Halloween

Halloween

With such a range of activities to take part in it can be hard to start deciding what to wear for Halloween! Perhaps you don't get involved with the festivities of the American holiday but want to add a touch of spooky glamour to your usual outfits. We've gathered together a selection of our favourite styles for different occasions to get you through fright night, whether you're apple bobbing and trick or treating, or dancing the night away with your fellow ghosts and ghouls.

If subtlety is more your thing, a nod to the season can have you joining in with the Halloween spirit without going overboard. Ornate patterns and intricate Gothic lace add a touch of vampire chic to any outfit, and are also ideal for grown up parties and nights out. This style can also be worn for work, perfect for those being encouraged to take part in fancy dress days! Pair with all black clothing and red lipstick to transform yourself into the next Morticia Addams.

Those with children may want to add a fun, silly element to their outfits and costumes this Halloween. Block shades of bright orange, purple and green can add a dash of bold colour to an outfit, making it instantly child friendly and perfect for trick or treating. Cartoon images and prints are the ideal way to incorporate spookier themes without being frightening or ominous, while anything with cats, bats, pumpkins or skeletons can really set the tone. Our favourite style of the season is our fabulously frightful Escaping Ghost Tights by Pamela Man, with a motif of adorable little spectres that glow in the dark!

Tights can also be the perfect way to add a finishing touch to your costumes and outfits - and its all in the detail. A Witch without her striped hosiery is just a woman in black. A Vampiress would be incomplete without cobweb accessories. These final flourishes can transform your outfit into a real showstopper, and Halloween is a fantastic excuse to go all out. However, tights can also be used as the main attraction by selecting a certain theme or pattern and building your outfit around it. For example our Halloween Skeleton Tights or Harlequin Tights (both below) can be worn simply with your favourite LBD and matching make up for a quick Clown or Skeleton costume! The possibilities are endless.
