Cute Halloween Costumes (That Are Normal Clothes Too!)

Categories Fashion, , , , , , 34 Comments on Cute Halloween Costumes (That Are Normal Clothes Too!)

Hello, gorgeous souls.

I hope you’re all getting ready for Halloween. Lining up your parties, watching dead-girl makeup tutorials on Youtube, maybe even going to a pumpkin patch and picking you a Jack-o-lantern . . .

Me and Halloween . . . oh sweet Jesus, my body is ready. (It’s actually genuinely not – Halloween this year is going to be an epic rollercoaster of overnight raves and parties and my body is most certainly not ready for the abuse. I’m so excited.)

In case you missed the itenary for this year (if you did, it’s in my October Bullet Journal + Events post) so far the Halloween celebrations I’m hitting are:

  • Day of the dead party – Saturday 21st October-Sunday 22nd done it, was awesome
  • Day of The Dead Boat Party – Friday 27th-Saturday 28th
  • Thorpe Park Fright Night – Saturday 28th
  • Ministry of Sound Halloween Rave – Tuesday 31st October

That’s 4 events (so far – what about normal Halloween parties? What about the 29th and the 30th? There’s still time . . . still additional possibilities!) . . . which means 4 outfits. And, yes, I’m aware that I could reuse outfits . . . but there’s only one time of year where I’m given free license to dress up and I am damn well making use of it.

That being said . . .

If I’m investing in a bunch of Halloween outfits, I’d like to be able to wear them more than once. Right? I mean, a sexy little black dress can easily double up as date night and vampire chic. So today I set out with the humble goal of finding Halloween costumes that you can also wear throughout the rest of the year.

And, hey – if you aren’t celebrating Halloween, maybe just treat yourself to a new dress.

#1 – Sale Finds

Now, nothing screams “yes – it’s totally acceptable for you to buy this!” like a sale find. A nice, cheap dress for £15? You’d really be wasting money by not buying it. So our first Halloween outfits are going to be off the sale rack. Oh, and if you like this section you’re going to love the last one – where I share my £10 and under finds!

#2 – Velvet

Velvet, you beautiful fabric. You’re brilliantly fashionable (and warm) for the autumn and winter months . . . and suitably witchy for a Halloween costume! Paired with some mystical accessories, a velvet dress is an instantly gothic costume – that you can whip out again when the Christmas parties swing round.

I'm going through a bit of an existential crisis right now, I'll tell you about myself when I figure out if I'm real or not.

  4. Seriously needed this inspo, thanks girl!! I feel you with not wanting to buy lots of outfits that you’ll literally only wear once – making your own based on what you already have or clothes you can buy and reuse for everyday is such a great idea ✨🎃

  14. I once had a friend with a very consistent manner of dress so for Halloween I went to a party I dressed up as him and performed poems that were versions of his but rewritten to be funny. He was standing in the back as our friends laughed and laughed and he took it really well.
