red lipstick. And, as every vampire needs a cape when they step out at night, we’ve added an elegant crepe shawl from Gina Bacconi.
A Real Patch
We bet you weren’t expecting a luxury take on a pumpkin costume, but here it is! This vibrant orange Boden dress will ensure you’re the prettiest in the patch. And for the “stalk”, we’ve put together some co-ordinating green accessories from Mango, Bella Blanco & Liv Oliver. We guess you’ll be able to stay out past midnight after all…
