Halloween themed clothing doesn’t have to mean full on costumes that are reserved for the night of October 31st.
High street shops now roll out festive items whenever they can, and even though it’s all a bit of a money making scheme, we can’t help but fall for it.
Simple, spooky accents on clothes make Autumn dressing that bit more fun and the Halloween theme much more wearable.
Keep the witches hat and devil horns in the fancy dress drawer and opt for something more subtle instead. Black is usually the colour of choice, but deep purples or greens work well to add an air of darkness to your outfit.
Jumpers and T-shirts designed with bats, spider webs and Halloween slogans can be found everywhere this October and are probably the easiest form of Halloween fashion. Topshop and Asos have some pretty fancy designs, but if you’d rather not splash out on something you won’t get to wear too much, Primark is always a good shout.
Dark makeup is another great way to add some Halloween to your day-time look. Purple lipstick is probably the most popular choice, but why not dare to try a black lip colour? If eyeshadow is more your thing, pair a dark smoky eye with minimal face makeup and a nude lip to make it more wearable for the day.
If you really want to have some fun and aren’t bothered by a few weird looks in the street, why not take things one step further?
Quirky accessories may only be for the brave but they can work well if you wear them with confidence. Think cat ear headbands, crazy tights and temporary tattoos to add some dress up to the daytime. If these are a bit much for you, then try a more subtle approach with dramatic jewellery or patterned nails.
Whether you’re a ‘trick or treat’ fan or would rather just ignore the event altogether, you can still get into the Halloween spirit while remaining stylish.
