Four stylish ways to get in the Halloween spirit
Whether
you’re taking your children tick-or-treating, handing out sweets at home or
heading to a party, the time has come to consider your haunting Halloween look.
But what
if you don’t fancy covering yourself in fake blood or worse, dressing as a
come-hither cop?
Not everyone
wants to embrace a full-on costume for Halloween but there’s a fine line
between getting in the seasonal spirit and looking like you’ve totally bailed
out.
Luckily we
have the perfect stylish solutions, whatever your plans might be.
One of the
easiest ways to strike the perfect balance between ghoulish and girly is with a
classic LBD, which, let’s face it, most of us already own.
An option
that will work just as well in your winter wardrobe as it will to channel your
inner Lydia Deetz or Morticia Addams, you can choose to salvage an old party
outfit or invest in something new.
Either way,
make sure yours is black all over and vaulting in velvet or lace for extra
impact.
If a dress
is out of the question you also have the option of a novelty jumper or T-shirt;
that’s right, they’re not just for Christmas.
Lots of high
street retailers are offering slogan tops emblazoned with tongue-in-cheek
phrases like “Witch, Please” or “Boo”, but if you’d rather invest in something
more chic Chinti & Parker has got you covered
A luxury
knitwear brand that specialises in cashmere goodness, this season it has
everything from spooky slogan sweaters that read “Abracadabra” to star-spangled
motifs.
Instead of
buying a costly costume, you can also add an alternative accessory to your
day-to-day look; an option well suited to workplace parties.
From ornate
gothic chokers to floral crowns, fancy face masks and decorative tights, these
are a great choice if you don’t want to spend too much money or look like
you’ve tried too hard.
Similarly,
opting for a vampy makeup look will allow you to tap into your dark side
without too much effort. For something sultry a smoky eye and spiky lashes will
suffice, while those who want to make more of an impact should consider a
darker pout with shades like Huda Beauty’s Vixen or Fenty Beauty’s Stunna
Lip Paint in Uninvited.
