Halloween is fast approaching and, if you’re anything like me, you’ll have left your outfit until the last minute. (Oops.)
But as we get older and we may no longer have the funds, time or energy to dress up as our favourite scary characters, what are you supposed to wear for that Halloween night OUT out you’ve got coming up or your friend’s spooky-themed house party?
Step forward, these Halloween fashion must-haves.
Every item on this list will help you get into the sinister spirit without breaking the bank or having to put loads of effort in when you’re already living the busiest of lives. Plus, you can wear them for many more Halloweens to come!
Comfy Casuals
Halloween fashion 101: comfy essentials that you can just throw on in a hurry and still look fang-tastic. (I do apologise for the sheer amount of Halloween puns you’re going to come across in this article!)
These picks can be integrated into your everyday wardrobe to nod to Halloween without being too horror-fying. (There’s another one!)
1. ASOS Charcoal ET Oversized Sweatshirt
First things first, this super comfy oversized ASOS ET Sweatshirt* would be a super cute addition to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe.
Whether you downplay it with jeans and a pair of Converse or rock it with some black and white trousers Beetlejuice-style, it’ll add some playful nostalgia to your Halloween fashion repertoire.
2. Marks & Spencer Star Print Midaxi Dress
Even though summer is over, midaxi dresses are still reigning supreme on the style scene.
Personally, I’m loving the cosmic prints creeping in just in time for the Halloween build-up. Star-t as you mean to go on with this Marks & Spencer Star Print Midaxi Dress*. Throw on a snugly sweater and heeled boots for a cosy, smart-casual aesthetic.
3. Etsy Halloween Pumpkin T-Shirt
The easiest way to tap into Halloween fashion is with an evil-inspired tee.
For instance, this Etsy Pumpkin T-Shirt* is proper sassy when paired with high-waisted jeans, a knitted oversized cardigan and boots. It also comes in multiple colours.
That said, if you really want to amp up the ante, swap the jeans for a black leather A-line skirt and add a bold blood-red lip.
4. ASOS Glitter Cobweb Tights
Want to show your love for Halloween fashion without going overboard? No worries – just opt for a boo-tiful accessory instead.
For example, these ASOS Glitter Cobweb Tights* are an eery way to add a touch of glamour to your casualwear. Team them with a pleated skirt and rich-hued jumper to stand out for all the right reasons.
Alternatively, you could team them with a Halloween-y tee and heeled boots for the ultimate killer combo. Heh.
Smart-Casual Cuties
If you’re still a little apprehensive about going OUT out, I totally get it. The good news is that you can stay IN in and wear one of these cuties for your own private Halloween party.
Just dress them up with a layered necklace, stacked bracelets, statement earrings and chunky rings if you’re having a Halloween Zoom with loved ones.
5. New Look Black Crochet Collar Tiered Smock Dress
Channel your inner Wednesday Addams with this New Look Black Smock Dress* with a high neckline and peter pan collar.
Pair it with metallic heels, gothic jewellery and slicked back hair for Halloween elegance that will really give them pumpkin to talk about.
6. ISAWITFIRST Bat Mesh Long Sleeved Bodysuit
For a sexier Halloween look, I’m going batty for this ISAWITFIRST Long Sleeved Bodysuit*. You can team it with black sequin hotpants or a faux-leather skirt and heels to amp up the attitude.
However, if you want to take the sauciness down a notch, simply add high-waisted jeans, boots and a chic blazer. And then get ready to dance to the Monster Mash.
7. ISAWITFIRST Black Vinyl Skinny Leg Corset Jumpsuit
When paired with a pointy black hat, stiletto heels and a fake broomstick, this thrilling ISAWITFIRST Corset Jumpsuit* is a contemporary take on a classic Halloween costume.
You could even use it for a dark bunny, angel or fairy outfit – the choices are endless! Either way, it guarantees that you will be called anything but a basic witch.
8. ASOS Design Bodycon Dress With Devil Graphic
Feeling devilish? If so, this ASOS Design Devil Graphic Bodycon Dress* is the perfect pioneering piece for your Halloween event. It would be flirtatiously feminine when teamed with barely-there heels, sparkly earrings and a bite-sized clutch.
Alternatively, you could add stompy boots, purple eyeshadow and black lipstick to toughen up the ensemble for date night or drinks with the girls.
9. ISAWITFIRST Pink Check Skater Skirt
An absolute steal for just a tenner, this nineties-inspired ISAWITFIRST Pink Check Skirt* is giving me all of the Clueless vibes for Halloween this year.
Pair yours with either a long-sleeved top or jumper and heeled boots for a look that could even make Cher envious.
Spine-Chilling Accessories
It wouldn’t quite feel like Halloween if you didn’t break out a spine-chilling accessory or two. The following jewellery pieces will put a touch of ghoul on any Halloween outfit.
10. Topshop Statement Stone Cross Drop Earrings
Not really a fan of Halloween? That’s okay!
However, if you did want to take part in the occasion in the tiniest way, embrace all things gothic in the form of crucifix jewellery or accessories. For instance, these Topshop Cross Drop Earrings* make a serious style statement for work or play.
11. ISAWITFIRST Black Lace Top Fishnet Stockings
If you need something to wear under a Halloween-influenced mini skirt or dress, look no further than these ISAWITFIRST Fishnet Stockings*. They’re easy to slip on, comfortable and can add some much-needed skele-fun to your festive outfit.
12. Missguided Silver Look Rhinestone Ribbon Choker
Last but not least, check out this unearthly Missguided Silver Look Rhinestone Choker* that can serve as the ideal finishing touch to your fa-boo-lous Halloween look.
Sure, it might not be the most practical jewellery piece, but it’s just as pretty as it is petrifying for the 31st of October and beyond.
Halloween Fashion That Is Sure to Haunt You
There are so many heavenly (or should we say hellish) Halloween fashion pieces on the high street at the moment. The best thing about them is that you can invest in them for Halloween and then continue to wear them throughout the cold season year after year!
