Gothic Glam Black Dress

A black dress is one of the easiest ways to create a Halloween look without buying a traditional costume.
Choose a fitted mini, ruched bodycon or mesh-detail dress, then add black heels, silver jewellery and darker makeup. This gives you a Halloween-ready outfit that you can still wear for nights out and parties after October.

Glam Vampire

Give the classic vampire look a glamorous update with a red, burgundy, wine or black fitted dress.
Corset details, satin finishes and bodycon silhouettes work particularly well. Finish the outfit with a dark red lip, smoky eye makeup, statement jewellery and black heels.

Dark Fairy

If you want something more glamorous than scary, a dark-fairy look is an easy Halloween option.

Start with a black mesh dress, corset top or fitted mini skirt. Add metallic jewellery, dramatic eye makeup and wings if you want to make the theme more obvious.

Mesh and sheer detailing give the outfit a darker feel without requiring a full costume.

Complete your dark fairy look with our Mesh Dresses and Corset Tops for sheer, statement and after-dark styles.

Halloween Rave Outfit

Heading to a Halloween rave, warehouse night or club event?

Build your look around mesh, neon, cut-outs, metallic finishes or statement co-ords.

A rave-inspired Halloween outfit gives you more freedom than a traditional costume. Think bold colour, fitted separates, sheer layers and pieces that are comfortable enough for dancing.

Devil-Inspired Red Outfit

You don't need to buy a complete devil costume.

A bold red mini or bodycon dress gives you most of the look already. Add black heels, devil horns, dark accessories and a strong red lip.

It is an easy Halloween outfit that can still be worn again after the event.

Y2K Halloween Outfit

Give Halloween a Y2K twist with a mini skirt, fitted crop top, metallic accessories and statement shoes.

Use black and silver for a darker look, or bring in neon, pink or blue for something more playful.

This type of outfit works particularly well for club nights because it feels themed without looking like a traditional costume.

Last-Minute All-Black Halloween Outfit.

Left your Halloween look until the last minute?

Start with black.

Pair a black bodysuit with trousers or a mini skirt, or choose a little black dress and let the accessories create the theme.

Add cat ears, dramatic eyeliner, silver jewellery or a dark lip and your Halloween look is ready.

Halloween Party Dress

Not every Halloween plan needs fancy dress.

If you're heading for dinner, cocktails or a party, choose a statement dress instead.

Look for details such as ruching, satin, corset shapes, cut-outs, mesh or diamanté to make the outfit feel more dramatic.

The benefit is that you still have a dress you can wear again after Halloween.
