A Few Things To Buy For Halloween That Won't Look Like Fancy Dress Afterwards
1 of 11The Ultimate Non Cringe Halloween Outfit Shopping Guide
Halloween is without any doubt the best event of the year. What's not to love about a day where you can channel your inner goth, dress head to toe in black (who doesn’t look good in black?) and accessorise with fake blood and various body parts?□□But there is another way, too. Think of it as the French, too-cool-to-care-girl approach to Halloween. It’s low-key and chic and consists of actual clothes bought from real fashionable shops that look great on 31 October, but still have life in them in November, April and even June.□□Think T-shirts with fun motifs, skull jewellery and statement clutch bags and there's plenty of them in the shops right now. Here’s ten of the best.□□Follow Elin on Twitter @ElinJEvans
2 of 11Cath Kidston spider sweater, £65
A crochet spider is possibly the least scary arachnid you’ll meet, but we love the bright orange hue of this jumper. Pair with a black leather skirt and heels – perfect.
3 of 11Zoe Karssen bat T-shirt, £60
Zoe Karssen has updated her great line of bat-motif T-shirts with a striped version which will look great for dressed down celebrations. It’s like Batman went to Brittany.
4 of 11Tatty Devine Day Of The Dead ring, £30
Celebrate Día de los Muertos with this laser cut ring from Tatty Devine.
5 of 11Daisy Knights skull hoop earrings, £105
Delicate enough to wear every day, we’re finding it hard to resist these hoop earrings from jeweller Daisy Knights.
6 of 11Falconwright leather ouija clutch, £55
Not only does this cool clutch contain your phone, purse and keys, but it’s the evening’s entertainment, too.
7 of 11Mara & Mine embroidered suede dress slippers, £295
Cooler than a ballet pump, these suede slippers are verging on Hugh Hefner territory (in a good way). Dressing gown optional
8 of 11Sandro printed dress, £220
We really love this Sandro dress with doodle print, we’ll be wearing it layered with a white tee, leather jacket and ankle boots.
9 of 11Helene Berman cat hat, £78
Wear Helene Berman’s hat with heavy liquid eyeliner and high heels. Purrfect.
10 of 11Marques’Almeida x Topshop shredded denim coat, £175
We want the whole Marques’Almeida x Topshop collection, but this shredded denim coat is exquisite.
11 of 11H&M bat clutch, £3.99
It’s made from rubber and it’s the shape of a bat who’s swallowed a bowling ball – we love it.
But there is another way too. Think of it as the French, too-cool-to-care-girl approach to Halloween. It’s low-key and chic and consists of actual clothes bought from real fashionable shops that look great on October 31st, but still have life in them in November, April and even June.
Think T-shirts with fun motifs, skull jewellery and statement clutch bags and there's plenty of them in the shops right now. Here's ten of the best.
