Fancy dress notes for Halloween

If the thought of stepping out tonight in fancy dress fills you with dread, fear not. We’ve got you covered. Literally.

No sexy devils or naughty red riding hoods here. Who needs chill blains?

This Halloween, we advocate more of an old school approach to the midnight madness. Think gorgeous Gothica or mesmeric Morticia on a night out. Fake blood and fright wigs optional.

STYLE NOTES:

Make like Giles with an added ruffled collar and velvet cape for a vampiric take on Victoriana.

Give good face like Givenchy’s take on Mexican street girl gangs.

Think fake septum piercings (face jewellery, we like!) paired with gelled waves and hair licks.

Mix sheer fabrics with lace, crushed velvet and PVC for some textured trick-or-treating.
