Posted by COSTUME N PARTY
Looking for a Halloween costume shop in East London? Whether you’re heading to a party, dressing up for work or planning a spooky evening with friends, choosing a recognisable theme makes putting your outfit together easier.
At Costume N Party, our fancy dress shop in London, you can explore costumes, masks, wigs, makeup and accessories—and get help choosing the right size and finishing touches.
Here are seven Halloween looks to consider.
Explore our Halloween costume collection, or browse horror masks and accessories to build your look.
1. A vampire with a dramatic cape
Start with dark trousers and a shirt, or a black dress. Add a cape and costume fangs to create a recognisable vampire look.
For a more elaborate outfit, choose a complete vampire costume and finish it with pale makeup and dark eye detailing.
Complete the look: Vampire outfit, cape, costume fangs and makeup.
Try these pieces: Hooded Vampire Cape and Vampire Fangs. Check each product page for sizes, what’s included and current availability.
Browse vampire costumes and capes.
2. A witch with a statement hat
A pointed hat can turn a simple dark outfit into a witch costume. Add a wig or cape, or choose a complete outfit for a coordinated look.
Try a traditional storybook witch, a colourful party witch or a darker gothic style.
Complete the look: Witch costume or dark outfit, pointed hat and optional wig.
Finishing touch: Witch Hat with Diamante Buckle for a simple black witch outfit.
3. A skeleton for a straightforward Halloween look
A skeleton costume makes a clear statement without needing lots of accessories. Check the product’s measurements and choose a fit that allows you to sit and move comfortably.
Optional skull makeup can carry the theme through. Follow the makeup instructions and leave time to apply it before your event.
Complete the look: Skeleton outfit and optional face paint.
Outfit option: Neon Skeleton Bones Costume, with trousers and a top with hood mask. For an accessory-led look, consider the Skeleton Instant Kit with hood and gloves.
Browse skeleton costumes and makeup.
4. A zombie version of an everyday character
Choose a character first: a zombie office worker, school pupil or party guest. Then use a ready-made outfit or clothes you’re happy to alter.
Makeup and suitable fake blood can add the finishing details. Read the instructions first, as some products may stain clothing.
Complete the look: Zombie outfit, makeup and suitable fake blood.
5. A horror-film-inspired outfit
Start with a recognisable character mask and pair it with a matching costume or clothing.
Check visibility and comfort before wearing a mask out. Your venue may also have restrictions on face coverings and costume props.
Complete the look: Character mask and coordinated outfit.
6. A devil with bold accessories
A red or black outfit and a horn headband can create a simple devil look. Add a wig or makeup if you want a stronger effect.
Keep accessories manageable if you’ll be dancing or travelling through busy areas.
Complete the look: Red or black outfit, horns and optional wig.
Browse Halloween props and accessories.
7. A funny Halloween costume
Halloween outfits can be playful too. Consider an animal costume, novelty outfit or inflatable costume for a party where you want to start conversations.
Think about space and movement before choosing a larger outfit. For inflatable costumes, check battery requirements and what is included.
Complete the look: Novelty costume and comfortable footwear.
