As October nears its final days and November creeps in, Halloween weekend provides the perfect transition between the two autumn months. For many, it's one last time to get properly dressed up before the Christmas season kicks in, and an opportunity to have fun, attend themed events and experiment with outfits and costumes. Whether you love it or loathe it, our carefully selected Halloween edit will help you to create the perfect look for whatever’s in your social calendar.
Home movie night
If you prefer to stay inside this Halloween weekend – and judging from the weather, we really can't blame you – why not plan a fun horror movie night under the blankets? Get your friends together, fetch the popcorn, snacks and hot (or boozy) drinks and decorate your home with spooky buntings and candles. For the outfit, you might want to start with something casual like a t-shirt and jeans, whilst later changing into a comfy co-ord. Our Jordan Jumper and Trousers set is perfect for a cosy night in. Thanks to the soft fabric, you'll lounge in premium comfort, while its charcoal tone with contrasting white piping ensures you stay in theme even without bringing a costume.
Themed dinner and drinks
Autumn is called the events season for a reason, and with lives spent half indoors and half out, themed dinner parties and seasonal menus are to be expected this time of the year. Whether you've been invited to someone's house and don't want to go underdressed, or tasting a new menu in a hip restaurant down town, you can never ruin the vibe with a smart-casual suit. The rich, deep shade of our Harrie Suiting Jacket perfectly channels those moody autumn vibes, whilst keeping things effortlessly chic. As a full suit with the matching Tailored Trousers, it’s giving “boss witch” energy, putting together a power move ensemble that’s both playful and polished. Now, if you prefer to mix it up, the jacket paired with black skinny jeans gives more casual-refined vibes, whereas the trousers with a silk blouse can make you the mysterious, enchanting guest. Either way you’ll be casting stylish spells – no wand required.
Cinema date
With so many horror movies showing in the cinema around Halloween, there's no escaping the big screen. Whether you opt for one of the mainstream cinema chains or prefer to snuggle up in a quirky picture house instead, put some extra thought into your outfit with an elevated layer. Our Malika Fringed Jumper adds just the right amount of ‘spooky chic’ to your outfit, making it the perfect companion for a night of popcorn, thrills and chills. Paired with sleek leather trousers, you’ll nail the effortlessly edgy look. If you’re a more minimalist movie watcher, the classic black ribbed top is always a trusty basic, seamlessly tucked into those leather trousers, skinny jeans or black skirt. Both outfits are scream-worthy in their own right, balancing comfort and style.
Take it outdoors
The weather is visibly colder these days – it's October, after all – so wrapping up in a soft coat or jacket when venturing outside the house should come naturally. If you're planning on spending the Halloween weekend outdoors – whether you're heading to a pumpkin patch with the family, helping your little sibling gather trick-or-treat sweets or watching an elaborate firework display – add a chic layer to your look with our textured outerwear. Our Boucle Peak Lapel Coat is the ultimate cosy-chic layer, perfect for wrapping yourself up as the outside chills creep in. Its textued black finish gives off a stylishly mysterious vibe that complements everything from a dress to casual jeans. For an edgy alternative, reach for the glossy finish of a leather, or faux leather, jacket. Both pieces combine fashion and function, no matter your spooky plans.
RVSP only
Invited to a Halloween get-together and don't know what to wear? Heading to a club night on the weekend and need a thematic outfit? We have the perfect styles for you. Our Krista Organza Puff Sleeve Dress is ideal for bringing dramatic sophistication to a Halloween house party, mixing elegance with a touch of eerie. A soft knit figure-hugging body, paired with billowing organza sleeves, make for a hauntingly romantic combination. You can never go wrong with a little black dress, but if you’re looking to step away from the timeless go-to, embrace seasonal shades of darker reds and deep greens. Our Viola Velvet Long Sleeve Bodycon Mini Dress pairs its rich colour with a velvety finish, which screams glamour, whilst still channelling a touch of that spooky season allure. Whether venturing to a Halloween bash or themed club night, these dresses ensure you’ll turn heads. Now just add thematic make-up, some accessories and your party outfit is ready.
Halloween outfits aren’t limited to costumes – they’re about embracing the spooky season in style! Whether you’re staying in for a cosy movie marathon in a comfortable co-ord, or stepping out for a Halloween party in a classic little black dress, there’s an outfit for every end of October occasion. How will you be dressing for Halloween 2024?
